8000 word blog post. No sign of it in the serps

Word count has nothing to do with rankings. Either does shares. And most of what SEO Yoast tells you is fairly useless too.

You have 2 links and poor site structure. There is no reason for Google to rank that page.

Add your site in google webmaster tools!This will help you on ranking and indexing.
Why i say this ?I encounted the same problem with a blog,google was indexed very poor,just 40 pages from over 300 and was on page 10 on google for my keywords.At one week after added it to webmaster tools the results was very good!All pages was indexed and was taked a good position on page 2.

You can use Google Submit URL! You will see that URL showing in the SERPS and this will help you on ranking and indexing.

You seem overly optimistic about the opportunities on the internet, do another article every day for the next 3 years, promote them as well, and you might get some rankings.

You are indexed at least.

The page is indexed (1st screenshot below).

Your internal link anchor-text isn't really optimized for your target keyword starting a restaurant (2nd screenshot below). A few of those anchor-text are from the same internal pages.

Look at your backlink profile & figure out your strongest pages on your site, add optimized internal links pointing at your new webpage.

According to your post's title, 8,000 words. Is that true, or just a typo error? If that is true, in my opinion, that's too many for a blog post!

Whether or not your blog post was 8000 words or 200 words has literally no relevance in determining how fast it will rank for any particular set of keywords. Don't ever think more words is better for traffic or backlinks.

An article with 500 words of detailed and intriguing content will get you much further than 8000 words of redundancy any day.

Plus were these social shares purchased or willingly shared by people who are interested in your content?

If you are just simply looking to index your content using social bookmarks, social shares, and blog comments is a easy way to do so.

The idea behind this kind of article is nothing new. I guess one of the points was to write something so good that the guys who you interviewed wanted to link back from their more authoritative blogs. Hard to say if that's happened, but OP should definitely ping them all to let them know that the piece exists.

I wonder why you complaining about not ranked yet or get traffic
your page takes 11 seconds to complete load on my pc (i have 4mb line speed)
also your page score is too bad and you have many external files above-the-fold

Word count is not only the factor that google use for ranking. You have to give some new ideas or new things to the visitors in a attractive way.That will definitely help share your content via social networking sites and get backlinks from authority sites.As well as it will increase the site duration time and reduce the bounce rate. This will good indication to the google where people like this content.

I would say first and foremost if this came across my desk as a whole, I would have split it up. you HAD the potential for some great content and basically blew it.

in terms of SEO there are a few blaring factors that are probably hurting you in one way or another. #1 would be the URL itself. If you look at the top 10 listings and page 2 and going into page 3 the term "Restaurant" is in none of the domain names ( the exception being about.com and that's another ball game ) the exact match URL is sitting at position 38 if that says anything

The next question is there anything you have written for this site that has ranked? #2 I would suggest that the text color and the background color are probably to close and that would be a negative factor.

#3 are you aware you do not a have a page designated for your homepage restaurantauctionslist.com? Yeah that would be a big no no

#4 the load time is not all that good.. I might suggest down right bad, even loading the page back to back it sucked

#1 and #3 are killers... and #4 and #3 are salt on the wound let alone all of the other factors here. I am guessing thank god for social? WOW
