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

I am just the opposition. Ranking very good for Google but hardly not at all on Yahoo and Bing.

I have ALWAYS been able to rank on Yahoo and Bing faster than Google. Google takes time (at least for me). While you may be getting indexed, try submitting a sitemap to see if you can get even more pages indexed.

You are definitely getting indexed: site:stbarthexclusives.com
Are you getting ranked high for the same words as Yahoo/Bing? Apparently, Google feels that your site isn't as relevant as other sites for those keywords (I don't see any signs of a penalty). On others (especially long-tails--you are #1 such as: great choice for your escape to St. Barts).
Keep on working on your SEO (get some good inbound links).

Is it normal for Bing rankings to fluctuate so much on a daily basis?
Hi all, I launched a new website in Aug 2015, and have had some success with ranking organically on Google (position 2 - 5 for all of my target terms). However I'm still not getting any traction on Bing. I know that they use completely different algorithms so it's not unusual to rank well on one but not the other, but the ranking behaviour that I see seems quite odd. We've been bouncing in and out of the top 50 for quite some time, with shifts of 30+ positions often on a daily basis (see attached). This seems to be the case for our full range of target terms, and not just the most competitive ones. I'm hoping someone can advise on whether this is normal behaviour for a relatively young website, or if it more likely points to an issue with how Bing is crawling my site. I'm using Bing Webmaster tools and there aren't any crawl or sitemap issues, or significant seo flags. Thanks dhYgh

Why is Google ranking irrelevant / not preferred pages for keywords?
Over the past few months we have been chipping away at duplicate content issues. We know this is our biggest issue and is working against us. However, it is due to this client also owning the competitor site. Therefore, product merchandise and top level categories are highly similar, including a shared server. Our rank is suffering major for this, which we understand. However, as we make changes, and I track and perform test searches, the pages that Google ranks for keywords never seems to match or make sense, at all. For example, I search for "solid scrub tops" and it ranks the "print scrub tops" category. Or the "Men Clearance" page is ranking for keyword "Women Scrub Pants". Or, I will search for a specific brand, and it ranks a completely different brand. Has anyone else seen this behavior with duplicate content issues? Or is it an issue with some other penalty? At this point, our only option is to test something and see what impact it has, but it is difficult to do when keywords do not align with content.
