SEO Indexing Issue

11 years 9 months ago

Hi, I think there maybe some problems with allowing search engines to index FTH websites.

When I type into Google "Toastmasters Hoboken" I get the following results:
1) FTH milesquare.org
2) Facebook mile square toastmaster page

However in Yahoo, when typing the same phrase:
1) Facebook miles square toastmasters
... FTH not even on page 1.

Can you please investigate?

Thanks,
Dennis

One follow-up, when looking at the robots.txt, I wonder if it has to do with the wildcard rule you have: milesquare.org/robots.txt


User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Crawl-delay: 30

Hope this helps,
Dennis

1) your site description and keywords should contain the words people are going to search for.

2) the text on your home page should contain the words that attract people. Who, what when where, why and how.

if i search for toastmasters Hoboken, NJ you are number 1 on google, as that is what you have in your diescription, keywords and texgton home page.
Thank you,

My issue is not with Google, it is with Yahoo search. There is no reason that we should not be showing up on page 1 of Yahoo. I think there is a larger issue with the robots.txt
