      SEOmoz is good I've learned a lot from it.  I'm on my 3rd month and now have 8 keywords in top 50 for one site and 1 keyword in top 50 for another.  This is for Google US.

      For Bing and Yahoo! US however I am still not in the top 50 for anything.  I have read elsewhere that meta-tag page words can be regarded by these engines as a spam signal.  In my meta I have used competative keywords that are relevant to my content, some of which are in the body, but are not my actual targeted keywords as a red-herring to potential competitors.  Also might be usefull for other smaller places that still use meta-tags.

      Could not appearing in BingHoo! have something to do with their alogrithms and the meta-tags? or is it an SEOmoz issue?

      I have another question also.  The " / " after a domain name doesn't appear in my Firefox address bar (I think I did a 301 redirect), but when I copy and paste it into an entry box (e.g. for a link submission) it puts the " / " there at the end which I take off.  Does this make any difference?

            Nobody answered in a couple of days but since then I have had a look around and gathered from other places and threads on here that I should try submitting my site to Bing because they don't index as many pages. Best answers are always from variety of sources and work out the average.  I'll look around a bit more for the " / " issue if it make any difference, it doesn't seem to have.

            Yes you're free to delete.  I'm at 50 points which entitled me to a hug from Roger which I have now had, so....if you delete the thread and I get to 50 points again later on does this mean I get 2 hugs?  it may look like I've gamed the hug system, it wasn't deliberate.

              We usually don't delete questions, but leave them here so other people can learn. And no worries about gaming the hug system. 🙂
