Online games Website not ranking

    Hi folks,

    I have an online games website which I launched 5 weeks ago and it's not getting ranked at all. I only get about 5 visitors a day on average. I can't understand why as technically the site is very good. I've spent ages cleaning the code, optimizing it for mobile users so it serves only mobile games when viewed from a mobile device (something which many of the top sites don't even do) , optimising the site for speed (doing things like caching, serving content from a static domain, mimimizing code for reduced file size). Every page has a unique meta title and description.There are other sites that have far fewer games that are doing way better than me.

    The only two things I can think is that the search engines disapprove of websites that grow so quickly in size ins such a short space (the site has 30000 games on it which where auto-generated), and that I made corrections to the game descriptions. There were many mistakes in the game descriptions so I rang several sql queries to correct things like grammar, punctuation, formatting errors such as "/n" new line tags which browsers don't parse as html.

    I worry now that I've not only wasted my time correcting the descriptions but it's also harmed my website as the search engines may have considered it spun content.

    I'm aware that there is not enough original content on the site to make it particularly attractive to the search engines, but as I mentioned, other sites are doing way better than me, getting 1000's of unique visitors every day with no original content (same as mine).

    I plan on adding original content to category pages and home page to explain more about the webpage, like a summary of what it's about but I would ideally like to get to the root of the problem as to why I'm not getting many page visits. I submitted the site map to bing and google and google has indexed all the pages now it seems.

    The website address is arcadebunker.com. Please someone have a look and advise me.

    Thanks

    Hello arcadebunker,

    Just took a look at your website, and here are 4 items you can make a improvement.

    1. You have 314 pages marked as "noindex" to search engine bot. Use <meta name="robots" content="index,follow"/> unless you have a reason for not indexing. Most of the pages are your game categories, game tag pages. Those pages are very important from my understanding to generate keywords search traffic.

    Some pages:
    1 http://www.arcadebunker.com/all-games/
    2 http://www.arcadebunker.com/category/action-games/page/10/
    3 http://www.arcadebunker.com/category/action-games/page/121/
    4 http://www.arcadebunker.com/category/action-games/page/2/
    5 http://www.arcadebunker.com/category/action-games/page/20/
    6 http://www.arcadebunker.com/category/action-games/page/3/
    7 http://www.arcadebunker.com/category/action-games/page/30/
    8 http://www.arcadebunker.com/category/action-games/page/4/
    9 http://www.arcadebunker.com/category/action-games/page/5/
    10 http://www.arcadebunker.com/category/adventure-games/page/2/
    ...

    2. H1 tag not optimized on pages.
    3. Too long page titles. Page title should be around 55 characters.
    4. Too long meta descriptions. Meta description should around 155 characters.

    PM me, if you want your website analysis in detail. I can send to you via email.

    Have you considered on reanalyzing your website?
    I think your need to look in to your meta tags, url structure and most especially your site's content.

    i think there is problem in online page seo.it may be due to meta tags and keywords.
