Why Isn't My BLog Ranking Well For Specific Search Term?

    My blog, listed in signature, is called Sharpe Investing. When I google Sharpe Investing, the first few pages of results are mostly direct links to my blog from directories, social bookmarking sites, or other sites. However, my actual blog is not listed in at least the 1st 5 pages of results.

    I was wondering why this is? I started my blog about 2 weeks ago on Blogger.

    I did a little research on your keywords. Here's your competition

    investing 95,400,000
    finance 444,000,000
    capital 463,000,000

    I used an SEO tool and did not find your blog listed in the first 1000 for Sharpe Investing.

    I'd recommend you get an SEO tool to research certain keywords. A nice one I use can be found here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=329622


    You will need to do link building, keyword optimizing, meta tag optimizing, etc. Keep checking the forums here for help and keep posting. Just keep doing these things correctly and your SERPs will get better. Wish you the best.

    You will need to be patient and continue building links and on page seo, it could be months before you start seeing results for such competitive keywords. If this is your first blog consider aiming to rank for less competitive keywords first.

    Agreed with the 2nd poster. VERY competitive niche will take time and some killer content but it's possible. Good luck!

    Why do you wish to make a blog on blogger? Make it on your own domain. It takes time for a new site to gain trust. IMO, the keyword that you are targetting isn't searched too often.....
