Hi all, I have a site, www.playtouchgames.com, and my #1 keyword is "ipod touch games." You'll find that my site is the second site for this keyword. I'm #1 on Google for my other important keywords, such as "games for ipod touch", "games on ipod touch", etc, and my goal is to achieve that for "ipod touch games" as well. There was a span a couple of months ago where I was the first result, but it quickly ended. My question is, do you have any suggestions for me specifically to move up in the rankings? I feel I have a good sense of SEO, but I can't seem to move up. I have more backlinks and a higher PageRank... :\ Is it just almost impossible to get better ranking for "ipod touch games" than ipodtouchgames.com because they're domain name IS the keyword even though their website is just a bunch of links? Thanks for your thoughts, Dan
So your result is number 2? If it is dont worry just make a really good meta description and title and you may get most of the visitors anyway. If you want to get a bit dirty you could ask google to manually review the #1 ranked site if it is inappropriate. Might be hard to take #1 spot though unfortunately.
it,s really matter of the url ur using two of the last keywords are in your url and same in the title and description i think so.
Hi There isn't much text on your page, it might be worth coming up with at least a paragraph that includes the phrase 'ipod touch games' - I can't see those exact words on the page at the moment, and even your heading text is an image. I think that would help. Cheers
It's a big help if your keyword(s) is/are associated in your url. Plus a good title and description with your keywords.
Its not impossible ... Just move ipod touch games towards the beginning of Title tag but m worried you might loose rankings for other keywords.
The url might play an important part in ranking, for the other two higher ranking site, their domain have all the keywords. I noticed your pr is 3, there is definite room for improvement, keep on building back links
Its true that his site is more directed to that phrase. If it is really important to you, then change your title and H1. Also, why not write more content on your homepage and in your site in general?
My thought exactly sounds like content and daily will do the trick. Good luck it's nice to rank so high enjoy the view from up there.
Its easy - buy as many domains as you possibly can afford but register them with different names to avoid domain farm detection. Google Search 'seo specialist' or 'laptops for students' and we will always be number 1
Thanks for all of your input. I'm in the process of sprucing up my meta/title tags. I'm going to try and add some textual content, but I want to find out a good way to do it. I want to keep the site straight to the point of playing games and not so much talking about them.
If i were you I'll use the combination of logo images & big h1 text for website name & slogan instead of one big logo image.
