Custom Maps? Googe, Bing, Openstreetmaps... Any more?
-
Hi Folks,
I'm looking for a mapping system that allows for a lot of customisation, e.g. adding overlays for different types of accommodation, famous places & landmarks etc, along with a whole host of other stuff.
So far I know of Google, Bing and OpenStreetMaps that might allow this sort of thing - are there any others that I should also consider?
As always, thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers
JM

Like a mashup? I have always used Google maps for this sort of thing. I have never used Bing Maps but heard great things...

#1 on Bing, nowhere on Google. Should be at least top 3\. Any ideas?
I have a page that "should" be top 3 on Google - it's optimised (A on the Moz Pro page grader), it's the most relevant result (it's for an e-book, and the page is the publisher's page for the e-book). Other pages on the site for other books are top of the Google SERPs, and this page itself is top in Bing for the search phrase. The page is https://camphorpress.com/books/formosan-odyssey/ and the keyphrase I want to rank for is "formosan odyssey" (with or without the quotes). Does anyone have any insight as to why it's not ranking in Google? Over-optimised? Duplicate content? Many thanks.

Should I block Map pages with robots.txt?
Hello, I have a website that was started in 1999. On the website I have map pages for each of the offices listed on my site, for which there are about 120. Each of the 120 maps is in a whole separate html page. There is no content in the page other than the map. I know all of the offices love having the map pages so I don't want to remove the pages. So, my question is would these pages with no real content be hurting the rankings of the other pages on our site? Therefore, should I block the pages with my robots.txt? Would I also have to remove these pages (in webmaster tools?) from Google for blocking by robots.txt to really work? I appreciate your feedback, thanks!

We uploaded our sitemap a while back and we are no longer see around 8 out of 33 pages. We try submitting the sitemap again about 1-2 weeks ago and there but no additional pages are seen when I do site: option in both search engines. I reviewed the sitemap and it includes all the pages. I am not seeing any errors in the seo moz for these pages. Any ideas what I should try?

Trouble making up a keyword map
I’m starting my first blog and I’m in the phase of making a keyword map. Now I’m not sure about how it done and if it is done right. I would be thankfull if you’d be so kind to check it out and tell me if it’s good or not and what should change. PM me if you wanna help me, I'll send out the excel file. P.S.S.: For those who help out, don’t mind the almost empty transactional column, ignore that, just advice on how it is ordered.

Getting Listed on Google Satellite Maps
How does a website get listed in the satellite version of Google Maps? I have clients that are ranking number 1 in the pack 7 with Google Places and local SEO but they don't show up on the big map. Click on this link to see what I mean http://connect7.biz/google-maps.jpg I have circled the listings in red. How are these businesses getting listed in the satellite version of Google Maps? Thanks

New Domain Page 7 Google but Page 1 Bing & Yahoo
Hi just wondered what other people's experience is with a new domain. Basically have a client with a domain registered end of May this year, so less than 3 months old! The site ranks for his keyword choice (not very competitive), which is in the domain name. For me I'm not at all surprised with Google's low ranking after such a short period but quite surprsied to see it ranking page 1 on Bing and Yahoo. No seo work has been done yet and there are no inbound links. Anyone else have experience of this? Should I be surprised or is that normal in the other two search engines? Thanks in advance Trevor

Mapping Internal Links (Which are causing duplicate content)
I'm working on a site that is throwing off a -lot- of duplicate content for its size. A lot of it appears to be coming from bad links within the site itself, which were caused when it was ported over from static HTML to Expression Engine (by someone else). I'm finding EE an incredibly frustrating platform to work with, as it appears to be directing 404's on sub-pages to the page directly above that subpage, without actually providing a 404 response. It's very weird. Does anyone have any recommendations on software to clearly map out a site's internal link structure so that I can find what bad links are pointing to the wrong pages?
