Bloggers' Bragging Rights - Drop It As It's Hot! by Nobody:
Just a little bragging for us bloggers!

Kindly drop any seemingly awesome achievements your blog have earned in the last decade.

I will start, first in 2012 Influence People, Inc. Awarded Questechie the Best Geek Blog in the prestigious World Media Awards!

In 2015 Questechie was listed on DMOZ (for those who know what it means to be listed in the Open Directory Project), what was a cult-like membership in those days.

NB: Though DMOZ has been shutdown but mirror sites are made available by the community and you can still find Questechie there, like here: https://dmoztools.net/Computers/Internet/News_and_Media/Weblogs/

And in 2018, it won best African Tech & Gadgets Blog Award.

Bing penalty is what I just recovered from, never knew Bing had so great an influence, with DuckDuckGo, Yahoo and a host of other minor search engines using Bing index! cool

If you meant, can't be found, did you make sure the right sitemap was submitted on Bing webmaster tools. And how old is your blog, because Bing is not as fast in indexing as Google.

It's still a new site, then. Give it more time, Bing takes time to fully index new sites.

Recovered fully and sold off the site for $3k+. No time for google to be playing ping pong with my heart cheesy. Sold it and created a new one. Will still sale thr new one in December cheesy.

Build, grow, and sale is my niche now. Google updates are becoming too frequent and frustrating.

Even the new owner is complaining of the negative effect of the May update on the site sef. grin
