SEO confusion?

Hello, we have two websites created and online with EasyWeb and the EasyWeb hosting account: vocal-affairs.de and singkehlchen.de Now, I tried a search with bing and found that when I search for singkehlchen, it shows the following: It seems like the SEO combined and confused the two websites. Note: there's no information at all on the vocal-affairs site (at least not in EasyWeb) that is related to singkehlchen. Nothing. Nada. So why is this happening? ------------------------------- Darian new to web design ______________________ My websites: <b>Vocal Affairs</b> // <b>Singkehlchen</b> |

It is very important to understand how search engines work when dealing with situations like this. Search engines do their best to provide users with results the user is hoping to find. This doesn't always work out though. In your case, Bing is showing vocal-affairs.de for the search term 'singkehlchen' . But why? In your search result, you can see that the description for vocal-affairs.de says "Copyright (c) 2013 by Singkehlchen Lorem Ipsum.." This now makes more sense as to why vocal-affairs.de is appearing for this search term. Bing has found this exact term on the vocal-affairs.de site! Another important thing to consider is that search engines do not update in real time, meaning a change made to your site by you will not be reflected in a search result right away. In fact, this can take several weeks to update. So to summarize, vocal-affairs.de appeared for the search term 'singkehlchen' because 'singkehlchen' appeared on that site. If 'singkehlchen' has been removed from that site, you most likely will lose the rankings for it. Evenutally, singkehlchen.de should rank for that search term. But don't bank on ranking highly just because the term is in the domain. If that is the search term you are targeting for the website, make sure it appears in various places on that page/site (title tag, description, headers, image file names, etc.) Hope this helps. |

[quote="Jeremy":3nqj02a2]Bing has found this exact term on the vocal-affairs.de site![/quote:3nqj02a2] It can't because the term never (!) existed on the vocal-affairs.de site because vocal-affairs has nothing to do with singkehlchen. It's a mystery to me, how bing mixed this up, or why. ------------------------------- Darian new to web design ______________________ My websites: <b>Vocal Affairs</b> // <b>Singkehlchen</b> |

Did you upload a sitemap.xml for both the sites and enter them into Bing? You really need to have accounts with the major search engines - not just Google - and go through the verification and sitemap deal with them when you start a new site. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

No accounts, no sitemap.xml. I don't even know how to get a sitemap.xml or how to go through the verification and site map deal with search engines.

I use Rage's Sitemap Automator to create and upload sitemaps. Once you have entered a site into the search engines for the first time, the app will notify them of updates with one button click. More info and how to submit to Yahoo and Bing ... http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Sitemap.html ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
