Indexing well in Google but not in Yahoo/Bing - WHY?
-
Been using SEOMOZ now to analyze and crawl a client's website for a while now.
One thing I've noticed is that our client's website is indexing well with Google. a few thousand pages are being indexed.
However, when it comes to Yahoo and Bing, the website only has a 100+ pages indexed.
We've submitted updated sitemaps to Google and Bing and have been fixing any broken links, and on-page SEO. Content is also good.
Here's the website: www.imaginet.com.ph
Any suggestions/recommendations are highly appreciated.
Thank you!

Bing have made it clear that they will not index all pages, it is their policy to index only the best pages.
you can use BWMT to put urls directly into the index, Bing will give anny page a trial, but may boot it out again if not deemed usefull.

There are 980 pages in the main Google index & the rest are in the supplemental index. Bing has around 129 or so in the main.
A lot in Google are for the subdomain philippinemining.imaginet.com.ph but not many subdomain ones are in Bing

Does Google push down for not ranking top for branded keywords?
Hi all, Usually websites rank for their branded keywords. Some times third party websites takeover the websites for branded keywords. If there are more number of such queries where website is not ranking (top) for branded keywords, Google push down website in overall rankings? Any correlation? Thanks

We have been through all the usual reason - hacking, duplicate content, back links, other sites copying text etc - but can not find any reason why its rankings have been affected. Has any one else noticed unexplained changes in rankings with sites about a week ago? Thanks in advance! Phil

Bounce rates: Google vs others
Hello Mozzers, I was wondering if anyone could share some insight into how Google calculates bounce rates vs other analytics out there. We use both Google analytics and Clicky here. I've made several changes and additions to the website in hopes to increase traffic, optimization and reduce bounce rates. So far so good on all fronts. However I do notice bounce rates are way higher on google analytics than Clicky. While I get a bounce rate of 20%-29% on Clicky, Google has me way up the 50's or 60%s. I've read a few articles on it but I'm still a bit confused. Thanks!

Google Site Links question
Are Google site links only ever shown on the top website? Or is it possible for certain queries for the site in position #2 or #3 or something to have site links but the #1 position not have them? If there are any guides, tips or write ups regarding site links and their behavior and optimization please share! Thanks.

Clients asks: How long till on Bing and Yahoo?
Hi there, One of my clients had asked me how long it would take for his site to get up on Yahoo and Bing. He's currently on Google, but those other search engines are lagging. It's been a week or so since his site launched, but I'm not sure what to tell him as I don't really know much about Yahoo and Bing.

Google decreased use of Meta Descripiton Tag
Over the past month or so I have noticed that Google is not using the meta description for my pages but is instead pulling text from the actual page to show on the SERP. Is Google placing less emphasis on meta descriptions?
