Hello, My domain (www.wowforums.com) was crawled by Google on 8/21, but the only page ranked for the term "wow forums" is http://www.wowforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=261 this is listed on the fifth page of results. My index is not ranked at all as far as I can tell. Another search engine, MS Live, ranked my index as #4 for the same term - "wow forums" My question is this: Why did google rank some random thread on my forum rather than the index, which has a better density for my target keywords? I do a 301 redirect from www.wowforums.com/ to www.wowforums.com/forum/index.php via .htmlaccess, would this cause a penalty? Edit: Also, many of the results above me have no backlinks or 1 backlink. I have one recognized backlink and have several that will be included in the next update. Any suggestions, feedback, or ideas greatly appreciated.
