Bing still not listing my site after 3 weeks, Google ranks very very low
-
I am scared that somehow the search engines are penalizing me for something, but I don't know what.
The site can be found at http://www.hypnotherapy-guide.com
It is a business directory/advice/guide site listing a lot of hypnotherapists (9000). Is it possible that such a large site popping up over night is flagged by the SE as spam?
I don't know what I am doing wrong.

I agree to a point but if your running a company on the web I would I would open my Who is to allow people to see my company information. I would not use my personal email I would use an email that is tied to your company however has its own individual box and I would set the spam filter extremely high on it. I would also make sure that your company information is listed primarily for spam filters more than search engine optimization however I know that by opening it up you will not be a will to hurt yourself with the search engines by blocking it there's a possibility that you can however if you feel very uncomfortable having people see the information I completely understand however I would strongly recommend just having very general information and then letting your DNS host or web host serve as the technical contact
Check this out #5I'm not saying that this is 100% right but it does make some sensehttp://www.redflymarketing.com/blog/the-5-easiest-ways-to-get-search-engines-to-trust-you/I hope this is of help sincerely, Thomas

Your whois privacy settings shouldn't do much in terms of rankings. Beyond submitting your sitemap, you can also submit URLs of actual pages through Google and Bing with their Fetch as Googlebot and Fetch as Bingbot tools. I'd do that for Bing, as it might help you get into their index faster.

Great, thank you for your speedy responses.
I actually did all the web tools for Bing and Google, so I am going to resubmit my sitemap just in case.
In terms of privacy settings, how much does this influence? I ask because I am not trading an d have not set up an official company as of yet, so I don't want to expose my personal details to spammers and the like.
What do you think?
Thanks again

Make sure you let Google and Bing know that your site exists! Set up Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools. Also, you can submit URLs in both to try and get your pages indexed faster.

Your domain needs a little bit more time. Give minimum of six months for it to show up correctly on Google
<abbr title="The company that the domain was registered with.">Registered Through</abbr>:<abbr title="The primary domain name.">Domain Name</abbr>:hypnotherapy-guide.com<abbr title="The day the domain was first registered.">Created</abbr>:2013-06-05<abbr title="The day the domain is set to expire.">Expires</abbr>:2014-06-05<abbr title="The last time the domain was updated/altered.">Updated</abbr>:2013-06-06Also turn off the privacy settings. A lot of websites that evaluate other websites consider that the hiding something.You can use OpenWebExplorer found here to find back links to your domain. I tried it with www. and without and got the same resulthttp://www.opensiteexplorer.org/anchors?site=www.hypnotherapy-guide.com

I assume that this is a brand-new domain?
You have a zero Moz rank for your site http://www.hypnotherapy-guide.com/
So you have to wait a little bit until Google actually make sure it can first index your site which it sounds like it has.
Then you have to get credible content and credible links pointing to your site in order to get a good ranking. You can use Bing Webmaster tools in order to get your site right there quicker and make sure it's indexed faster than it would be without having to use use the tools.
I hope I've been of help to you,
Thomas

Strange site link on Google for a Facebook result
A Facebook page targetted to US Hispanics (with content in Spanish and English) is showing me a hindi sitelink underneath the main Facebook link when I google (in the US, English) for the page [ page name facebook]. We don't have any content in hindi, or targetted to that audience. If I click on the sitelink while logged out of facebook, I can see it takes me to a facebook subdomain of hi-in. When I'm logged in it just redirects me to the same page. Any idea why this could be happening?

Google Flux in Rankings Or Something More Serious
Hi all, Two weeks ago i noticed that one of our pages which normally ranks in the top 5 of search results dropped out of the top 50 results. I checked to make sure there were no Google penalties and checked to make sure the page was crawlable. Everything seemed fine and after a few hours our page went back into the number one position. I assumed it was a Google Flux. This number one ranking lasted about a week, today I see my page has dropped out of the top 50 yet again and hasn't come back up. again there are no penalties and there doesn't seem to be issues with the page. I'm hoping it comes back up to the top by tomorrow. What could be causing such a big dip multiple times?

Lost rankings in the last week
In the last week, my website's rankings dropped for a number of keywords. This is the first time I have seen a net drop (and it's significant) in my SEOMoz rankings report (been climbing consistently since January), and I haven't changed my strategy at all. Can anyone shed some light on this? I noticed that my two major competitors have both lost domain rank as well.

High Rankings, Search Volumes & Low CTR
I'm hitting a roadblock: I've successfully optimized our company website for 5 keyphrases, 3 of which we're ranking #1 in Google.com for, and for which monthly search volumes in the US are > 10,000. Yet, our CTR for those searches is below 1%!!! In plain words: people are looking for our industry, find us on as the first result, yet don't click on us! It's the first time I've experienced this in SEO and I'm wondering what is going on - and if anyone has suggestions. Any help is appreciated...
