Why won't my keyword search results appear on google's top 50?
-
They are only appearing on Bing and Yahoo, can anyone share some insight?Help? Here is the URL: www.aaexs.com

We would really need more information to answer this such as what position in Bing and Yahoo is the site? What keywords you are targeting? Has your site dropped in rankings or always positioned low?
There could be a number of reasons why you are not ranking well. Without more info it would be hard to give a better answer.

Your site is very poorly optimized. You would benefit a lot by implementing basic SEO best practices. A good place to start is here: http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo
Regarding Bing/Yahoo, Bing has a 10 year agreement to control Yahoo's search results so they are basically the same company from a search result perspective. They have different ownership then Google and operate differently. If you have an outstanding site, then your results may be aligned but otherwise there is often differences.
What keyword are you trying to rank for? A best practice is to focus a single keyword per page. Your home page title is: Roof Installation, Roofing Contractor, Siding Contractor Chicago, IL. Apparently you are trying to rank for multiple words which will not yield the best results.
Another sign of your keyword focus is your H1 tag which is missing on your home page.
When I search Google for "All American Exterior Solutions" you rank #1. If you want to rank for "roof installation" there is a lot of SEO work to perform. Your home page only uses the term a single time in content and it is not in the first sentence so it does not appear to be the focus of the page. You also have another page of your site which is better optimized for the term: http://www.aaexs.com/residential/roofing
Also, your footer is incredibly spammy.
Google desires to return relevant, quality pages in their search results. You may be a great company but your web pages need to improve in order to rank in Google for the terms related to your business.

Did you create a sitemap and submit it to Google through a Webmaster account (I'm making an assumption you have one)? That's one of the best ways to get them to crawl and index your pages.

Non-indexed or indexed top hierarchy pages get high PageRank at Google?
Hi, We are creating some pages just to capture leads from blog-posts. We created few pages at top hierarchy like website.com/new-page/. I'm just wondering if these pages will take away more PageRank. Do we need to create these pages at low hierarchy like website.com/folder/new-page to avoid passing more PageRank? Is this is how PR distributed even now and it's same for indexed or non-indexed pages? Thanks

Google Hangout Video Takeover?
A while back I posted about a youtube video campaign that dominated the attorney rankings throughout Florida. Today, I noticed a new hangout video that does not have the reach of the before mentioned video, but it has just popped up as number three for the term "Tampa Car Accident Attorney." It wasn't even listed anywhere in the first few pages Monday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=barTgGYQTIM Has anyone else noticed Google Hangout Videos having this kind of success or is this a "flash in the pan" incident? Also, is there any significance to this even being a Google Hangout video as opposed to just a youtube video? Thanks, Ruben

Should I remove my keyword meta?
So it's safe to assume keywords are no longer used by SEs in the old fashioned sense to rank sites, but should be keep them as indicators of site content? It's been suggested by some that they're detrimental for two reasons: 1. Your competitors can snoop the keywords you're targeting but mainly... 2. Over-optimisation is the enemy these days! Thanks for your input 🙂

Google Authorship and Hobby Blog
I hope that someone can help me come up with the best option. Please forgive my ignorance on this issue. I have a hobby blog and up until now I have not wanted to associate it with my real name. It is a menswear blog about classic American style. I was afraid that it may be a hindrance if I was ever looking for a more conservative career than SEO. I am now reconsidering this and thinking that claiming it may be of more help than harm. Which brings me to Google Authorship. My dilemma and misunderstanding stems from the fact that I have mutliple Gmail accounts. I am guessing that some of the newer accounts have a G+ associated with them. So my question is do I use the email that is associated with my blog or my main gmail that I use personally? If I do use the gmail associated with the blog will it then become my default Google plus profile? Any insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance. If any of you are interested the hobby blog is Oxford Cloth Button Down.

URL Importance In Search
This may have been addressed before. If it is, please link me to the thread. I'm trying to SEO for local surrounding cities my client services. It was suggested I purchase domains relevant to those cities and create separate pages optimized for those local keywords. Wondering if this is a good tactic. For example my client's business is located in Chicago, but services the surrounding suburbs of Chicago. Whats the current, best way to SEO?

How do you get the Mini-Embed-Link-Thingies in search results?
Rand Fishkin touched on the tiny links that can appear for your search result - not the 6 pack of links that show the structure of your site, but the 2-4 links that show up on one line below your meta description. Any idea how to earn or influence these? He mentioned them in the "New Opportunities in Google's Search Results" webinar from May 2011 on Slide 19 if that helps. An example would be if you search "seo guide" in Google search, the SEOmoz link has those mini links below the meta description. Are they random or can they be influenced?
