Showing up in Bing and Yahoo, but not Google? - Spa Spot
-
Spa Spot Edmonton is a Client of ours and while it seems that they are performing very well in Bing and Yahoo search engines, the same can't be said about Google. 9 or 10 keywords are on the 1st page with another 9 or 10 on the second pages of Bing and Yahoo, whereas Google is only ranking 3 keywords and the rest do not show up even in the Top 50.
Any ideas?

Private network - essentially if you own all those sites that are linking to you, all using the same template, etc. that's potentially very bad. Especially when done the way you've done it.
If you're using an SEO agency who is building links from sites like hottubgalaxy (dotcom) for you, they're doing a very poor job of hiding their intent. If you are doing this yourself, stop it.
You obviously know a little about SEO given your exact anchor text link to start your question ... but even that, here on Moz, is kind of suspect in most cases. You could just give us the URL.

What is PN?

Bing and Yahoo rely more on on-page content for new sites than they do backlinks. Google prefers a good solid base of people linking to you most of the time.
According to Ahrefs you have 53 backlinks from 21 domains. 3 of these domains (and 12 links) are from Edmonton home & garden shows (ie. all the same people). Only 13 of these links are dofollow links and 40 are nofollow - a very strong ratio against you.
You also have pages that don't land in the same place they used to. You have links to /poker-tables/ but that redirects to /game-rooms/#poker-tables
Your Ahrefs anchor text shows about 48% of your referring domains link to the site using the word "hot" and 33% "tubs"
The backlinks you do have from sites like Hot Tub Galaxy, Hot Tubs for All, Just Cat Fishing, etc. are all extremely suspect and look like blatant spam to me.
I would suggest that the better question to ask would be: "why would Google rank this site at all?" At the moment, nothing off-site suggest they should. Sorry for the bad news. (Btw. if that's your PN, that's not how you do a PN.)

What should I do if same content ranked twice or more on Google?
I have a Bangla SEO related blog where I have written article like "Domain Selection" "SEO Tools" "MOZ" etc. All the article has been written in Bengali language. I have used wp tag for every post. I have submit xml site map generated by Yoast SEO. However I kept "no index" for category. I know well duplicate content is a major problem for SEO. After publishing my content Google ranked them on 1st page. But my fear is that most of the content twice or more. The keywords are ranked by post, wp post tag and Archive. Now I have a fear of penalty. Please check the screenshot and please suggest me what to do. uRCHf yq7m2 rSLKFLG

Any idea why Google Search Console stopped showing "Internal Links" and "Links to your site"
Our default eCommerce property (https://www.pure-elegance.com) used to show several dozen External Links and several thousand Internal Links on Google Search Console. As of this Friday both those links are showing "No Data Available". I checked other related properties (https://pure-elegance.com, http:pure-elegance.com and http://www.pure-elegance.com) and all of them are showing the same. Our other statistics (like Search Analytics etc.) remain unchanged. Any idea what might have caused this and how to resolve this?

Google Indexing of Images
Our site is experiencing an issue with indexation of images. The site is real estate oriented. It has 238 listings with about 1190 images. The site submits two version (different sizes) of each image to Google, so there are about 2,400 images. Only several hundred are indexed. Can adding Microdata improve the indexation of the images? Our site map is submitting images that are on no-index listing pages to Google. As a result more than 2000 images have been submitted but only a few hundred have been indexed. How should the site map deal with images that reside on no-index pages? Do images that are part of pages that are set up as "no-index" need a special "no-index" label or special treatment? My concern is that so many images that not indexed could be a red flag showing poor quality content to Google. Is it worth investing in correcting this issue, or will correcting it result in little to no improvement in SEO? Thanks, Alan

2015 Disavow Links on Bing?
In years past I was told not to disavow links in Bing unless the site had an issue. This was driven home when a site we were working on disavowed the links in google and saw the site recover after a few months, then when they disavowed the same links in Bing and the rankings dropped 20% over the next few months. The reasoning was that Bing was looking more at the qty of links, and didn't analyze links the way Google does. So even though you might disavow links in Google you might not want to disavow those same links in Bing. Does this still hold true in 2015? I want to get the community's opinion on this topic, should the same links be disavowed in Bing that are disavowed in Google? Why or why not?

Why does Google show Titles different than the coded titles?
Hi, I've noticed that on many pages Google shows on the SERPS titles that he chose for me and not necessarily the ones coded in the Title tag (usually small difference like adding suffix etc.). Why is that? Thanks
