Bing still not listing my site after 3 weeks, Google ranks very very low
-
I am scared that somehow the search engines are penalizing me for something, but I don't know what.
The site can be found at http://www.hypnotherapy-guide.com
It is a business directory/advice/guide site listing a lot of hypnotherapists (9000). Is it possible that such a large site popping up over night is flagged by the SE as spam?
I don't know what I am doing wrong.

I agree to a point but if your running a company on the web I would I would open my Who is to allow people to see my company information. I would not use my personal email I would use an email that is tied to your company however has its own individual box and I would set the spam filter extremely high on it. I would also make sure that your company information is listed primarily for spam filters more than search engine optimization however I know that by opening it up you will not be a will to hurt yourself with the search engines by blocking it there's a possibility that you can however if you feel very uncomfortable having people see the information I completely understand however I would strongly recommend just having very general information and then letting your DNS host or web host serve as the technical contact
Check this out #5I'm not saying that this is 100% right but it does make some sensehttp://www.redflymarketing.com/blog/the-5-easiest-ways-to-get-search-engines-to-trust-you/I hope this is of help sincerely, Thomas

Your whois privacy settings shouldn't do much in terms of rankings. Beyond submitting your sitemap, you can also submit URLs of actual pages through Google and Bing with their Fetch as Googlebot and Fetch as Bingbot tools. I'd do that for Bing, as it might help you get into their index faster.

Great, thank you for your speedy responses.
I actually did all the web tools for Bing and Google, so I am going to resubmit my sitemap just in case.
In terms of privacy settings, how much does this influence? I ask because I am not trading an d have not set up an official company as of yet, so I don't want to expose my personal details to spammers and the like.
What do you think?
Thanks again

Make sure you let Google and Bing know that your site exists! Set up Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools. Also, you can submit URLs in both to try and get your pages indexed faster.

Your domain needs a little bit more time. Give minimum of six months for it to show up correctly on Google
<abbr title="The company that the domain was registered with.">Registered Through</abbr>:<abbr title="The primary domain name.">Domain Name</abbr>:hypnotherapy-guide.com<abbr title="The day the domain was first registered.">Created</abbr>:2013-06-05<abbr title="The day the domain is set to expire.">Expires</abbr>:2014-06-05<abbr title="The last time the domain was updated/altered.">Updated</abbr>:2013-06-06Also turn off the privacy settings. A lot of websites that evaluate other websites consider that the hiding something.You can use OpenWebExplorer found here to find back links to your domain. I tried it with www. and without and got the same resulthttp://www.opensiteexplorer.org/anchors?site=www.hypnotherapy-guide.com

I assume that this is a brand-new domain?
You have a zero Moz rank for your site http://www.hypnotherapy-guide.com/
So you have to wait a little bit until Google actually make sure it can first index your site which it sounds like it has.
Then you have to get credible content and credible links pointing to your site in order to get a good ranking. You can use Bing Webmaster tools in order to get your site right there quicker and make sure it's indexed faster than it would be without having to use use the tools.
I hope I've been of help to you,
Thomas

Google Search Console Site Property Questions
I have a few questions regarding Google Search Console. Google Search Console tells you to add all versions of your website https, http, www, and non-www. 1.) Do I than add ALL the information for ALL versions? Sitemaps, preferred site, etc.? 2.) If yes, when I add sitemaps to each version, do I add the sitemap url of the site version I'm on or my preferred version? - For instance when adding a sitemap to a non-www version of the site, do I use the non-www version of the sitemap? Or since I prefer a https://www.domain.com/sitemap.xml do I use it there? 3.) When adding my preferred site (www or non-www) do I use my preferred site on all site versions? (https, http, www, and non-www) Thanks in advance. Answers vary throughout Google!

