Hi, i noticed that one of my sites has no rank at all in almost all keywords in Google. I thought my site is placed in Google Sandbox (my domain's age is only 2 months old) but now I realized that my site has almost no rank at all in Google. I often check my Google webmaster central and see where is my site in some "weird" keywords. Yes, I see that my website is in the top 10 of those weird keywords but when I clicked the link, I can't find my website. Nowhere at all. Well, I can only find my website if I typed my domain name (xxxxxxx.com), but even if I typed xxxxxx (without the .com), I can't find my home page there. Strangely, I can find two of my web pages there, at page 2 of my domain name (without the .com) in Google. Is this happening due to over-optimization? In January PR update, I got PR 4 for my home page and I am still working a lot on SEOing this website.
Hi.. hmmm, Webmaster tools shows correct data, just that, If you cant see the site with those keywords, means the site is still on the same ranks, BUT is on some other Data center. Lets say, if it shows for a KW, rank 8 and while u click on the keyword, and dont find the results, there can be two reasons: 1. You are signed in from your google account while viewing those SERPS, resulting in personalized Searches 2. The site still ranks the same but at a different Data Center which you have mannually check or can get idea from AWstats as from where the traffic came.. I would recommend you build links and give the domain some more time to establish well in its arena.. its still a premature stage to have it in SERPS.. The domain being just 2 months old, would rarely show up for competitive KW's in SERPS that soon, hence, Build More links, and give those links some time age up. Once they do, you will see a rise for sure. Also, Dont forget to use KW's in your anchor texts and at the same time keeping them as natural as possible. It shall fasten the process.. Hope that helps ya.. LKS
I know but this is not only happening to competitive keywords, i've told you it is in almost all keywords!
With a 2 month old site you most def need strong INBOUND linking have a look at this site w w w.seobook.com/archives/001792.shtml I found it useful when building my linking for my site. get links pointing to you
