Hi guys, My domain name is "aarkstore" and extension is ".com". When i search for the word "aarkstore", my domain is listed in the second page of google. Why is this hapenning?? I had heard with domain name of my company, it should come first, but all press sites, wordpress, etc are coming on 1st page. Has my site been penalised or so ?? Pls help guys
No your site is not penalized, you just need to continue build more links for your site and it will went to first page soon!
This is incorrect. Yes it is easier to rank your site on the first page of google if you have the keyword you are looking for in the url of the site. In your case aarkstore.com This is even more true for uncompetitive keywords. This is why your site is on page 2. To get your site on the first page of google, you need backlinks to your site.
There is no barrier b/w ur domain and google 1st page for the keyword "aarkstore"... you got a nice domain.. thats enough.. try to get some links with anchor text aarkstore.. thats enough..
Thanks all for your comments. Will definately heed your suggestions of building backlinks. In fact started to do that for sometime now.
since your domain name is containing the keyword aarkstore , it seems that its not a big deal to be on top . How much traffic you are getting for that keyword??
