Hello,

Two years ago, my dating sites got indexed and traffic more on Google. However, my dating websites got more indexed on Yahoo, but not on Google.

I learned from this forum about this method. I have been using the same strategy by adding new articles to my sites and linking some keywords to it.

For example: when I write a 500 words article and post it to my site blog, I usually make 3 links to promote my sites. I write an article every 2 or 3 weeks. I use keywords such as "black dating" or "black singles", etc.

At the same time, I write a different article and post it to Ezine or other article directories, every 2 or 3 weeks.

Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with my strategy?

Thanks.

A likely cause of being visible in Yahoo/Bing but not Google is a Google-specific indexing or quality signal — not a general “search engine” problem. Yahoo results have long been supplied by Bing, so differences between Google and Yahoo/Bing are common. The right diagnosis combines crawl checks, index status and a hard look at on-site quality and your backlink profile.

Common diagnostic checklist:

  • Run a site:example.com query to see what Google reports indexed and compare counts to Yahoo/Bing.
  • Inspect Google Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools): Coverage, Manual Actions, Security issues and the URL Inspection tool for representative pages.
  • Verify robots.txt, meta robots (noindex), and rel="canonical" aren't accidentally blocking or canonicalizing pages away.
  • Check server responses and logs for blocked or rate-limited Googlebot and for lots of 3xx/4xx/5xx errors.
  • Check for duplicate or thin content (article-directory copies, identical profile pages) and for an unnatural link profile (heavy exact-match anchors from directories like Ezine).

Targeted fixes and priorities:

  • Remove or consolidate duplicate content and add unique, useful content on profile and landing pages so pages earn editorial links.
  • Stop relying on low-value article-directory links; diversify referral sources and anchor text, and only use disavow after documented removal attempts.
  • Keep a clean canonical strategy and consistent HTTP(S) hosting; submit an up-to-date XML sitemap to Search Console but treat it as a signal, not a cure.
  • After fixes, use URL Inspection / Fetch as Google to request reindexing and monitor Coverage and Crawl stats.

This builds on points from and (focus on real visitors and content), and / (use webmaster tools and sitemaps) but adds the diagnostics and backlink-quality checks that are most often the real reason Google withholds indexing.

You are too focused on satisfying search engines rather than your Internet visitor.

There's nothing wrong with your strategy: every little bit helps. However, a few links from your blog here and there aren't going to make or break your Google traffic. Follow good SEO practices, and of course continue to build a backlink profile, but also work on building content on your site.

Good luck.

Have you check your Google webmaster tool?
Maybe you should update your content and create articles more often, like 3 articles per week.
