    Hi Guys,

    I am new to this program and am probably making a stupid mistake, but for some reason my keywords don't ever get anything other than N/A.

    For example, if I put "search engine" with URL http://google.com I get N/A.

    This also happens for the site I am trying monitor: kumsheen.com

    "river rafting british columbia" with URL http://kumsheen.com again receives N/A even though when I search on google it is ranked number three.

    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Thankyou,

    -Steve

    Take out http:// from the URLs. Or if you do want to specify the full URL, make sure it matches what is in Google. For example http://www.google.com (notice the www).

    and if you miss high rankings

    post again and i email you a detailed recommendation-reort ( or post here if welcome ) i made this mornig for a friend in italy ..

    because it appears to me that you titles are far toooooo long (8 too many words ) to give high rankings in relevant quiries .. like the domain start page

    <title>Kumsheen Whitewater River Rafting BC, Summer Camp, Family Adventure Vacation, Vancouver Canada</title>

    is far too long to get a topo ten rank except inf little or no competition ..

    usually its far better to split you site into small sements ( may be a page of content similar to one legal size paper .. limited to one very precise topic ... with just a few keywords and all around that service or product ..

    it almost surely puts you in top ten o rtop 1-3 in most relevand searches ...
    then group pages into THEMES linked to each other .. to make it a complete topic and put one such topic in a separate folder using same name as keywords --->> Yahoo will love that as it uses also strings in URLs ..

    because a google query
    Rafting Adventures Whitewater site:www.kumsheen.com

    shows that all pages have very long title tags

    and if you look at what people use as quieries in wordtracker
    http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/?keywords=rafting

    then you see several possible titles for each page
    and if you edit / construct a content and info rich short page around that title
    its almost sure to put you high up in google

    like: whitewater rafting
    or
    white water rafting

    see the difference - totally different users will find either the page whitewater or white water rafting - so you may try to combine BOTH into one page .. in description tag, H1 and H2 titles .. and text

    and in a seperate page about the location you may again mention kunsheen ( if that is the location name .. ...

    please let me knwo if it help or if u need more info
    whats your ranking in USED queries now and do you have several pages highly ranked ?

    Thanks digitalPoint it works now, I knew it was some little thing I was overlooking.

    Hi Hans, I agree with you, except I built a CMS for this client and he edits the titles and meta tags himself. Although I don't agree with his use of titles for many reasons, they seem to be doing quite well in Google. Many of our target keywords are in the top ten results.
