My site http://www.thekillbilldiary.com is #1 in google and yahoo for (the kill bill diary), however they do not rank for (kill bill diary) what would you reccomend? Perhaps a subdomain that clones the home page such as killbilldiary.thekillbilldiary.com and then seo it for the words Kill Bill Diary? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Sadly its not ranked on msn yet but the spider has visited.
You are #1 for your domain name, that's pretty common. The fact that you don't show up for other competitive phrases is a sign that you are experiencing the sandbox effects. You can still come up for long tail searches. But to get that, you still need to get some quality and relevant links. So, you are still sandboxed
Umm...are you sure about that? I have never heard of Google liking new sites, not one person with a new site gets ranked #1 unless of course your targetting keyword was abc123wwwgggeeefff If google loved new sites then there would be no sandbox and everyone wouldnt be complaining why they didnt rank well after 4 months.
