When you go onto google search engine and type "Fitness Regiment", because my site is "www.fitnessregiment.com", it redirects you to "Fitness Regimen", and my site does not come up on the first page... This is highly annoying as over 1900 people google it monthly and it blocks out a big chunk of natural traffic. This is a huge problem as my site just doesn't come up when you google it. Regiment is a real word, so is Fitness.. However because there is a site called fitnessregimen I don't come up.. What can I do!?
Regimen is a word to! Noun A prescribed course of medical treatment, way of life, or diet for the promotion or restoration of health. It might not be good for you and your site but until someone types the T when they get to the N of regimen "instant" will show what is relevant to what has been typed so far, well in theory - so we are led to believe... You can't really do a lot about it other than get something "fitness regimen" of course...
You misunderstand. Even if they type "Fitness Regiment", with the t. Google will not show search results for "Fitness Regiment", it will immediately redirect them to "Fitness Regimen" and also say (Did you mean Fitness Regimen) (Showing search results for Fitness Regimen)... Even though they typed Fitness Regiment.
Not for me it doesn't it shows FitnessRegiment.co.uk as #1 with 6 site links presently counted beneath main first link. If you have the dot com and are not getting sitelinks or first position then Goolge doesn't like your site as much as it could.
Because Google is smart and knows most of those 1900 people who typed "Regiment" made a typo or simply do not know that the correct word is "Regimen". So in essence you are trying to rank for a common misspelling of the word and by doing that you will always be swimming upstream and fighting Google's natural tendency to correct common mistakes people make.
It's not a mispelling though... I actually meant it to be Fitness Regiment. I was basing it on "Regiment" being a military theme.... Damn, now i'm doomed because of stupid auto correct. Do I have to get a new domain?
Right, that is why is sucks for you. Since the phrase as commonly used is "Fitness Regimen", even though you want to be "Fitness Regiment" Google is going to assume that most people are searching for the far more common or normal usage and thus offer them those results. Google knows almost nobody would actually be searching for "Fitness Regiment". Google, from their huge data pool, knows that people who type in fitness regiment most times actually want fitness regimen and so that is what they are going to deliver. You can try to make your term something that people actually try and look for but you are not going to have much luck I would imagine.
