puzzling google ranking Ok so i have been struggling to get a site ranked well in google.. google seems to HATE it. Now here's the key word "nitrous kits" when you query that you'll see zex STRONGLY come up first spot and always has. Zex appears to have 1 backlink and no pr? meanwhile the site I'm trying to rank has backlinks of 18 and a pr4 and does not even come up anywhere at all under anything.. lol What trickery is zex using?
Where did you check zex's PR and back links data? Google is showing PR5 and 177 backlinks for zex.com. High PR doesnt mean much.. You have to *get links from related sites *use keywords in anchor text *have keywords in title, description , content (On site SEO) etc etc. Difficult to say unless you show us your site.
Hmm i was using this tool http://www.lilengine.com/tools/backlinks-tool.php?q=nitrousdirect.com%0D%0Azex.com%0D%0Awww.slickcar.com%0D%0Awww.magnumforceracing.com&Submit=Get+Backlinks+Count"]http://www.lilengine.com/tools/backlinks-tool.php?q=nitrousdirect.com%0D%0Azex.com%0D%0Awww.slickcar.com%0D%0Awww.magnumforceracing.com&Submit=Get+Backlinks+Count Thanks for your time! When you say anchor text you mean in the link to my site, have it mention my keywords right?
Yes thats what I meant and you are using your keywords in the anchor text. lilengine.com's tool also shows 177 backlinks if you type "www.zex.com" but not for "zex.com" You can use the DP keywords tool to track your keywords. http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/ How old is your site...It is not showing in the search results for "nitrous kits"....possible case of sandbox. (Nitrousdirect.com is what I am talking about). Out of 18 links some are from your site itself and others are from irrelevant sites (mydatetonight.co.uk, mysilkweddingflowers.com, animalstyle.co.uk etc) Look at links of zex.com - racingheadservice.com, powerandperformancenews.com , fuelairspark.com , rsportscars.com etc ....so many relevant links...that makes a lot if difference. So to start with, you need MORE LINKS and LINKS FROM RELEVANT SITES. YOU NEED MORE LINKS + LINKS FROM RELEVANT SITES. There are lot of other things you can do... check out the different threads.. Here is one useful one: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=30373
So you'd go as far as to say i may still be sandboxed? It's over a year old. i have done everything from title and meta to alt tags, everything is static, I do know for a fact the site has other very valuable back links outy there and has for awhile but they are just not showing in google backlinks.. from ezine to forum sigs etc... i dunno what gives.. I appreciate u taking the time to help.. I'm really at a loss doesn't show under google for any search i can do <shrug> but yet it's there and fully indexed? Just used the keyword tracker.. jeeze i have no rank for anything in google for some odd reason.. site is over a year old.. and cleanly optimized what gives!
I agree Google isnt showing all the links - searching for term "nitrousdirect.com" gives 804 results - many of which are links to your site. You are at number 1 on msn for "nitrous kits" ; number 4 on Yahoo ; nowhere in Google. This may be a sign of sandbox ...but then I am no expert at SEO. I have added your site to my signature..lets see if that helps.
Thats' really cool of you, appreciate it.. Yeah that's what I was thinking WELL indexed everywhere else.. not spammy.. think the site is fairly well layed out title, meta, h1's, little content, keyword density etc..just not sure why it won't show other than the "sandbox".. i have made some further changes to the site to try and help waiting for it to get indexed again, did a sitemap too .. also trying to get "nitrous oxide" Also how do you suppose the terribly non content non meta'd nothing but zex for a title nailed down nitrous kits and nitrous oxide? what tricks are they using? Also side note.. just saw a referer from "nx kits" on meta crawler which said i was in google too, checked google google.com/search?hl=en&q=nx+kits&btnG=Google+Search and i am 3rd from the bottom.. the onyl thing i have ever seen me come in google.. and nothing was done really at all to get that it's mentioned twice i think and not even as a complete phrtase in keywords or descrip... just very confusing.. also what's with my listing being the only one on that age with a time next to the title.. where is that coming from?
Hey guys in looking into it more.. i really believe I'm Severely sandboxed for some reason! Site is well over a year, and i feel is WELL optimized with nothing hokey, nothing hidden etc.. lots of pages, directly what it should be for the terms nitrous kits or nitrous oxide but i can't even find a return in google at all under those keywords.. what gives? meanwhile other sites that are far worse come up in top 10.. have i been penalized? PLEASE help.. i REALLY need google trafic url is nitrousdirect.com
