Anyone good at ranking on Yahoo?
-
I don't get Yahoo or Bing these days!
I wrote a story "Did David Wineland and Serge Haroche Steal Idea For The Nobel Physics Prize?"
It is a unique story, sourced from a prince.
It is referenced on many other sites.
It has had about 115,000 pageviews so far. most of those people read 2 or 3 pages.
Do Yahoo or Bing list my story?
No.
They list all the referencing sites, they even list unrelated stories on my site that show that headline in the "top ten stories of the day" widget, but not the story itself.
It has about 1250 shares.
What am I doing wrong?
Is it page structure?

Thank you Cyrus.
I do have Bimg WMT, but I haven't checked out all of thise things.
Thank you, I will.
Google's URL count is a little high now, since I moved a million pages onto subdomains two months ago. They are very slow in releasing the pages I don't want them to have.
As you say, Bing is very low, and I don't understand why that is, because it should be around 96,350

Hi Alan,
It's not uncommon for Bing/Yahoo to vary in search results from other search engines, but the scope of the difference you describe does seem a bit odd.
Although I can't tell you exactly why it isn't ranking there are a few things we can look at:
1. The site is in Bing's cache. That's reassuring. And the last crawl date was pretty recent.
2. To analyze problems, I'd check the site through Bing Webmaster Tools. If you don't have a Webmaster account, I'd take a few minutes to set one up and verify your website. Once you do this the webmaster suite has several diagnostic tools you can take advantage of.
- SEO Analyzer
- Link Explorer - Enter your URL and see if Bing has indexed links to this particular page
- Fetch as Bingbot - See if the Bing crawler discovers any issues when crawling the page
It's pretty common for Bing/Yahoo to index far fewer pages than Google, and indeed you can see the huge different numbers reported for your site
Which seems like a really big difference. Bing does a pretty good job of removing low quality pages from its index, but I can't be certain that's what happening here. It might be worth a look to see what pages are being indexed, what ones aren't being indexed, and finding out what the difference is.
Regardless, hope this helps, if only a little. Best of luck with your SEO!

Are topic clusters a good use of time/energy?
I'm learning about topic clusters, and not sure if it's a good use of time/energy, but first want to make sure I understand the concept. Topic Clusters You have a main blog, or marketing web page, such as "The holistic solution for a healthy cat" where you actually sell a thing, let's say an imagine "Monthly Cat Health Everything Box" subscription. Now that page is ranking poorly and already optimized for SEO on "healthy cat" type words. So, you then go in and create a bunch of sub-pages or blogs on dome same website/domain for like Best Cat food for Main Coons, How to get lazy cats to exercise, etc. Each one will a single link up to the main blog or page. Now you're getting Google authority "weight" on "healthy cat" in a bunch of other blogs that all link to the main blog/page. This will increase your topic authority on "healthy cat" and you'll get more organic visits on the main "The holistic solution for a healthy cat" page/blog. Is the above accurate? Or am I failing to understand the concepts of topic authority and topic clusters correctly? Does this work well? Is it a good use of time/energy? Thanks!

Is it Possible for an Internal Page to Rank for Various Terms Based ONLY on Blogging Anchor Text?
Hi everyone, Our company provides about 6 different services, each with a specific page on our website: 1. Accept ACH Payments (/accept_ach_payments.html) 2. Client Management & Billing Software (/customer_management.html) 3. Small Business Merchant Accounts (/small_business_merchant_account.html) etc etc Now, here's the question. One of our blogging strategies is to write content about how our online platform can help various types of businesses manage and grow their business. "5 Ways Fitness Business Can...." "How Law Firms Can Benefit...." etc In these blog posts, we don't specify our product, but we do link back into one of those main service pages, so I might link fitness management software to the Client Management & Billing Software (/customer_management.html) page as well as legal billing software to the same client management page Since there are so many different companies that could use our software, we don't want to include them on the Cl_i_ent Management & Billing Software page. That page is just about the benefits of the system and how it works as a great CRM. So....to make a long question short, are we able to rank the Client Management page for "fitness management software" and "legal billing software" if we don't use those terms on the "client management" page itself, and only use it as the anchor text when linking? Instead of making a separate page about how we can be used as a fitness management platform, we'd like our "client management" page to rank for various terms like "fitness management software" "legal billing software" "online church donation software" etc BUT, we don't want to bloat the client management page will all those other topics and content. Hope that makes sense, Patrick

Company Blog Killing our Rankings?
Our product is organic, eco, natural etc. Our blog covers organic, eco, natural culture. Sounds like a winner right? But what if we sold jars and our blog rarely talked about jars because jars are Boring? In webmaster tools, our keyword significance for the word organic is ranked 1st but for the word jars we're ranked 41st . Should i be placing our blog on a subdomain to make sure Google starts placing more emphasis on our jars? ie content on our site rather than content on our blog?

Directory Subdomain: Bad or Good?
We are thinking about setting up directory on a subdomain (local.sample.com) with content supplied by DirectoryM. Despite assurances by DM that they are Panda proof, I am uneasy releasing 100's of 1000's of pages at once to the search engines with content that is somewhat limited in value. Even if DM can somehow make these directory pages look a little unique then what they already have out on the internet, I am still scared how a potential spammy subdomain will impact the master domain. The upside to DM is that they can add 1000's of new weekly visitors and they will add 1000's of links to our pages to our master domain to their existing directory sites. What approach would you take here? Is there any risk in trying this out or are my fears unfounded? Would mass linking to the subdomain from the master site impact the master site?
