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.)

How does google recognize original content?
Well, we wrote our own product descriptions for 99% of the products we have. They are all descriptive, has at least 4 bullet points to show best features of the product without reading the all description. So instead using a manufacturer description, we spent $$$$ and worked with a copywriter and still doing the same thing whenever we add a new product to the website. However since we are using a product datafeed and send it to amazon and google, they use our product descriptions too. I always wait couple of days until google crawl our product pages before i send recently added products to amazon or google. I believe if google crawls our product page first, we will be the owner of the content? Am i right? If not i believe amazon is taking advantage of my original content. I am asking it because we are a relatively new ecommerce store (online since feb 1st) while we didn't have a lot of organic traffic in the past, i see that our organic traffic dropped like 50% in April, seems like it was effected latest google update. Since we never bought a link or did black hat link building. Actually we didn't do any link building activity until last month. So google thought that we have a shallow or duplicated content and dropped our rankings? I see that our organic traffic is improving very very slowly since then but basically it is like between 5%-10% of our current daily traffic. What do you guys think? You think all our original content effort is going to trash?

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

Does Google consider affiliate masking as unethical? I have a offer website that has 1000's of affiliate links that are masked. I feel google does not like masking URL's which is why my ranking started dropping. Can any one explain the context of affiliate masking please?

Is Google Webmaster tools Accurate?
Is Google webmaster Tools data completely inaccurate, or am I just missing something? I noticed a recent surge in 404 errors detected 3 days ago (3/6/11) from pages that have not existed since November 2011. They are links to tag and author archives from pages initially indexed in August 2011. We switched to a new site in December 2011 and created 301 redirects from categories that no longer exist, to new categories. I am a little perplexed since the Google sitemap test shows no 404 errors, neither does SEO MOZ Crawl test, yet under GWT site diagnostics, these errors, all 125 of them, just showed up. Any thought/insights? We've worked hard to ensure a smooth site migration and now we are concerned. -Jason
