I would really appreciate if anyone can evaluate why my site, http://www.capturethecall.com would rank very high on msn and yahoo, but is nowhere to be found on google. i don't believe it would still be in the google sandbox (the site has been live since feb. 2005, although we did switch hosting about 6 months ago). the site has good content. link popularity is not great, but the site should defintitely rank in the top 50 at least. we're optimizing the site for "call tracking services": google search i can only think that we have too much keyword density and internal linking with "call tracking services"???? any ideas or help would be great!
At first glance, i would say that your on-page seo stuff is ok. It looks like you just need to get some links...lots of links.
it is not surprising that your website ranks in msn and Yahoo! but not in Google. To come up in Google it takes time and some times longer then anticipated. So keep workin organically on your website and surely your website will come up for rankings soon. after initial site analysis, your website does lack Alt tags for all the images.... you have used one keyword so many times (10 times) as anchor text that it looks like spam on the home page.
Your on-page optimization looks ok... Well your page is shining a lot... which doesnt look good to the site viewers so better change the color and make is sothing to eyes. You just need good quality links from the sites that have something the same to offer as yours... make your neighbourhood good... the sites that link to you so that the search engines find it easy to show you in the category where it has to show you.

Yeah I am getting alot of traffic from Yahoo and Msn lately I am actually very suprised at how much they have climbed up.. I wonder whats going on with that .. maybe I should start looking at pleasing Yahoo a bit more The Crow
You have got lot to do to get better ranking in google. With just 10 backlinks in google you are not going to get good ranking. Link popularity is still an important factor therfore please build links, links, & more links. Most of your comepetitive websites have more backlinks than yours. I would not recommend to keep all the important keyeords in bold letters either. Instead I would recommend to get more backlinks with that anchor text.
Google and yahoo are different. Google looks mostly for relevant link (only relevant link count ) as most important, yahoo & msn looks for content & count non relevant links.
i took out a lot of the "call tracking services" link so it won't look like spam to google. i also added the dp co-op. and i gave each page individual title and meta tags. i'll let you guys know if we see any results. i'll concentrate on link building asap too. thanks for everyone's help!
