Hey

Could you provide a little more background?

• Is this a new site?
• has it previously ranked in Google AND Bing
• ranking for what and in what position?
• Has anything on the site changed radically recently?

I can see it is indexed in bing and often ranking in one engine usually is pretty close to another so it is likely just a case of waiting a while. I tend to think Bing is a little more old fashioned in it's approach to links and sensitive to traditional on page signals whilst Google has become more nuanced.

In all likelihood, it is just a matter of time but if you can give a bit more info I am sure folks will offer some advice.

Cheers

Hey

This seems like a 'feature' and as it goes I would not want to submit my details in a highly automated fashion like this as duplicate listings on major citation sites can cause problems (duplicate automated Google+ listings) etc.

Audit the listings every so often but there is no need to update the basic Name, Address and Phone number if nothing has changed.

Hope that helps

Yes and no. There are some special considerations for handling Ajax and there are other considerations beyond just crawling the navigation and discovering the pages on AJAX heavy sites.

This is worth a read:

Hey Bob

In this kind of instance we can almost defer to common sense.

• what are our important pages?
• how will people arrive at these pages?
• how will people browse to these pages?

If you sell 100 products and have 5 categories those categories are likely important pages - important for a user on your site and important for users in search. Having a consistent internal navigation helps indicate to the search engines that these pages are important enough to link to on every page. It also ensures site users can jump from category A to category B. Good for people, good for search engines - win win.

In an ideal world we want a nice consistent hierarchy with your persistent navigation and URLs all being well aligned.

Nav

• Home
• Products
• -> Category A
• -> Category B
• -> Category C
• Contact

URL Structure

/
/products/
/products/category-a/
/products/category-b/
/products/category-c/
/contact/

Then any other elements can also line up - page titles, meta descriptions, breadcrumbs, h tags etc.

Ultimately, this is not any kind of SEO voodoo but rather the nuts and bolts of a user friendly and search friendly site.

Hope that helps!

Hey, I agree, Irving's suggestion is the better option all round if your going for the footer link.
