Jake Boly | That Fit Friend

There are no violations in my Bing Console…so what guidelines have I violated???

Hey @BingWMC — can you look into my site thatfitfriend.com and stop sending the same automated emails? I’ve received the same automated email asking for answers about my site 5x now. All I want is a human to physically look at the site and tell me it’s poor quality.

@BeerFOMO @BingWMC May try this if I don’t hear back. They need to dig into the indexnow thing and the data I presented because this isn’t the first instance this has happened to others from what I’ve learned.

@Jake_Boly @BingWMC I had this issue a few years ago with a site I had listed for sale (!) and I couldn't find any specific issue so I just reintegrated the site with Bing Webmaster Tools and deleted then resubmitted the site maps and it bounced back the next day.

Hey @BingWMC — can you look into my site That Fit Friend? It’s been completely deindexed from your search engine and there are no warnings or issues that I can see on my end. I have a few email threads explaining what I think happened & the support team hasn’t been helpful.

@its_hritwikraj @bing Yeah, I keep getting the most generic emails.

@Jake_Boly @bing They won’t help. They will send the same response, “Your site doesn’t meet guidelines” and so on.

If you use Cloudflare, do NOT enable the “crawler hints” function. Mine was turned on and I had no idea for two months. It was sending a ton of random URLs to @bing indexnow tool and now TF2 has been completely taken out of their index 😂 Their support has been no help at all

@KarlShucks @BingWMC Check this out. I’m annoyed because I didn’t even know this was happening. Look at that. Isn’t it nuts? And it’s random effin URLs, lol.

@Jake_Boly @BingWMC Right on time. Bing always does what Google did 3 to 5 years later. It's Bing's HCU.

@KarlShucks @BingWMC Nah, you should see the indexnow tool. The cloudflare feature was legit feeding it thousands of random URLs I’d never even want ranked. My hunch is their system flagged me as a spammer. My content is better than everyone else’s in my niche, I know it’s not a quality issue.

@GlytchTech This. I’m building training shoes that the US doesn’t even have the means to manufacture. YouTube commenter: “Just build in the US” Alright, commenter, then pony up the millions to build & staff the manufacturers that can make that happen. People don’t get it who aren’t in it

general consensus of the replies to this: people who are actually building things/running small businesses are affected people with brain damage who sit at their desk all day think its a good idea that americans pay the gubment more than the value of the goods to get their stuff

its real yall 🫠<$2k of equipment

The site has always been in good standing with Bing for the last four years I’ve been publishing. My theory is that when I switched to Cloudflare the “crawler hints” tool caused an issue with the indexnow tool. Look at the data there. Site linked below thatfitfriend.com

@rustybrick @googleanalytics Here on my end, too.

Google Analytics Real Time reporting glitching for many site owners - you are not alone seroundtable.com/google-analyti… any update @googleanalytics ?

@matthewmarley @glenngabe 🤝🤝🤝

@glenngabe Maybe their training data sucks thanks to the amount of AI garbage being published.. Just a hunch!

"More research is needed to understand why..." Oh boy -> OpenAI says its new o3 and o4-mini AI models hallucinate more often than its previous reasoning and traditional models, and the company doesn't know why techcrunch.com/2025/04/18/ope…

@darth_na @CyrusShepard @Google @sundarpichai @searchliaison @googlesearchc Agreed. Keen to see how many people keep feeding the system with little to no compensation. Grateful for this past year — made me take a good hard look at where I want to take my business/where I want to make my impact.

@Jake_Boly @CyrusShepard @Google @sundarpichai @searchliaison @googlesearchc Yup. It was bad/hard enough when: a) People would scrape/spin b) G would rank Big over Original But throw in the AIHole aspect, with mass scraping and paraphrasing, by TechBros and Google/Bing ... ... and people really need to think long and hard over content publishing.

The future of Google: AI answers whenever it thinks it provides a "net value over the rest of the search results" If combining answers from sites works better, you're going to see that every time. If you mass-produce content, what value do you bring that Google can't replicate?

@darth_na @CyrusShepard @Google @sundarpichai @searchliaison @googlesearchc This is why I rarely publish content anymore. Just ain’t worth it to have it scraped by LLMs and big media sites.

@CyrusShepard The problem is ... ... why should anyone expend the resources to create/publish better content, when @google will simply steal it? @sundarpichai / @searchliaison / @googlesearchc ???

@CharlestonCraft Just start of Q2 stuffs and I think everyone is [likely] holding onto money a little tight atm, understandably. Consumers and companies with ad spend.

Woof, that April RPM drop.

@notsleepy @tehseowner I agree with this entirely. I’m with you, I think most get that paralysis from trying to learn & be optimal before starting instead of just doing, breaking, adjusting, and learning. It’s why I see most in the fitness world get stuck on projects/coaching. It’s simple, get reps.

@tehseowner Agree. I even got the point where sometimes I avoid too much research and advice seeking because some of the gems I’ve discovered come from doing something different than the consensus.

Correct. Too few understand this.

@natejhake I just don’t get it.

@aworldtravelguy Was at Stl cardinals game yesterday. Asked if they sold coffee AIO: “yes at the multiple grill house whatever place inside” Ask employee… “We’ve never sold coffee” Glad I walk around 15 min looking for it lmao

Never trust Google's AI Overviews. They're still spitting out stuff that's totally false. US green card holders DO need a visa for Argentina. US citizens do not. None of the sources here back up this AIO in any way. It's mixing up GC holders and citizens.

@usemyhandle @MasabDF Bros, I’ve seen big media take a shoe review I’ve pubbed and every pro, con, and performance note is virtually the same. Their well will dry up soon. The writers doing this will also be unemployed soon enough. Burn it all to the ground.

@MasabDF I wrote a guide and that guide was apparently shares internally at a Valnet site. Minutes after publishing it was getting clicks from a Valnet site. So your theory might not be wrong. And AI humanized content might also be how they spam so much content.

How do content mills thrive on Google? A lot of content mills run algorithms that track targeted sites. If a writer publishes a game guide based on hands-on experience, content mills are notified instantly. 1/7
