Google indexed site, but not ranking yet?

Hey everyone - I completed an Amazon affiliate review site a few months back. The keyword is about 900 exact searches per month and I somehow got the exact match .com domain. The site is well fleshed out with unique content, has about 40 pages total, and reviews have about 500 words each. I've done some minor backlinking, but nothing too serious. Google found my site about two months ago, but no matter what I search for I cannot find it in the results. The only way to see it listed in Google is to use the "site:thisismywebsite.com" search. This hasn't happened to me before and can't figure out what is causing it.

I've searched for the top level keyword 20 pages deep and get into some really spammy sites by the end of it. I would have thought that it would be in there somewhere. I've started ramping up the backlinking, but is there anything else going on? What can I do?

    It's possible you've been sandboxed. Google it.

    Check your backlinks - you may have bought a previously spammed EMD domain that has a penalty.

      Or use this;

      BLACKLISTALERT.ORG

      Don't panic if a couple channels light up and pink as say "fail" - always happens it seems.

      Don't want to see any red.

      Or do this as well - copy a sentence from the content - surround it with quotations and search it in Google;

      "the brown cow jumped over the silvery moon"

      It may not be cached that's all. If you are creating static html pages and not using CMS like Wordpress or Drupal, then you will have to fire in a link. Only ONE, and never again.

    I would like to suggest you to focus on link building. It may also help you ranking for the keyword later on, but remember don't do it too fast as google will consider it as unnatural links and it can cause you to be de-indexed.

    When have you started promoting your site? Since search engine ranking will not happen overnight. It is a long time procedure, and that one can only achieve through consistent work, where creating stellar content plays a key role in ranking your site in search engine. And to improve the visitors experience and conversion you have to create a perfect website from every aspect like URL Structure, navigation, design, site content, landing page, page loading time and website uptime.

    Focus on the above work, have patience it will definitely come in ranking.

    You need to tighten up your on-page. With the right optimization, you should get to at least page #4 for a low competition KW. The right backlinks will get it to page #1.

    smodha hit the nail right on the head. First, you have to make sure that your website is fully optimized for the keywords that you are targeting (on page SEO). This is the foundation of SEO.

    Then, and only then, should you proceed with a consistent natural looking off page link building strategy. In other words, do not overdo your targeted keywords in the anchor text, and make sure that you only build around 10-15% of the links to your website's homepage.

    Withous serious backlinking, noone will be able to find your website. You should start building links, this is like telling people, "Hello everybody, I am here and I want to show you something". You are now on a "street", where NOONE actually lives, you should attract more people to your website. Having your domain name as your main keyword is great (it would be helpful), but it is ONLY one of the main factors... You should build backlinks for this keyword (but check the keyword density!!!). Then do quality ON-PAGE SEO for EVERY article (title, description, keywords -> You main keyword and a few secondary keywords...)... And of course continue writing new content each time you can... And never give up! Good luck!

    Hello kdonovan08 hope you are doing great

    Google Index a website quickly but it take time to rank a website. Google uses 200 factors to rank a website. Some times it will take more than 6 months to rank a particular website.
    So be patient build quality back links for your sites and also share your website on social media sites.
