hi i opened a t-shirts shop 3 months ago. big-t-shirts.com at start i aimed at big sizes (up to 8xl) and very quicly arrived to 4th places on google on some keywords (big t-shirts, large etc ...). which i consider a success. but then i decided to change the focus of the shop to more general term like "t-shirts", and i'm not in the first 1000 results. (yes, 1000 !). does anybody have an idea why google ignores my shop for the term "t-shirts" ? have i done something wrong? it has h1, tytles. alt's, etc. it has quality incoming links (pr3 & 4) that google ignores. it's pr3 i know it's a young shop and not a lot of incoming links yet, but not in the first 1000?, have i done something wrong that i'm being punished for? this kind of a shop cannot exist if it's not on google. please, any help will be appreciated thanks lenny
t-shirts is too vague and too competitive a term. When you narrowed it down to large t-shirts, you made a good move, go back to that.
There is too much competition for the term t-shirt. You are probably better off to target specific keywords like you were doing before.
Even targeting "big t-shirts" or "large t-shirts" is very competitive. Its going to take a ton of work to pull in targeted traffic from those keywords organically.
