So my website just got indexed by Google, which I am really excited about, but there is a small problem. When you search for the name of my site in google e.g. "mynewwebsite", my page comes up first in Google rankings, but when you search for it with spaces in between the words, e.g. "my new website" it is not on the first page and I don't know where it is. Can someone please help me on how to optimize my site so that when someone searches "my new website" in the google search bar it will have a higher ranking? Thank you so much.
you really can't exactly. when you type it in all as one word it looks for that one big work and because its your url it has high ranking but when you break it down it no longer searches for that big word so you need to create a bunch of keywords that will let google know it needs to know that mynewwebsite and my new website are both the same thing. mane people most likly have the key phrases my, new, and website, so you need to get your website to be listed before them bye building your seo, this will need to be done by maximizing your websites SEO and it will need to be done over time through unique content, high content to ratio, etc.
Thank you, that helped alot. Do you know a site I can go to that has great info on helping with SEO. I know this site is very good but can you suggest anything else? I really want to turn mynewwebsite into my new website, with google. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Hellbomb, I think the term MDWINC5 is referring to with "mynewwebsite" is a generic term because he does not want to give his website name away. No worries, this should be easy to resolve. To have it indexed for "My New Website", we need to have that exact term with the spaces sprinkled on your homepage. Here is a listing from most important to least important, and I'm sure other people will throw out more ideas. 1) Make sure on your homepage that the term "My New Website" is in the title tag just like that, with the spaces and preferably the closer to the beginning as possible. 2) If you don't know what H1, H2, etc. tags are quickly google it. You will want that term in at least the H1 tag, if not more. 3) It won't hurt to have that same term sprinkled on your homepage in the text, and bolding one of the versions. Hopefully you have a few hundred words of text at least on your homepage, if not find a way to get some on there with this term you want to rank for. 4) Don't forget about your Meta keyword and description tags. Most will point out that google does not use these anymore, but when it takes 2 mn's to do, why not? Other search engines still use it, AND google does use the description on it's serp's display. That should be enough for the onsite work, but you also need some backlinks from other sites with the keyword tem as the linking text as well. These can be from bookmarking sites, articles, blogs, etc. The more the better, but if your keyword is not very competitve you may only need a handful, or you may need tens of thousands.
