Hi All, I designed this site for a client http://www.SecurityMarketingGuru.com I can not get this site to rank! My keyword is "security marketing" The first sites on google are crap! no links, no site maps and there are not a lot of sites for this keyword phrase. I hit it hard at first with social bookmarking and rss submissions. Could I have gotten slapped? Please let me know what you guys think. THanks. Bill
I've noticed that my stats will show some hits from the search engines, but when I type in my keywords, my site doesn't show even in the first 10 pages. I'm thinking that maybe the se's are showing my site higher in the serps based on other factors related to the person searching. So one person searching will get different results than another, maybe based on location, or searching habits/history, or ip. For example, netflix will show me favorite movies in my area. So i'm thinking the se's maybe doing something similar. What is your traffic like? Did it improve with the social bookmarking? I see tons 100+ backlinks to your site from social sites.
Yes, not everyone gets the same results. There's plenty of different sets - searching for your own site yourself is a waste of time IMO, just concentrate on the stats & use google's webmaster tools. That tells you your ranking to people who had searched it
