HI, First, this is not a site review, just a question reqgrding my site in google and some possible changes. Background: I have a site that has 100% unique content as it's came from my head no where else. Some backlinks (100+) / Google PR / around 90% indexed pages Problem: this site is no where in google SERPS and does not even have a allinanchor for my main keywords anymore, I've contacted google a few times to get the standard answer but they have also confirmed that the site is not being hit with a penalty. I've had some SEO people look at the site and they have no idea why it's no where for the keywords, it seems to be making the best people in SEO scratch there heads The site is over a year and a half old as well. Now, a few weeks ago I decided to buy a shorter URL as the current one is long and people will forget, so the short URL 301's to the site in question. From a SEO point of view, what kind of effect will this have if any on the main site? and If I get a few back links to the short URL, would it be possible to get that URL ranking high for a keyword without making the main site worse? I would guess I would have the option to transfer the site to the shorter URL as well and try a different aproach with SEO but I could well trip the same problem my site is suffering and spend another 18 months with no one finding the site. So... from a SEO point of view, what would people suggest from above or would you go about it another way? JP
It's the Puerto Del Carmen link in the sig. I'm not asking anyone to review the site or find the problem as I have basically given up anyway
