    My main pergola page is not even being ranked for some reason. It was 2 weeks ago and now it is gone? My content is better then the everyone before me which is why i don't understand why I am not moving up...

    You are on second page with the keyword Tulsa Pergolas i think you just need more Strong backlinks from trusted sites and it will be a matter of days when you are on page 1

    I have already been on page 1 before and 4th down from the top. Now my main pergola page is not even being ranked anymore which is the reason why I pose the question.

    I did a samurai on it (keyword research tool) Tulsa Pergolas 11th pos and Tulsa Pergola 9th pos for YOURURL/pergolas/midge/
    for broad match. For phrase match it doesn't show up in the top 1000 on Google.

    The sites at the top are government sites and have a lot of back-links from government sites to their domains, however not many to the pages.
    You would also need to do on page optimisation. Your title, header, meta description and meta tags are not configured for the keywords.

    For instance the phrase "tulsa pergola" does not appear anywhere in your text.

    Your site is more optimised for tulsa woodscapes. So needs a bit of work to get it ranking for the other phrase.

    I have no idea, that's completely ridiculous, number 1 on page 1 only has 7 backlinks and 3 pages while you have almost 4,000 backlinks to your home page. Granted it's a page on your site that is ranking for that keyword rather than your homepage but still. I guess you could try building some backlinks for that specific page? It seems pretty crazy to me.

    Agreed. You have in your keywords "kids playhouses" for example. Are you REALLY targetting all people looking for "kids playhouses"? If not, take it out of your keywords! You have WAY too many keywords that aren't specific in there.

    Your website has zero backlinks in Google. You cannot count any links based on Yahoo Siteexplorer unless you are optimizing website for Yahoo. How many links you have in Google Webmaster Tools?

    Okay, I understand this aspect and honestly I am targeting local customers only. So being more specific with my keywords help in local ranking?

    You should optimize for google maps, there are plenty of services for registering your business street address in google maps. Google "google maps optimization" or "google local optimization". If done right you can get google to list your site in the top results with a map, street address and phone number all on the results page. If you check out google local, you can even do it yourself.

    Go get em

    Yeah, it will. Just keep everything on topic just in slightly different ways, G will find out the rest.

    If you're link building you will see your site jumping up rank, but also sliding for a while too.
    Be patient keep working hard on seo and I'm sure you'll reach your goals. Get good quality, relevant backlinks

    A small trick to rank fast... Just write a big content (around 2000 words) and stuff some keywords then and there... bold and italic the keywords... bookmark the post... thats it within 1 week you will be in top 5 position....
