Why did I drop off the face of the earth for bing but am #1 in google and yahoo?
-
This just happened two days ago and I don't get it. I have been using rank tracker.
-
It is odd for you to be listed as #1 in Yahoo but not listed in Bing. Can you please share your site URL and the keyword involved?
-
One more thing, do you have access to a proxy (i.e. HMA?) I was seeing wildly different results in rank tracker by my own ip vs others. Maybe you can tell us the domain and I can look it up to see what results I get?

Try adding some out going links to some authority sites inside of some content not sidebar or footer links. I have tried this on a clients site in the finance niche and got a 6% percent increase in traffic from Bing without making any other changes.
I used the name of the sites I linked too (mostly banks not competing dorectly with my clients sites for same keywords) as the anchor text for the links.

I've experienced the same issue recently. No bounce back as yet. But not all hat bothered, as Google still going strong and in the UK it accounts for approx. 94% market share for search engines.

This happened to a few of my sites last week, just completely dropped of the face of Bing for two or three days, no rankings and not even in the index. Then magically came back. The sites it happened to were unrelated and on different servers. I don't have an explanation or any advice but to make sure your sitemaps etc are all good in Bing Webmaster Tools. Hope your sites bounce back like mine did.

Domain Authority dropping for me and rival companies
Hey, I have noticed in the past week/2 weeks that my websites domain authority has dropped by 2 points but what is weird is all the other website which are our main competitors in our industry have also dropped by 2. I was wondering if anyone knows of any changes that have been made to the way the domain authority is calculated or is it just a coincident that we all dropped at one time?

Bing SEM Traffic showing up as Organic in Moz?
Hi there, Everyone! First time poster. 🙂 One of my clients has an ads string showing up in organic search? It is: s=bing_search&p=none . If I block it in the robots text, then I won't see any traffic results.

Why is MOZ and Google search Volume so different?
A search term in MOZ shows the monthly search volume to be 49K. In Google, the same term shows the search volume at only 1300 monthly searches. Which do I trust? Thanks, Don

Low KDS but high DA for all page 1 sites
Hi there A KDS report question... My client has a keyword with a low KDS (garden hose - 28). Intuitively this seemed too low, and when I checked what ranks, it is all high quality brand sites with high DAs. Admittedly the specific pages ranking have low PAs, but I can't see my client ever being able to compete with these big boys right now. How come the KDS is so low? This seems just wrong as the metric implies it is a good keyword to target - I know there are always lots of other things to check, but this does make me less confident with KDS reporting Anyone got any thoughts on this? Many thanks

Wild Fluctuations With Yahoo/Bing Moz Report
Whenever I get my weekly custom report, I usually see steady but moderate gains in Google or slight drops 1 to 3 spots. But, with Yahoo/Bing it's just crazy. +25 here, -47 here, etc, etc. Also, we even have keywords that we rank in the top 3 on with google, but not the top 50 with Bing or Yahoo. Not sure how that's possible. Nor do I understand how if Bing powers Yahoo, how we can have reports that show a dramatic increase (or decline) in Bing, but the opposite in Yahoo. Granted, not all the rankings are like that for Bing and Yahoo, but there are so many discrepancies, I'm starting to wonder if it's a software problem or something. Does this happen to anyone else? Thanks, Ruben

Has anyone noticed slight drops in the Domain mozRank of their sites since the OSE update?
There's been no significant changes to their link profiles, so I'm thinking how mozRank is measured may have changed. Anyone else have this issue?
