Exact match and Bing
-
Hi Folks
Fairly new to SEO and had two questions;
1- I have an SEO group doing work for us on a particular keyword, for the site http://bluetea.com.au/ .... however i've noticed that we only rank for the exact match of the keyword we ask them to work on... never a variation or even the plural .... Any thoughts?
2- http://bluetea.com.au/ has been around for almost 2 years however we still have absolutely no presence in Bing / Yahoo.... what am I missing.. any tips? Articles I must read?
Thank you in advance

Than you

Ali, my friend it seems someone is trying to do some negative SEO. First of all, by all means try and stop the guy/s from doing this. Next, try to contact the respective webmasters to have those rogue links removed. Then, use the Disavow tool in Google webmaster tools account and submit a request with proper documentation and details.

Good luck.
Best regards,

Hi Ali,
Your ranking is directly related to your content, on-page optimization and off-page optimization (link popularity). So if you want your pages start ranking for different variations of a keyword, you should be adding content related to these variations (each page targeting one keyword / phrase), you should be doing the on-page optimization keeping the emphasis on the targeted term for that page and placing it in places like title, description, H1 and other heading tags (H1 is recommended and others are optional), page's content (along with few tightly related variations to the targeted term. The keyword density can be around 1% in the article content of the page i.e. excluding to the term present in the other crawlable content like, the meta information, image attributes etc), in the anchor text of your internal links, in the image names, image titles, image alt text, bolding, italicizing the term in text etc and in your link building activity with approximates 20 to 25 % with exact term as an anchor.
For your second question, you can submit a sitemap through Bing webmaster tools account.
Hope these help.
By the way, any particular reason whey you used the term, "buy cocks" as an anchor in majority of your backlinks??
Best regards,
Devanur Rafi.

Keyword rankings for new website good in Yahoo and Bing but no movement in Google?
Hello, This past September I launched a new redesigned website for a client. His old website was a static html site that was many years old and the new website was created using WordPress. With the new design we made sure to use all the proper techniques for SEO. (h1 tages, image names, quality links, page titles, etc.) Plus, all the content is new content written for this site. I've actually launched new sites many times and after a few months usually start seeing keyword ranking improvements from the major search engines. With this particular website I'm seeing improvements in Yahoo and Bing but no movement in Google. I've used Google Webmaster Tools and made sure my sitemap is being submitted, etc. It all seems good, but I can't understand why Yahoo and Bing are working but nothing from Google. My page grades are all A's and B's and Moz isn't showing any big issues. Maybe I need to give it more time? This client is a lawyer and has many websites out there so maybe he's being penalized somewhere I don't know? As I mentioned, I've been doing SEO for about 8 years and have never had this much trouble with Google. I was wondering if you can look at the site and see if there are any glaring issues I'm missing. Website: http://www.arizonamedicalmalpractice.info/ The keyword phrases were are looking at are "Phoenix Medical Malpractice Lawyer", "Phoenix Medical Malpractice Attorney:, "Arizona Medical Malpractice Lawyer & Attorney", etc. I appreciate anyone who takes the time and does a quick look over. Thanks very much, Bill

Hreflang Tag great for Google, what about Bing or others?
I've read that the Hreflang Tag is all the rave for International solutions on a per page basis. I haven't read much about what International agencies are using for non-Google search engines such as Bing. Is the common language meta tags the only solution? would love to see an article that addresses this

Bing algorithm
What is up with Bing? I have a couple of small, but well-optimized Wordpress sites that dropped from top 3 to outside of top 50 in ranking for a list of key phrases in Bing, whereas in Google the very same sites had a positive development for the same phrases. I also work with a rather large, but (at the moment) poorly optimized site, and this site went from outside of top 50 to top 3 for several reasonably competitive key phrases! This should teach me not to take a vacation, I guess...

If microsoft (bing) owns yahoo, then why are the rankings different?
Same keywords, different positions of different companies. Aren't they using the same algo for their rankings?

Duplicate exact match domains flagged by google - need help reinclusion
Okay I admit, I've been naughty....I have 270+ domains that are all exact match for city+keyword and have built tons of back links to all of them. I reaped the benefits....and now google has found my duplicate templates and flagged them all down. Question is, how to get the reincluded quickly? Do you guys think converting a site to a basic wordpress template and then simply using 275 different templates and begging applying each site manually would do it, or do you recommend. 1. create a unique site template for each site 2. create unique content any other advice for getting reincluded? Aside from owning up and saying, "hey i used the same template for all the sites, and I have created new templates and unique content, so please let me back".
