Google hates my site - Keyword frequency the problem?

    Hi,
    I recently checked www.rankwhere.com for my site using the H... keyword (from signature) and found that I am ranked No.1 for every search engine on there except for Google. According to the digital point tools I am not even in the top 200 :(

    I find it odd at how I have never really ranked well (below 50) in Google yet normally do fairly well in the other search engines.
    The other odd thing is that my page rank has gone up to four which means Google is taking into account all of the backlinks I have tried to get yet won't boost my SERP.

    What should I concentrate on in order to improve my SERP? I was thinking using CSS for the layout so that the body text to HTML ratio improves because I use a lot of tables in the layout which could be avoided.

    Does anybody else have a similar experience with Google?

    I am in the same boat for http://www.carrollcommunications.com/ I am starting to get decent traffic from MSN and Yahoo so I am hesitant to do too much other than more links.

    I have read that Google likes a lower keyword density than Yahoo. As the old saying goes, "No man can serve two masters."

    As said the last few days it looks like Yahoo is showing Google results and to me MSN beta looks a lot like Google in my area so who knows what tomorrow brings.

    I have noticed that yahoo and MSN are ranking me faster and faster; however, google isn't.

    Since the start google has had me at 60-70

    I have noticed that google spiders 1 time a day. Never changes.

    MSN and YAHOO are starting to him more often and am ranked #1 with them.

    How much weight does google put on how old a domain name is?

    I have experienced the same sort of thing with Google in that I can not break past this range.

    My pages are dynamic and generate new content when I update the database obviously but I never actually touch the file itself.
    Prior to modifying the actual file I found that I didn't have a top 200 SERP in Google but after modifying the file I found I went back to my 60-70, guess it pays to update your site :eek:
