ok guys been playing on here for a bit, have a decent understanding of SEO think i have done fairly well at optimizing the site, absolutely rock both msn and yahoo own almost all relative results but simpyl can not get a single result on google. I have gone over it and over it, they are not reporting any of our 100's of great qualitybacklinks, though we have a pr4. I could really use someone who knows what they are doing if you could take a few mins work some of your magic and tell me where we are coming up short, if we have been penalized or are still sandboxed, or have done something majorlyoffensive? I make a living off this site or try, it's no spam, no hot keyword, semi competitive maybe? I just get none of the traffic we need and deserve the msn/yahoo gets us really nothing to speak of.. I REALLY need google and since some changes and updates are about to come i could REALLY use your help please if there's any last min things i can do or change thanks so much PM's would be really appreciated
That right there could be part of the problem. You are not using all the opportunities to receive incoming links.
well they do have to be relative links and i already have a bl from here thanks to someone who was nice enough to put it in their sig
Relative links may give more weight but unrelated ones are better than none at all. This is why DP's Coop Ad Network is so popular.
i have been holding off on just buying links because i thought i'd be penalized by google if they could figure out it was a page oriented to links being sold etc..you guys would all say just get as many links as u can period?
I wouldn't buy links through a link farm but there are other ways to do it. Starting a Blog on a different domain and and linking back to your main site with relevant anchor text is also helpful too.
Hmmm could be just coming outta the box, PM me your URL if you want and I'll have a quick look at it.
THIS IS REDICULOUS!!!! Well optimized site, no spam. zero update on Bl's showing same it did 6 months ago meanwhile msn and yahoo show TONS!! Site is a year old does not come up in any results other then when serached for directly. What the hell did i ever do to google? haha i'll post the url here prob delete later on incase anyone wants to take a peak.. i have no clue what is going on or why google hates my site.. i know there's tons of real bl's and sig links in forums etc google just seems to ignore them xxxedited pm if u want the url thanks thanks for your input
Mountain .. breath deeply and stop looking in Google, your in the sandbox, go and make your site better, and getting links.
lol i do daily! but man i have seen crappy spam sites do much better.. ARGH! and it's been 12 months.. this is what i get for playing in the sandbox when i was a kid
