Hi All! I am new to this forum. Just a quick one about Google. I run a business that offers advanced driving courses. My keyword which works for me is "advanced driving course" not surprisingly! On this keyword the homepage is at bottom of page 1 on google, but the actual page which has the advanced courses on is http://www.driversdomainuk.com/advanced-driver/advanced-courses.shtml and is on page 3. Any tips on how I can use, what I think are good rankings to get higher up. We focus on producing quality information to enable out visitors to get a good idea about advanced driving and how it can help then, as opposed to just being a commercial site - which I think helps... Thanks in advance Rob
I would add content to at least the home page, not a major addition, but some. I'd also focus on getting a couple of links from high quality related sites. Again, I wouldn't over do it and I certainly would not buy them. Good unique content will bring natural links. That's what you want. /*tom*/
Thanks Tom, I know inb ound links are the key, but how is the best way to do this without having to link back to them...
In order to boost the rankings of the homepages or some of the internal sections of the sites, adding relevant and useful contents and also links would be the key.
When Google picks your landing page, it happens very often that your desired landing page is not what Google picks. Your home page often comes up at the top for the keywords which you have on other pages. If you are really want to google list your landing page, instead of the home page, you should try building links to that landing page. This will give you a better chance to have your landing page ranked high.
thanks - but Google is indexing the landing page - albeit on page 3 Do you think there is much work involved to get homepage at top of page 1, bearing in mind it is already at bottom of page 1..?
are you meaning making a copy of the home page, calling it something else, and then link to the actual home page..... is this not a bit black hat or have I got it totally wrong....?
Write articles and come out with a press release at prlog.org. Your goal in order to get to number one is to have a lot of high quality backlinks, and also have a good amount of content on your page. Try free blogs at blogger.com, vox.com, blogsome.com, etc. These will help you build your backlinks. You also need to make sure that the content you post on those is good and offers value.
Articles and creating 2 blogs is what we have done to work on our main site. It seems to be working! Good advice above.
