Ok so ive been working on a keyword domain and for the exact keyword searched through google and im not ranking within the top 100 pages for this exact keyword even though its in my domain? Am i missing something here? Its in my meta keywords and everything. Im not a noob to seo ive been doing pretty well from reading the stuff ive learned over at grizzs blog and over here at dp.
is the keyword mentioned in the title tags? meta description tags? do you have the keyword within you content? finally and most importantly, are you getting links back to your site with the keyword in a contextual link?
its a wordpress blog with title tags, its also in the meta keyword tags ive got all in seo plugin for wordpress. does not rank
Getting rankings will mostly come down to getting quality backlinks with that phrase as your link anchor text. You basically need a better link profile than the websites already ranking for that phrase. You do not automatically rank well for a keyword just because it is in your domain. You have to prove that you are relevant in other ways.
Type in "miserable failure" in Yahoo, and you will see the biography of former President Bush ranked first place. That is the power of anchor text links. There are so many anchor text links that say "miserable failure" directing to George W. Bush that it made it number one. You need to work on your keywords.
Start by Blogging, and write articles and press releases and distribute them with reputable agencies. Don't forget to include the keywords you would like to be found under. This will increase your chances of getting higher rankings. Also give it some time. If you need more info, please visit my website
I absolutely agree...If the keyword is highly competitive, then just having the same in your domain name would not be enough to give you good serps. You probably need to put in lot more effort to beat the competition. Regards, RightMan
