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

Local Google Place Ranking loss
One of our clients lost rankings on the local map results. Last month we changed the phone number on the G+ page so the number is the same as on the website but it's still a call tracking number. We also changed the url to example.nl/plumber-newyork so it directly links to the local page and we made the local G+ author of the local page in the website. Can these changes have something to do with the ranking loss in google maps results?

How would I know if Google is showing me as two separate sites?
I work for a company that is (for example) www.neat-stuff.com, most people just type in www.neatstuff.com. I think that we are being counted as a site twice. Any suggestions as to how to know for sure? If you want to know why I am asking this here is the link http://www.seomoz.org/q/redirect-help

Why am I not ranking in Google, but I am in Yahoo and Bing?
The website in question is: www.stbarthexclusives.com Our keywords are currently ranking for both Bing and Yahoo, but we're not appearing anywhere on Google. The website is being crawled successfully, but we still don't have any results. I hoping somebody can point me in the general right direction to fix/correct this problem. Additionally, there's a decent amount of "rel=canonical tags" on the website. If that helps your evaluation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

It appears that Googlebot Mobile will look for mobile redirects from the desktop site, but still use the SEO from the desktop site.
Is the above statement correct? I've read that its better to have different SEO titles & descriptions for mobile sites as users search differently on mobile devices. I've also read it's good to link build, keep text content on mobile sites etc to get the mobile site to rank. If I choose to not have titles & descriptions on my mobile site will Google just rank our desktop version & then redirect a user on a mobile device to our mobile site or should I be adding in titles & descriptions into the mobile site? Thanks so much for any help!

Google Freshness Update & Ecommerce Site Strategies
Just curious what other ecommerce SEO's are doing to battle fresh content. We've been having our clients work on internal blogs, adding articles one click away from landing pages, and implement product reviews when possible but I don't know that it's enough. Our bigger customers have landing pages (usually category pages) with very competitive keywords. So my main issue is what to do with fresh content on category pages.. I've toyed with the idea of having the landing page content re written every now and then. We used to use a blog parser to bring snippits of comments from the blog into landing pages but I believe that to be a problem with duplicate content. News snippits from other sites don't seem beneficial either. Anyone have any other ideas?

Triple listing in rankings
We have a triple listing for the keyword vca cursus (Dutch keyword). But the page we optimized for that keyword ranks lower than our vca examen page. First we had the number one spot but now we rank 2 to 5. In opensite explorer i compared the competiton and we scored on almost all factors better. Do you know the causes why the vca examen page ranks higher then the vca cursus page. Is it possible to change that or reverse the triple listing somehow. And why does our competitor ranks higher?

Duplicate Listings on Google Maps
About 3 weeks ago google created a duplicate listing for our law firm on google maps. In building links I have tried very hard to ensure that our address and company name was always listed identically. Our correct firm name and address is Feldman Feldman & Associates, PC 2221 Camino Del Rio South, Suite 201 inevitably somehow the new listing stated Camino Del Rio S, Ste 201 All of our reviews moved over to this new profile, I claimed it, changed it to make it the same reported it to Google. Google merged them. Now Google has created another profile this time the firm name and address matches ours exactly (South and Suite both spelled out), but all of the reviews have moved over except for the most recent one(s). I have claimed it again and reported it to google, changed the address. Google then created another listing. Our page rank for keywords has been hurt by this. any idea why this keeps happening suggestions? Here are the two pages. This is our original listing http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&cid=468564492130231259 This is the new one google self created that stole all our reviews, but is ranked very poorly for the keyword searches. http://maps.google.com/maps/place?&cid=468564492130231259

Getting Google to Correct a Misspelled Site Link...Help!
My company website recently got its site links in google search... WooHoo! However, when you type TECHeGO into Google Search one of the links is spelled incorrectly. Instead of 'CONversion Optimization' its 'COversion Optimization'. At first I thought there was a misspelling on that page somewhere but there is not and have come to the conclusion that Google has made a mistake. I know that I can block the page in webmaster tools (No Thanks) but how in the crap can I get them to correct the spelling when no one really knows how to get them to appear in the first place? Riddle Me That Folks! sitelink.jpg
