Trying to understand why my site isn't on google's first page yet...
- SEO |
I've been reading the forums for a little over a month now, but this is actually my first post. Usually if I have a question I find out that its already been answered about 10+ times on the forums! This place is awesome, I can't believe how much helpful information is here on one site.
Anyway, I couldn't find an answer to this seemingly silly question, so here goes:
I have a moderately-low competing keyword that I've been optimizing my site for the last month or so. I can see that I've made progress, because I have over 100 back links and when I search my keyword in quotes in google I am in the number 1 spot (actually i am holding the top 2 spots with 2 different websites). However, when I search without quotes, my sites are pushed back to page 2 or 3.
If my site is #1 when searched with quotes, how is it possible that I wouldn't be on the first page somewhere without quotes?
I'm confused. :confused:
