I still don't show up for the keyword i trying to get ranked!!! I have never put in so much work on any of my sites (they rank pretty well) that i did on this site! I have 3x more back links than the top 5-10 and have stronger links!!!! My site is listed on DMOZ + Yahoo directory with anchor text as the exact keyword!! i managed to have 3 site wide .edu links that been one for 2 months! But still Google doesn't want to show me on that keyword .... The only thing, that i think is holding me back Is how young the site is (6 months)!! Does age really play a big role in your site ranking ?? Because it Sucks!!!
yes i think age is a big factor ranking in google. thats what happned to my sites too. i was trying to rank high with my6 months old young site but i could not. it took me atleast 1 year to get top 10 in google. so keep working on your site, im sure soon you will be top 10 rank, good luck
Dont get disheartened, and just keep working on it. It took me a couple of years to get the positions I wanted on Google for some very competitive keywords. Since getting where I want to be, the work then begins in making sure that you stay where you want to be. Getting good results in Google is a continuous process, and not one where a quick fix will help. Just keep working on it. Alex
It also depends on how much competition there is for the key words you want to rank for. I've ranked well for keywords I didn't even think off but I'm only at 155 and 431 for the two keywords I'm chasing It's a long slog
Yep, age could be your biggest enemy. You may have another 3 months till you see some results from your work but keep doing what your doing.
Patience. That's all I can tell you. Eventually, your site will make it to page 1. Google has its own schedule to factor all your links.
Boy, MY site got all the onsite optimization a 10 SEO companies can put together!!! and some more added to that!
i see that you have done so many thinks with great backlinks but i think there is one think that google want from you. you must wait. if your site age is under 1 or 2 (this time depent on the keyword you want to rank), you must wait to get out of the sandbox
That age thing is harsh ;-(, im going to register all the projects i wanted to start for next year and site slap on a small site and let them get ready for me to promote them next year. Like waiting for the right time to eat a fruit.
Looking at your sig links you might have a site in the gambling niche? If so age is THE most important factor from what I have seen, you will not rank for competitive keywords for months or even year + even if your site is the best in the niche.
i used to think the age is a big factor till my site beated some old domain sites. (my site is 11 months old) but also it's still one of a factor to consider your SERPs. more important one is the content and SEOs i guess. make sure your site is seo friendly with fresh content. that would be fine.
I would just keep on working at it. At first when I heard that "age makes a difference" a long while back, I didn't really believe it. But now, I think it does play some sort of part in it.
