Zero Serp Results

heavysm · 10-20-2010, 04:26 PM

Alright, Im still a bit new to the SEO google dance game but I am worried because I have no results for any of my keywords so far. I have only had my link campaign running for about two weeks, meaning I know the links I setup were indexed starting two weeks ago. But I dont even show up for the keywords I am targeting. Is it too early for me to worry, or is there an approximate time where I might expect to pop up in the top 1000 rankings for my keywords?

It depends on how competitive your keywords are and if your website is indexed yet. Are you using anchor text backlinks?

I agree with that, because I found when I change some inner page's content(big change), the page indexed is disappeared, and I am still checking the importance of the pages I changed and the time for reaction after big changing, it is still not indexed yet,, so ,,,,sometimes it is quite stupid to wait and to observe the rules,,,maybe focusing on content building will be the best way lol...

Build quality content and then keep building links to that page with the relevant anchor texts for the next 2 months. Build links at a consistent pace. You are bound to see results. Depending upon your competition, scale your efforts.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, SEO takes time, so don't expect overnight results. 15 days is almost overnight unless you are working on a non-competitive area.

My site is indexed and all of the articles i post to directories and web 2.0 properties have 1 to 3 anchor links. Fred I almost misread your post to say 12 months instead of 2

I know it will take time, and i am using a few separate article submission services along with my own efforts, so I have no doubt there will be some acknowledgement of my efforts through rise in serps.

Out of the 30 keywords I am targeting, 20 are medium competition, 5 are difficult, one being a two word which I dont have high hopes for, and 5 are moderately easy. I am putting full efforts into the 25 easiest to rank for, in my case everything that is 3 or more words long, up to 5.

Though I understand the higher competition keywords have higher traffic, are those 5 worth fighting for compared to the 25 I am solidly concentrating on? I am doing links for all of them, but am merely making sure more from those 25 will come out well. Is this a good strategy to hold for my situation?

*my niche is relatively low competition so I dont expect a great amount of resistance along the way, though I do expect it all to take some time.
