Quicksimpleinsurance.com is not getting any visibility in Bing/Yahoo! Any idea why? It's doing alright on Google.

I have a insurance wordpress blog that is not getting any visibility in Bing/Yahoo!  It's roughly 2 years old and has been indexed in all three major search engines.   It's doing alright in Google and actually showing some promising rankings.   But it's nowhere to be seen on Yahoo!/Bing for any insurance related phrases.

Any ideas what's wrong?

1 First of all submit your site

a) BING: http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx

b) YAHOO: http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit

And remove from your httaccess the redirection for slurp(yahoo webcrawler, maybe you have a redirection for it)

Cocarcea Ion, the original poster is indexed in Bing and Yahoo!. He states he is getting indexed, just hasn't had much traffic for related phrases. I've looked and do see his site being indexed in Bing and Yahoo.

In doing a quick look at your site, I'm not seeing too many quality backlinks, and there's little content. On everything but the home page, there is just a small amount of content that provides little information, and there are a bunch of ads. There's not much "there" there to convince the engines that your site is a good answer to someone's query.

How do you promote your site? In OpenSiteExplorer, the backlinks I'm seeing are mainly from comments on an audiobook site, plus a (now removed) spammed link on wiki.apache.org, a press release site, and a couple of other spam comments.

This doesn't specifically address Google versus Yahoo!/Bing, but improving the site should help in all of the search engines.

You need to look at why your content/posts are all redirecting to the home page. If I look at the archives for November at http://quicksimpleinsurance.com/2010/11, I see a list of articles, but all of the URLs have /redirect and all go to the home page.

Additional technical issues are needing to choose www or non-www and use proper redirects, adding a robots.txt file, and also making sure you're using the most current version of Wordpress to help keep yourself form being hacked.

Are you the one that created and manage this site, or is it being done by someone else?

I assumed that if he has a blog then he must have some content in it i have'nt looked at his site.

And Chad, other search engines are like google they like good quality fresh content
