Why some sites doesn't get ranked in Google but in Bing and Yahoo
-
Few of my sites e.g. Business-Training-Schools.com and Ultrasoundtechnicians.com doesnt get much visits from Google but these sites get top ranked in Bing and Yahoo. I have tried searching for answer to these question but i did not find anything convincing.

Google uses a different algorithm to calculate rankings than Bing and Yahoo (Yahoo is now powered by Bing so both will always give the same results).
While the many factors that both Bing and Google take into account might be similar they are not identical. What might get you hit with a Google penalty (and see your site wiped off the SERP map in Google) might have no effect in Bing.
Here's a handy infographic from pentonmarketingservices.com on the differences between the two. Of course, the differences between the two are always changing as Google constantly brings out new updates:

I wouldn't worry about it, no one uses Bing or Yahoo!!

I am relatively new to SEO. But different search engines use different ranking factors into their mix. So what might work for a search engine might not convince the other SE.
Your strategy should be aligned with your Traffic SEO Objetives,
I personally would relocate my SEO Efforts towards Google, because its high volume of traffic, in order to meet your objectives.
I have a similar situation but in the reverse order. I am well ranked in Google, but i am in the dumper for Bing, and mediocre in Yahoo. However, the traffic that i get from Google is very high and meets my SEO Objetives.
Hopefully my comments were of some help!!
Thanks for sharing your situation,
Regards!

Google Cache
So, when I gain a link I always check to see if the page that is linking is in the Google cache. I've noticed recently that more and more pages are actually not showing up in Google's cache, yet still appear in search results. I did read an article from someone whoo works at Google a few weeks back that there is sometimes an error with the cache and occasionally the cache will not display. This week, my own website isn't showing up in the cache yet I'm still ranking in SERP's. I'm not worried about it, mostly whitehat, but has there been any indication that Google are phasing out the ability to check cache's of websites?

Website's server IP address is redirected to blog by mistake; does Google responds?
Hi all, Our website's server IP address is set to be redirected to our blog by mistake and it stayed same for months. Is there any way Google recognises it and how it responds if so? Thanks

Does Google considers the cached content of a page if it's redirected to new page?
Hi all, If we redirect an old page to some new page, we know that content relevancy between source page and this new page matters at Google. I just wonder if Google is looking at the content relevancy of old page (from cache) and new page too. Thanks

Can anyone suggests a new tool that will give accurate search volume on google ( country specific ) I am not interest in info for adwords, and find a keyword planner tool way out in traffic results, compared to Keyword tool. Is the keyword tool completely gone?

Ranking well for main key terms but site traffic has dropped sharply?
Hello All, Just a quick question. Since the penguin update our site www.caravanguard.co.uk has seen some pretty fluctuating movement in Google, many of our key terms dropped over night, but over the last few weeks they have slowly started to move back up the rankings. The bizarre thing is despite the recover in rankings our unique traffic has taken a fairly large whack in numbers. Seasonality? Weather? ( it's been nice in the UK for a change) I can only assume the longer tail terms are taking more time to recover. I have tried to look into our back link profile and have noticed a little too much in terms concise keyword targeting, How do you go about changing these terms and removing the really bad links (struggling to identify the worst cases) on totally irrelevant sites or poor directories. Put in place before I started here 🐵 Any help truly appreciated. Regards Tim

Rankings drop, but only one term
Has anyone experienced a significant drop on just one term? I have about 10 terms that I am constantly monitoring and 9 out of 10 are unchanged or even improved, but 1 term was #1 and is now #11. Curious if anyone has experienced anything similar. I originally thought it was "Panda", but why wouldn't all my terms be affected??
