Hubpages is beating my main website for keyword ranking
- SEO |
Now I wrote an article at Hubpages (which is nice since I've gotten some visitors to my main website from it): Best Stock Market Forums
Now the problem is this - my Hubpages article outranks my main website for the search term "stock market forum" - it currently shows up on the third page when I test it on Google. However, my main website is unranked. I know I have to build more backlinks to my main website and that can make a difference. Having said that, my Hubpages article has no backlinks either! I never bothered to work on backlinks for my Hubpages but somehow, it magically ranks on the third page in Google. My Hubpages article is also younger than my website.
My best guess as to why my Hubpages article outranks my main website is that perhaps Hubpages has more trust with Google? Does anybody else have any experience with this? I suppose I need that many more backlinks and trust for my main website to beat my Hubpages article?
(Also, I am aware that some will suggest putting the article on my main website instead - I'm aware of this strategy but for these types of articles I write, it does not make sense to put it on my website/forum).
