Hi guys I was wondering what I can do to get backlinks or increase rankings. I purchased a domain with my keyword in (example: not my real domain) keyworddomain.com but for some reason no matter what i do "keyword domain" in google does not show up. I have tried plenty of articles, blogging, facebook, signature on forum posts, etc.

Im thinking i might need backlinks if so what options do i have to get free back links or cheap ones? I tried BuyBlogReviews paid a bunch of bloggers to write a review but no reviews have been created yet :/

I get some visits, Im ranked #4 in bing but i think google is ignoring me

any suggestions for rank improvement would be awesome

thanks guys!

ps if its okay with the moderators i could pm my website address to people who respond to take a look at it.

You might have bought a domain Google has blacklisted in the past for something. I had Adsense on my domain in the past, it got the G-slap and my Adsense account was banned - domain doesn't show in G even on a direct search for exact pages.
Maybe you're running into this ?

[Eoon]

I was always confused with talks about domains being black-listed, because countless times while struggling with Adwords banning my ads and accounts, one thing was a constant - they told me that "Google is for open internet and my domains getting banned on Adwords will in no way affect my organic ranks"...

[Sitedude]

I never thought about that, scott i just read your pm about changes and I made a few thanks for the great info It's the Spy cell phones site I created. The weird thing is there is a guy with a close domain name as mine but not exact and his comes up first lol also beating me in rankings is a channel 6 news article and some other useless sites.

You might want to check the free trial of Market Samurai. During the trial period you'll be able to use part of the software to do an analysis of your site and his and see which factors he's beating you up with. It's a good tool for keyword research as well, which does remain functional after the trial, but the page and competition analysis become disabled at the end of the trial. Wish I had an affiliate link for it, LOL.
The trial also comes with a few videos with excellent SEO techniques that could be helpful.

PS. By the way, in the disclaimer under your opt-in form on your squeeze page, you typo'd the word [legality] into [legaility].

[Sitedude]

thanks haha i totally missed that one thanks scott. changing it now and trying market samurai does the sales page look okay or should I change anything?

[scottsplace]

Adding the pricing info on the sales page helped alot. Kind of nit-picky, but lots of places in your sales info should have apostrophe's - "spouses, employees, or childs " should be "spouse's, employee's, or child's". For instance, "spouses" means more than one spouse, "spouse's" means belonging to your spouse. Some potential customers might notice details like that.

Another little typo that could be noticed and make a difference is in your explanation of the SSL for transactions. "industry rsecuring online", the r at the beginning of securing could again be something that could affect conversions.

I know a lot of people say don't worry about stuff like that, and while being perfect isn't necessary, alot of credibility can be lost from simple errors such as those. When you're explaining security involved in payment processing, not spelling "security" right could make them wonder just how secure things are.

Thanks again Scott, made the correct changes, i hate going over things a bunch of times and think its correct and it turns out to look like a 5th grader wrote it.

Do you think the video should have an autoplay=1? or just give the option if they want to view it, press play?

[scottsplace]

Personally, I hate autoplaying videos, but many marketers swear by them and also remove player controls so people have to watch or leave. That would be a good thing to run a split test on - same exact page only one has autoplay and one doesn't. Just an idea if you have some split testing software and wanted to find out for sure which way did better.

[Sitedude]

i'll give it a shot, I just put it on autoplay. I wish I had the flashvars to remove the play buttons and hide the metacafe recommends can't seem to find them anywhere.

[scottsplace]

If you visit another sales page with video the way you want, do a "view source code" on it, you might find the variables/commands you need.

Could also just ask in the right topic in here, chances are pretty good one of the moderators or members knows how to do it. There's some really sharp people in here.

You can only see significant change with your ranking only if you use your keywords in your content (mention it a few times) in your site. By typing your keyword domain doesn't mean your site will come up straight away unless you put dotcom at the end.

It's all about your content first before your backlinks.
I've seen sites that has less than 100 backlinks but a few thousands of webpages in its site and still that site still ranks number one. So don't get confuse with backlink building and content. Just a reminder search engines looks at a domain with content first, not how much backlinks he made to his site.

If search engine only looks at backlinks, well everyone would be spamming their sites with backlinks and not worry about their content just to rank high.

A little update on the possible blacklisting of domains by google. This is just preliminary testing results, as I only have one domain, and was using Adsense on it until it got "slapped".

While researching one of my campaigns I had been linking to images on my domain which had SEO optimized file names and should have been able to appear in google's organic results for images, as the article which included the linked pic was already rising in the results.

As a test, I ran a google search for the exact image using the image URL, google results were, nothing matching your query.

This seems to show that the big G does not even see my domain, and the only thing I can think of is that my Adsense account was banned, so my domain is "blacklisted" as not searchable by google.

I know this is not definitive proof, and further testing is needed, but it does seem to at least be possible for a domain to be blacklisted and invisible to google.

Anyone have any other explanation for google not being able to return a search result for a known file when referenced directly in a search?

[Sitedude]

Google's getting a little wild lately. I remember a few years back I would set up an adwords account and just use a hoplink with a great display ad and generate sales without a website lol. I figured i'd throw up the spy site for .25 Max CPC and see what bites i could get. Got my ad dissapproved 3 times since it was using "FRAMES of another site" when actually i used affiliate link cloaking software and made it an htm called register.htm.

Go figure i'm kinda done with google so quick to ban and suspend stuff. what is there problem lately?

[glennforum]

Try and audit your domain first it might have been banned by Google for some reason, if not then you can start building backlinks by different link building strategies like blogging, article submission and press releases.

I think some suggestions related to your domain are questionable also there may be the possibility that the domain purchased from the server is under observation by google... there may be plenty of reasons behind the scene.
