I'm giving up on google!

THAT'S IT.. I'VE HAD ENOUGH After months and months and months of optimisation, link building etc I can't get my website anywhere near the top 150 for our main keywords. (top 5 on MSN, Live, Yahoo both UK and Globally)

Any tips or the telephone number for a good councillor anyone?

 

I wouldn't give up...Keep plugging along. If they ever fix their indexing issues you may find all your hard work paid off.

 

Hope so, all the allin queries point to having top 10 positions, and last month we were on the second page for a number of days, but now 185th place and plunging Although the web traffic isn't critical there has been a definite downturn in enquiries due to this.

 

Keep the chin up buddy. We are all in the same boat with toothpicks for oars!!

 

Cheers... I sometimes wish g**gle would just disappear.. Thanks to everyone on this site though for a lot of tips that have helped get the site to the top of yahoo and msn.

 

Hi Pos,

I run a pretty large SEO company, if you want any advice etc then just pm with an e-mail, number etc and the site your trying to optimise with the keywords aligned to it.

 

In the UK Google has a 75% market share, Yahoo has about 8% as does MSN. If you do business online in the UK you can't ignore it.

How long has the site been online? Whats the url? What keywords are you targetting?

 

"Toothpicks for oars" ... *chortle*

 

I know it has 75% market share, that's what makes it all the more frustrating! The website has been up for years before I joined the company, we've changed hosts but the domain's the same.

url = www . poslogistics . co . uk

main search word is epos software

Yahoo 1st + 2nd Place
MSN 3rd + 4th Place
LIVE 5th + 6th Place
Altavista 1st + 2nd Place

Google : 184th place (slight improvement!)

Any help appreciated

 

the sea's made of syrup as well!

 

Well, I don't have time to give a full SEO analysis but it looks like you aren't utilizing a site map...Any reason for that?

 

lol... yes I am. There's one linked from the about us page + there's an up to date google sitemap xml file.

 

Does that mean one should not take any actions.. keep a lul!
I dont find ur suggestion very interesting!

 

and I redirect to the sitemap page for any errors.

 

I saw another stats, MSN is a leader in UK, then goes google and yahoo.
In some researches about a half of year ago.

 

90% of the traffic we get is from google, but that's adwords and doesn't generate much.

 

And I don't find you very interesting...so there

 

Just backlinks won't work! Is your page designed to meet google standards ?
Do you link to unwanted places ? Spammy neighbourhoods!
This will hurt your site if you do!
Irrelevant outbound links are not good too! Are your links proper/come from relevant pages?

*edit* Didnt read the line where you posted your link! Will PM you the analysis in sometime

 

I've read the google webmasters guides and believe the site meets the requirements. We don't link to any spammy neighbours, only a few outbound links that aren't totally irrelevant.

 

It's strange that it isn't even indexed:
