Very low keyword rankings, Exceptional

    Hello.

    My website ranks very low at keywords. Even if you enter the exact page title of any article, it won't be seen anywhere. However, if the article has been shared to Bookmarking sites, you may see one of those, but Bookmarking site being ranked. My pages are also indexed regularly but rank the most bad. Google is generous enough to rank websites that duplicate stuff off other websites but doesn't rank those which produce actual content. It actually does, but not in my case :(

    My website contents are at-least 60% unique. Duplication is really no problem. My friend actually has a 100% duplicate website and he ranks pretty good, even higher than me. Even if you write "mixupdate" my website name with the topic title, you won't see that page but instead the index page of the website which is doing pretty good. Google does index and update my website's index page regularly and some of the website articles also do rank very good ( but 80% articles ) don't rank Good.

    On searching a page title at Google, you can probably see the Caption of that page on the index page ( which shows up ) but not the page itself. My website is almost a year old and perhaps 5-6 months back I changed my website's permalinks from ?p=id to topic titles. I think that has affected me badly because this is happening since that time and I've just been waiting that one day this will be brought back to rankings by Google. I mentioned some things about Duplicate because people start from that but the actual reason is different.

    Re-consideration request was sent about 4 months back, no replies.

    What should I do ?

    From what I have read and the very little I understand, you need to learn English. If your articles are worded like your posts..

    it is an autoblog right? I had made one autoblog and still it dosen't rank very well but I get around 40 visits daily. I don't think google likes autoblogs anymore I noticed that smaller but completly unique sites can rank a lot higher.

    I spot-checked your blog posts and you seem to be competing with big players, some of the searches are returning sites like Huffington Post, you're never going to outrank them unless you have a well-established site with strong editorial oversight and a big reputation.

    I also think that your site lacks a coherent idea. You seem to just be posting lots of popular news stories, but they're not held together with any common thread. As such, google will explore your site, and even if it's well-indexed, it won't see enough of a common thread for you to rank well in any one area. Combine this with the fact that all your posts are in competitive search terms, and you have a formula for failure.

    I'd recommend one of two things, ideally both:

    1. Narrow the focus of your site. Pick a more specific topic that can be a thread that runs through all your posts and focus on doing that well.

    2. Do some research to find less competitive keywords. Don't just go after the highest-traffic searches. If you're a smaller player with a newer, less well-established site, and if your site is nothing more than a blog, it's going to be much easier to capture search traffic from low-volume searches. There are millions of low-traffic search terms that have virtually no competition. Find some.

    1st of all its not an Auto-Blog.

    And I believe my English is pretty good enough to write articles, not sure why you said that. The 1st post was written by my assistant since I was a bit busy, and yes he did make some grammatical errors.

    @ Cazort:

    Nice and wise reply mate. I like your idea since that could be a problem but that's something to chose if you want to rank really really better. Like you got the basic rankings, then you promote it by that. Currently, some of my posts do not rank at all even upto 10 pages, and I have newly made websites on which a friend of mine just duplicates articles off other websites and I hate when he easily ranks in Top 3 pages easily and those posts are also very competetive while my original content ranks no-where. I strongly believe this is caused by the changing of permalinks because I had to change the permanlinks of about 1000 indexed articles. Google could have penalized me for that. I asked for help even before at this forum. Some people would reply "Wait 6 months or so" . So not sure what to do since it has already been a lot of time now.


    I just believe Google penalizes you for making a lot of changes for your site. And Google is pretty linient for Newer Websites or even Duplicate Websites.
