Guys,

I need some help - My Niche Website Isn't Showing Anywhere on Google for Keyword. This is my first time doing this. I was ranked 107 when I first started a few weeks ago and now this past week dropped off the face of the earth. If any of you wordpress seo gurus can help, msg me and I will give you more details.

Basically, I think I have some issues on my static front page as it isn't showing up in a search engine for its keyword. Not even in top 500 according to the serp seo tools out there. I don't get it and would love a mentor to give me a bit of guidance if possible.

This is an affiliate site but it has a lot of great value I am building into it.

      I haven't really done a lot of backlinking. I have posted on a few blogs but most of the stuff I believe has been no follow. I have submitted to a number of directories but when I search for my backlinks on backlinkwatch .com it shows nothing.

      An an example Let's say my key word is best baseball glove. My domain is bestbaseballgloveguide .com. The keyword looks pretty easy to rank for, there is no reason I am not ranking. I must have issues on my static wordpress page but cant figure it out.

      Only changes to the website would be added content and trying to better my onpage seo for all existing pages.

    You're site is not likely to rank at all for anything even slightly competitive (which almost ALL affiliate programs are) without backlinks.

    Do NOT get suckered into paying someone peanuts in some 3rd world country to build you hundreds or thousands of links per month for a nominal fee. These links will only end up getting your site hammered by the next Google update. Pretty much all unnatural link building techniques where you "plant" a link to your site on someone else's site will soon be targeted by Google, if they haven't already been. The easier a link is to get, the lower its value.

    If you want your affiliate site to rank I suggest you come up with a way to EARN natural, editorial backlinks where the webmasters of other sites place a link on their site to yours because they think that your site has something of interest or useful to their visitors.

    Basically:

    1) Identify the target audience for the product/service you're promoting
    2) Figure out which sites online that target audience frequents
    3) Come up with some GREAT resource, tool, or content that you can build/write that those sites which your target audience frequents would find useful or informative to their visitors
    4) Build that GREAT resource, tool, or content. But it has to be GREAT, not something you can find on hundreds or thousands of other sites on the web.
    5) Let the webmasters of those sites where your audience frequent know about your GREAT resource, tool, or content. Ask them to check it out and if they like it, share it with their visitors.

    There really is no "short cut" to great rankings these days. If you want your site to survive the next Penguin, Panda, or other flavor-of-the-day Google update, then it had better have great content and high quality backlinks. Throw in a a little "real" social discussion, and you've got a winning formula.

      I think I may have some old backlinks from the previous owner. I rant the domain through backlink checker small seo tools and it has 65, many that flow through statscrop.com but show very bizarre anchor text for ridiculous sites. The odd thing is these backlinks aren't shown in google webmaster tools, so not sure if they are making an impact.
