Google not showing the love!?

    I found this forum while trying to improve my AdSense performance, but I'll admit I really need to work on content and SEO, so I started really looking at where my traffic comes from. Granted I don't get much right now, but it's all exclusively from Yahoo and MSN. I'm ranked pretty high in many of those searches, and I can see most of my pages are listed in the results.

    BUT when I type my URL into Google, I only see one entry and it's not even at the top! Go figure. First, am I missing something in just getting my pages into Google?

    Of course the optimization is a whole nuther question, but for now I'd just be happy to see my sites listed.

    Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The URLs are:

    superbowlticketsecrets.com (mainly a sales page for oen of my ebooks)
    sportsticketsecrets.com (mainly content I've written, but only update yearly)

    Thanks again!
    Jeff

    Just from a few quick searches it looks like you need to work on backlinks.

    Looks like you have some from MSN, but zero from yahoo and google.

    I did some research on Google and seem they consider one of my sites a mirror because of some other sites that have my articles! How is this possible?

    I also added a sitemap thing so hopefully I'll start seeing some traffic from Google some day.

    Also, how do I find high PR sites within the same subject as my site?

    Thanks,
    Jeff
