Hey Guys,

I'm a complete noob but I am really having some fun getting into this stuff. I have two main niche sites portabledigitalrecorderssite . com and thumb-picks . com and they both rank on the first page of yahoo for their keywords "portable digital recorders" and "thumb picks" but no real rankings in google.

Portable Digital Recorders however makes it to page three of google when i use quotes around the phrase but is nowhere to be found without quotes. I'm just curious as to what this means or if i can use this information in any way?

Cheers!

    This is actually a great question and not at all trivial. The short answer is that although you are specifically targeting the phrase Portable Digital Recorders (which appears to be medium-competitive though not highly competitive), other sites, which are not targeting the phrase but include the words "portable," "digital" and "recorders" and their combinations are more trusted and therefore rank more highly than your site (although yours is more targeted/relevant than some of those ranking about you). How can you beat them? By getting trusted links with the anchor text targeting your phrase (although optimizing your site itself can also help).

      Go with the quote! I agree with you that optimizing your site itself and market it more would really help. Your site rank would be better when you get enough traffic, keywords, adsense in places, seo... Try adding Wordpress and other tools to get more recognition to your website.
