Hi warriors,
I own an Amazon Affilate website and the first post was posted in about 2 months and yet,none of my pages are in the top 100 on any keyword which I have targeted [I've got some eBooks about that so I think that I got the right keywords]
What can be the reason for that? What can I do to get it ranked?

Thanks,Joe

    You have to build link of each pages also, the on-page optimization should be good.

    It is because of new website I think.

    ProSence, this is NOT exactly true. I can rank a new website (about a month old) to 1st page for a normal competition keyword. So, the age is NOT very important (yeah, it plays a role... but not very important)

    My advice: (but first some questions!)

    Do you build RELEVANT backlinks?
    Do you build HIGH QUALITY backlinks? (from pages with a high domain and page authority)
    Do you often update your website?
    Is your content unique? (a VERY IMPORTANT factor...)

    So... on-page seo (different titles and description for EACH page of your website), h1, alt and title tags...
    Off-page SEO -> directory and article marketing would help you. Also Forum marketing on RELATED forums (if any in your niche!)

    What are your keywords? When you search your keyword in Google is there less than 1,000,000 results? How much backlinks to a certain page does the competition have? Do you have any backlinks? Go on Fiverr and purchase some angela styled backlinks for $5. I

    It depends on your site content and the types of keywords you have targeted to rank for.Your on site SEO condition should be good enough.You also need to build high quality backlinks to those pages in order to get them ranked.

  • Crisis,

    You say you are unable to rank but what have you been doing? Have you been doing any of the activities that patco mentions? If not I would suggest doing some backlink building and make sure they are from authoritative websites that are similar to yours. Make sure you also diversify your backlink profile by doing some nofollow links as well. Vary your anchor text too, don’t always use the same text with every link if you can help it.

    Here are some good link building tactics from SEOMoz,

    Chances are you haven't put enough work into your off page SEO. You also need to be marketing the site through avenues other than SEO as it will provide a little traffic as well as help with rankings. Most importantly, you need to work through the lack of results. This game requires a ton of patience in most cases.

    One hint, from looking at your signatures, would be to get backlinks from relevant sites.

      You just need to build quality back links and keep updating your site with fresh content.

    You can just copy he content from Amazon, (unless you rewrite the pages to make it original) - Unlikely you rank for any major terms yet- takes time (effort backlinking) etc

    site create easy - backlinks work- social bookmarking wont be enough....
