  Can anybody help me. I was checking to see when my site was last crawled by Bing by looking at the cache, and when I went to check all I got was a page that said 301 Moved Permanently? Does anyone know if the problems with me or with WordPress.com

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. Could you provide us with more details, please? What exact address (http://…) is returning a 301 message according to Bing?

  Hi, the address is http://www.dermotmacmanus.com. Also all pages linked to my site are also showing no cache detail. This seems to have occurred when I changed my theme to greyzed. If it’s easier I’ve attached the Bing url as well. It’s http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=site%3adermotmacmanus.com&d=5034298987056262&mkt=en-IE&setlang=en-IE&w=f5f25974,8f82e3de

  I think the 301 comes from the fact that Bing is crawling your site with the “www” in front of the address. It shouldn’t: there is no “www” in your address.

  301 is another way of saying: “Yes, this address works, but from now on, will you please use this one instead?”

  Thanks for your reply. Is there anything I can do to change matters. I’ve noticed that it has affected my page ranking, and that my index page is no longer cached.

  I’m not familiar with Bing Webmaster Center. You’d have to check with Bing directly or wait for another volunteer who knows that better.
