I'm starting to get annoyed now, im trying to get my inner page listed for 'creatine side effects' the page is creatinejournal.com/creatine-supplement-creatine-side-effects/ now i look at the competitions pages compared to mine, some pages have less than 100 links while mine has over 4000 Whats wrong with it ? I mean im not even listed for the term yet
You seem to have that article on a few free article sites. Its quite possible that Google thinks that the free article site is the writer of the article and your site just ripped it. Google usually only lists the site which it thinks had the article first.
yes true. If the free sites have a better page rank than you then its likely that Google is treating your sites as duplicate content! Crazy i know!
Yeah Google would think that i've ripped it, but surely i have way more links than them so it would seem it is my content, right?
your backlinking webpages are still linking to you? these backlinks are from relevant content webpages? If all is yes Then wait little more and keep on adding quality inbound links otherwise concentrate on above two points.
I usually wait for a week or two before submitting my article anywhere else. That way the Googlebot comes around and knows I posted the story first and that im the originator.
How long have you had creatinejournal.com? Aside from that if you submitted the article to the free article submission (for backlinks i expect) then there is not much that you can do. Try writing another and waiting a couple weeks before you submit it...
The links and every thing could be a problem as other people are mentioning.. but IMO, your URL is a bit over-optimized. You're using the word cretatine 3 times in one URL! creatinejournal.com/creatine-supplement-creatine-side-effects/ I mean it would have been less spammy if you had used some URL like: creatinejournal.com/side-effects/ creatinejournal.com/supplement-side-effects/ creatinejournal.com/creatine-side-effects/ The max was to use the KW twice. I dont understand why youre using it thrice. Maybe this 'over-optimization' is causing the problem.
first ; your url is too long you may use shorter url. second ; how people are linking to your site? i think you must check these two points
You are still experiencing the sandbox effect. Keep working on making your article unique, well formatted, keep adding links from relevant sites with relevant anchor text, etc.
Many site owners and SEOs are worried because their new sites that rank well in Yahoo and MSN, aren't doing well in Google, and they're blaming it on the "sandbox." And is only theory is that new sites are somehow being penalized for obtaining too many links, too quickly. Is There a Sandbox? Is there some sort of link analysis going on; some sort of threshold that will get links to new sites discounted? It sounds like a logical possibility. However, many of us who don't buy volume links or participate in linking networks are seeing the same ranking delays. New resource sites with a few good relevant links are taking just as long to climb Google's ranks as the instant link pop sites. I think a lot of people are confusing the sandbox, with an "aging filter" that appeared earlier this year. If you have a brand-new web site, don't worry about this behavior. You are not doing anything wrong. Google seems to delay the inclusion of new web sites. This phenomenon is called the Google sandbox. * The sandbox is only theory is that new sites are somehow being penalized for obtaining too many links, too quickly. It can not be proven, it only theory that it.
So if you submitted a press release and hundreds of sites picked it up within a few days, then google would penalize you?
Nah man, thousands and thousands of links popping up in a couple of days - then maybe it'd look shady.. I've done general link building, nothing blackhat here, so maybe i'll just have to continue what im doing. Just submitted some articles via isnare, so maybe that'll get me ranked
kevinn This not what I stated. Not all links are counted by Google. For instance, they filter out links from known link farms. Some links can cause a site to be penalized by Google. They rightly figure that webmasters cannot control which sites link to their sites, but they can control which sites they link out to. For this reason, links into a site cannot harm the site, but links from a site can be harmful if they link to penalized sites. So be careful which sites you link to. I seen website take a year to get listed NOTE: Register your site every 3 - 4 weeks or when you make significant changes to your site. NOTE: If your website has not been designed for maximum search engine appeal, then the chances of it receiving a high ranking are very small. It is wise to evaluate your Meta Tags and content before submitting to the major search engines. Some search engine take time to be listed. Google and like many other search engines do not index all your pages.
