site not on 1st place when searching for it

I have that problem..

my website is not on the first place (as it should be normally) when i search for it with the query "xxxxxxx.com".

Why does this happen?

I read somewhere that this is because of the non-www domain added to google.

Anyone with an idea?

 

There are so many different reasons, why not provide us with the URL so we can look into it.

 

Is it new site ?
As ssandecki said provide us with the URL so we can look into it.

 

the url is olympicbeijing2008games.com


it is new site

 

its probably because you post your domain in other sites that has better SERP than you have... but its wierd i tried to search your domain with "www" i cant find it...

 

How old is your site?

 

Most likely when that happens there is a Google penalty.

 

Can you tell us what kind of penalty this is?

I have the same problem with one of my sites.

 

It's hard to tell, but let me ask you this.
Were you ranking for any keywords? And if so did you drop from position 60+ spots?

 

penalty?
i don't know... i had penalty, but removed the suspicious links and they brought it back.

I think it is because google indexed the www of the site, lately.
I will leave it like that for some time to see what will happen.

Later i may redirect the non-www to www with 301

I have seen other people talking about this and they say they didn't lost traffic and ranking because of this.

 

This happens to some of my sites too. This is especially true for when a site is rather new. Simply your site hasn't been indexed as much as sites that link to it, and sites that link to it have better SERPs for a while for that "keyword" (I use the term keyword reluctantly here).

 

You lack backlinks. Get a handful from PR4+ sites and that's a tip of confidence to your way.

 

If its a new site don't worry,

keep on building it and within the next 2-3 months it will probably rank better

 

thanks guys, i will keep on adding it to directories.

 

Add more thousands of backlinks to your site.

 

I think your domain is new. You should wait few days then it will come up in the first position.

 

Nice name, but be careful with TM issues. The olympics committee doesn't take too lightly with such issues.

 

its so common for a new site..

 

It's a new website, don't worry just give it some time to get a trust value for the domain and then you will rank again.

 

wow dude... "Olympics 2008" is one of the highest paying keyword nowadays.
