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

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.
For more info about disavow: https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2648487
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.

Exact URL Match For Ranking
Has anyone else run into this issue? I have a competitor that purchases domain names for popular inner pages we are trying to rank for. We are trying to build a brand, our competitors have a lower domain authority but rank higher for inner pages in the serps with VERY little content, backlinks/seo work, they host a single page and do a re-direct to their main site. Would this be a good long term strategy? EX. We sell golf clubs our brand name is golfcity (Ex only) and we carry callaway clubs, our competitor is also building a brand but they purchased callawayclubs.net and do a re-direct. They rank on page one for keywords callaway clubs. If I do try to do this does one have an advantage over another? .com. net .org. because Ive seem them all used and rank on page 1. Thank you!!!

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

Why do I rank so differently in Bing and Yahoo?
Howdy SEOmozers, I've noticed that I rank very differently in Bing and Yahoo compared to Google (and it’s the bad kind of different) for many of the terms that I'm targeting. Can anyone give some advice on how I can put this right or link me to some good resources about the differences in their ranking algorithms? Thanks Paul
