That's good to know, thank you for the suggestion on creating geo based. I was hoping their was another way to rank locally for each city we provide services in. Maybe one day, i guess this type of business model isn't quite in Google's sites yet for local.

I have a new SEO client that has a business model similar to Criagslist and Angies List or Task Rabbit, Where they offer local based services nationwide. My first thought was Local link building and citation building etc. But the issue is they are a purely online service company and they don't have a phyiscal address in every city/state they will be offering their services in.

What is the best course of action for providing SEO services for this type of business model. I am pretty much at a stand still on how to rank them locally for the areas they provide services in. it's a business model that involves local businesses and customers looking for services from those local businesses.

You have been extremely helpful. Thank you for all your help. I will get right on this to get resolved.

I have used SEO analyzer before and i did it again just now and it gave me some weird error.

This is the result:

<label class="error" for="seoUrl">The URL has too many redirects</label>

| ! Redirects detected for the current URL |

I also have submitted the URL  in the "submit URL toolbox page" a couple times.

I will get working on the robots.txt and make sure it's put in place.

I don't do any of the development work on the site i just perform the SEO duties. Seeing those redirect errors is part of what im talking about with it saying there are to many redirects. Any idea what that's all about if its showing everything should be working properly?

I just scanned it again and based on the URL  i enter i get different results.
those redirect errors come when i analyze dunninggolf.com. But when i analyzed www.dunninggolf.com  I only 2 errors on homepage for missing alt tags on images and no H1 tag.

I have been working on getting some new links and have gotten a couple but nothing substantial as of yet.

This client is new for me and i am only aware of this site being around since June or July of last year.

I've been waiting for bing to show search results for the site for almost 5 months now and nothing has changed. I am getting to the point where i feel the culprit lies somewhere else besides saying bing indexing slowly as being an excuse.

Yeah, the URL is http://www.dunninggolf.com/

I did check a small handful of pages and i did see rel="canonical" in the page source code. I only saw it on product pages and category pages etc. blog and other pages not advertising product i didn't see it.

But like i said i only checked about 8 pages and 6 out of the 8 had that tag on it.

For the past few weeks I’ve been trying to figure out why my client's site is not indexed on bing and yahoo search engines.

My Google analytics is telling me I’m getting traffic (very little traffic) from Bing almost daily but Bing webmaster tools is telling me I’ve received no traffic and no pages have been indexed into Bing since the beginning of December.

At once point I was showing ranking in Bing for only one keyword then all of a sudden none of my pages were being indexed and I now rank for nothing for that website.  From Google I’m getting over 1200 visits per month.  I have been doing everything I can to possibly find the culprit behind this issue.

I feel like the issue could be a redirect problem. In webmaster tools on Bing I’ve used “Fetch as Bingbot” and every time I use it I get a Status of “Redirection limit reached.”. I also checked the CRAWL Information and it’s saying all the URL’s to the site are under 301 redirect. A month or so ago the site was completely revamped and the canonical URL was changed from non www to www. I have tried manually adding pages to be indexed multiple times and Bing will not index any of the sites pages. I  have submitted the sitemap to Bing and I am now at a loss. I don’t know what’s going on and why I can’t get the site listed on Bing.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Stephen
