Hi, I'm a newbie so sorry if I made stupid mistakes trying to learn as better as possible. my site is www.theloansdirectory.com do you think it will be good ranked in the search engines? thanks
You're gonna be fighting an uphill battle with those keywords. Ok, some tips. Your adsense placement is fine. If you want more hits, you should have a description for each category. Also, use the phpdirectory mod rewrite for better urls. Remove the pagerank feature because your server is not being allowed by google to check it. Change the colors of your site at least so it looks different, get a nice logo. Get some content on your site, maybe add a blog feature and make a post or two every week about something financial related and link to places in your directory where poeople coming to find that article can place their sites into your directory.
loans, mortgages, credit cards, credit report, debt consolidation, banking services Are you being found under those key words? if not, it's not optimised enough, if you are being found...then it is. Are you listed in the search engines?
actually my site was not ranked on google yet, since it has less than 1 week anyway I sent articles away, linked to some directories, when do you think I will have some results?
When it's shows up in the search results..is the best answer I can produce. then you'll be able to see how much work your in for. But until then it's a waiting game. Good luck
I learned from sachin that you should write your targeted keywords in the anchor links to get high rankings. So you can optimize your signature right now
difficult question, my first site was created before Google was started and the second site a few years afterwords, never paid attention when it show up in the listings. So were talking 7 - 8 years ago, when things were different. You could get listed almost instantly on infoseek, but their gone or turned into Go.com. You'll just have to be patient and wait.
