What Am I Missing??

Hi guys

Bit stuck here. I've got the homepage of an ecommerce site I am doing seo for to go up in ranking, and I've got once of the category pages to go right up also. But there is one more category I have been working on too (for over a month now) and it just will not show up in google at all. It is indexed, but I have hunted through the first few hundred results and cant find it for that keyword.

I have done on site and then built a load of tiered links, as well as some manual blog comments. Isn't this a bit odd? What can I do? I am still building links but it just seems so weird that it wont budge for a fairly non competitive keyword (this is google.ie too) when I got the homepage to jump from #3 to #1 using the same tactics on a more competitive keyword.

One weird point to note is that when I first got the work I used cute rank and it said they ranked #53 for this keyword. But when I looked I noticed #53 was a similar but different category page, it obviously just showed up as the only results in cute rank. But now that isn't in the top few hundred either and hasn't been for weeks. And I've not been linking to that one. Weird!

How would you guys move forward with this and try to get the category to rank? It just seems like theres a missing piece to the puzzle lol.

Thanks for any help

  • i had a very similiar question about putting an a** load of effort into a sites page and getting nowhere lol. sometimes google is just a mystery to me i'd like to think i'm not an seo newbie, but sometimes i do what seems to be everything right and get zero. i know someone very knowledeable will be able to answer your question...there's got to be a detail somewhere missing...

  • yes thats the right. and the on-page seo... I did exactly the same as I did to the other category which has shot up the rankings and stayed there, so dont know what else to do really..

    • Hi brightgravity,

      Where are you ranked using the allinanchor:keyword operator? (Replace keyword with your targeted keyword)

      If your allinanchor: position is higher than your standard search ranking then you need to improve your on-page SEO.

      If your allinanchor: position is lower than your competitors' then your competitors are doing a better job of promoting their web pages. In this case you need to do more promotion of your web page using meritorious link building.
