Search Engine Optimization

After posting the first article on my site it got to page 3 on Bing and page 6 on Yahoo (never saw it on Google). However, 2 days later it is nowhere to be seen on either Bing

I'm sorry to hear that. I think the 2 comments below mine are spot on. Check for errors and if not then think of these search engines to have "shiny object syndrome".

Good luck and take care.

Very interesting. Have you already checked google search console as well as Bing Search console? I'd check if there are any issues with indexing the website. Maybe there are some errors you need to correct.

It's not uncommon for that to happen. The search engines basically "try it out" for a couple of days to see if it gets any clicks. If it doesn't, the rank moves lower.

Your first article needs company. When you've got a collection of articles, they'll all get ranked individually and stay indexed.

Why has my post disappeared off the face of the internet?

My latest post has got to page 4 on Yahoo and Bing but is nowhere to be seen on Google. My site has been indexed on Google for a few days.

Well it would seem so..

A lot of my targeted KWs are showing on Yahoo and Bing on the 1st page ... on Google the same KWs are on the 5th 6th or 7th page .. some are not ranked at all!

I found that once I started using the Google Search Console I started getting ranked. It's not much right now, but I have a fairly new site. There's the link to the training replay on it if you haven't watched it already.

Take care.

Thanks, I will take a look for sure.

My opinion.
G is a bigger search engine compared to Yahoo and Bing. Still depends on the keyword and niche you are at and how competitive is the niche.

G is more competitive to get rank. So if you are targeting high competitive keyword, it takes sometimes to get ranked on page one.

If I were you, I will not worry so much as you create more content, you are sending G more keyword to be ranked.

Thanks Joe. I guess that Google does have the most competition.

Interesting. Not really. If anything, in my personal experience, Bing and Yahoo take longer with my posts, though that's not always the case.

Do you have Google Search Console set up yet? Apologies, not sure if you've yet reached this part in the lessons. If so, then it would help enormously if you created an XML sitemap and submitted it to Google Console (aka webmaster tools) so Google at least knows you have regular new content to find. The sitemap updates automatically and in turn allows Google to find it. Furthermore, I believe Wordpress uses a 'Ping' system that submits new posts, on publishing, to Pingomatic, which in turn informs the key search engines that it is there to be found. This always used to be the case with Wordpress, but not sure if it still is today.

Nevertheless, the lessons here cover Search Console and Sitemaps so if you're not there yet, keep an eye out as this is covered.

Hope that helps?

Thanks so much for that response Sean, really useful.
I don't have Google search Console set up yet as I haven't got to that section yet. Will look out for it though.
Just checked again and my post is on page 3 of Bing but not even in the top 20 pages on Google (can't even find it on Google).

It's all a learning process though.



No worries :-)

Yahoo is powered by Bing, so the results are often similar.

Google has a completely different algorithm.

I wouldn't necessarily say it takes longer, it's just different.

Keyword, Niche and Market Research
Updated

I am on the verge of purchasing a domain to create the brand for my initial niche but after doing some keyword research other areas have come up related to my original niche. T

It's definitely possible. As long as they are related then I see no problem adding keywords like the one you put up there in. In fact, that actually makes sense with your niche, so that those that come to New York have the best experience possible.

Good luck!

Michelle/Anne

Yes, that's possible.

A niche means a focused small segment of the market. As you go along, it might be expanded to cover other areas or products but still related to the original one.

As long as it is related, it should be okay (in my opinion).

Joe

Thank you for the advice. So start focused and as the site grows expand a little?

You got it right, Keith.

A niche is dynamic not static. However, you want to focus on your on specific area / product first and as your site grows and you start getting traffic, then you might consider to expand it gradually.

All the best.

Joe

Thanks Joe, really appreciate the input.

Maybe so, but the niches should relate somewhat, for useful content..maybe tying them together somehow, selling related products.

Okay, so as long as the niches lead to the same/similar products?

Yes. I'm sure you'll get some other opinions, too! I wish you all the best--great question!!!
