Hi Guys, I am new to this program and am probably making a stupid mistake, but for some reason my keywords don't ever get anything other than N/A. For example, if I put "search engine" with URL http://google.com I get N/A. This also happens for the site I am trying monitor: kumsheen.com "river rafting british columbia" with URL http://kumsheen.com again receives N/A even though when I search on google it is ranked number three. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thankyou, -Steve
Take out http:// from the URLs. Or if you do want to specify the full URL, make sure it matches what is in Google. For example http://www.google.com (notice the www). - Shawn
and if you miss high rankings post again and i email you a detailed recommendation-reort ( or post here if welcome ) i made this mornig for a friend in italy .. because it appears to me that you titles are far toooooo long (8 too many words ) to give high rankings in relevant quiries .. like the domain start page <title>Kumsheen Whitewater River Rafting BC, Summer Camp, Family Adventure Vacation, Vancouver Canada</title> is far too long to get a topo ten rank except inf little or no competition .. usually its far better to split you site into small sements ( may be a page of content similar to one legal size paper .. limited to one very precise topic ... with just a few keywords and all around that service or product .. it almost surely puts you in top ten o rtop 1-3 in most relevand searches ... then group pages into THEMES linked to each other .. to make it a complete topic and put one such topic in a separate folder using same name as keywords --->> Yahoo will love that as it uses also strings in URLs .. because a google query Rafting Adventures Whitewater site:www.kumsheen.com shows that all pages have very long title tags and if you look at what people use as quieries in wordtracker http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/?keywords=rafting then you see several possible titles for each page and if you edit / construct a content and info rich short page around that title its almost sure to put you high up in google like: whitewater rafting or white water rafting see the difference - totally different users will find either the page whitewater or white water rafting - so you may try to combine BOTH into one page .. in description tag, H1 and H2 titles .. and text and in a seperate page about the location you may again mention kunsheen ( if that is the location name .. ... please let me knwo if it help or if u need more info whats your ranking in USED queries now and do you have several pages highly ranked ?
Thanks digitalPoint it works now, I knew it was some little thing I was overlooking. Hi Hans, I agree with you, except I built a CMS for this client and he edits the titles and meta tags himself. Although I don't agree with his use of titles for many reasons, they seem to be doing quite well in Google. Many of our target keywords are in the top ten results.