How do I know what pages of my site is not inedexed by google ?
Hi I my Google webmaster tools under Crawl->sitemaps it shows 1117 pages submitted but 619 has been indexed. Is there any way I can fined which pages are not indexed and why? it has been like this for a while. I also have a manual action (partial) message. "Unnatural links to your site--impacts links" and under affects says "Some incoming links" is that the reason Google does not index some of my pages? Thank you Sina

My site is always in the top 4 on google, and sometimes goes to #2\. But the site at #1 is always at #1 .. how can i beat them?
So i'm sure this is a very generic question.. of course everyone wants to be #1. We are an ecommerce web site. We have all sorts of products, user ratings, and are loved by our customers. We sell over 3 million a year. So let me give you some data.. First of all one of the sites that keeps taking the #2 or #3 spot is amazons category for what we sell.. (i'm not sure if I should say who we are here.. as I don't want the #1 spot to realize we are trying to take them over!) Amazon of course has a domain authority of 100. But they never take the #1 spot. The other site that takes the #2 and #3 spot is not even selling anything. Happens to be a technical term's with the same name wikipedia page! (i wish google would figure out people aren't looking for that!) Anyways.. every day we bouce back and forth between #4 and #2.. but #1 never changes.. Here are the stats of us verse #1 from moz: #1: Page Authority: 56.8, Root Domains Linking to page: 158, Domain Authority: 54.6: root domains linking to the root domain 1.42k my site: Page Authority: 60.6, Root domains linking to the page: 562, Domain Authority: 52.8: root domains linking to the root domain: 1.03k So they beat us in domain authority SLIGHTLY and in root domains linking to the root domain. So SEO masters.. what do I do to fix this? Get better backlinks? But how.... I can't just email GQ and ask them to write about us can I? I'm open to all things.. Maybe i'm not using moz data correctly.. We should at least be #2. We get #2 every other day.

Worth contributing articles to a Page Rank 1 site?
My intuition tells me that it is not going to help with any SEO link benefit by posting an article as a guest writer on a Page Rank site of #1. It's a rather new fashion content site. The article would be informative and not a sales pitch. The only link is to our url home page in the bio. I've been told that links from low page ranking sites don't help anymore. But maybe over time the site will achieve higher PR status, and then the link in it would help us? Any thoughts? Thanks! ron

High ranked web site on Google GONE - but webspam team says nothing wrong
We purchased several weeks ago a .org blog that has been highly ranked (number 1 on competetive keywords) for at least a year. it is a blog We moved the blog to our IP range and it went from #1 on top keyword and first page on another to the home page just gone. Now there was a secondary page indexed that stayed on page 5 for the keyword the home page was ranked #1 but the home page (which was high ranked page is just gone) We wrote the Google Webmaster team for reconsideration but they wrote back and said the web spam team said nothing wrong. A contact of mine who works for one of the most well known SEO compaines in the world says because we moved it the site could disappear for a week or so but the "algos would realize" and return it to that top spot soon. Does anyone know anything about moving a site to new IP and issues that can result?

So What On My Site Is Breaking The Google Guidelines?
I have a site that I'm trying to rank for the Keyword "Jigsaw Puzzles" I was originally ranked around #60 or something around there and then all of a sudden my site stopped ranking for that keyword. (My other keyword rankings stayed) Contacted Google via the site reconsideration and got the general response... So I went through and deleted as many links as I could find that I thought Google may not have liked... heck, I even removed links that I don't think I should have JUST so I could have this fixed. I responded with a list of all links I removed and also any links that I've tried to remove, but couldn't for whatever reasons. They are STILL saying my website is breaking the Google guidelines... mainly around links. Can anyone take a peek at my site and see if there's anything on the site that may be breaking the guidelines? (because I can't) Website in question: http://www.yourjigsawpuzzles.co.uk UPDATE: Just to let everyone know that after multiple reconsideration requests, this penalty has been removed. They stated it was a manual penalty. I tried removing numerous different types of links but they kept saying no, it's still breaking rules. It wasn't until I removed some website directory links that they removed this manual penalty. Thought it would be interesting for some of you guys.

Widespread Ranking Drops for Strong, White Hat sites
Hi Moz, A few of our sites experienced widespread ranking drops across all keywords this morning. Both of these are very strong sites with a high DA (56), moz rank and moz trust above 5. We haven't been doing any black hat SEO, creating spammy links, or paying for links. Is anyone else seeing anything similar or have any ideas as to what type of Algorithm update this might be? We currently rank 67th for our name.
