What is Stopping You From Getting High Google Rankings?

May 12, 2009

Getting your site ranked highly on Google and the other search engines depends on a range of different factors. If you are not seeing your site anywhere in the Google listings there could be a number of reasons why you are not getting results. If you have been putting a lot of hard work into your SEO campaigns and you are not seeing any improvements there may be something that is thwarting your efforts.

If your site has duplicated content throughout its pages, this could be one reason why you are being ignored by Google. Get your site filled with original, informative and relevant content.

If your site has ever been flagged up for spamming in the past then this could be stopping you from achieving good rankings. If this is the case you need to make sure your have removed all trace of the offending spam from your site.

If your website has got absolutely no links coming in to it then you will probably never get your site into the rankings so you need to get busy with the linking. Having said that, if you are getting numerous incoming links it will only really be of benefit if they are from good quality sites. Also, having links from other sites that are relevant to your area of business will be even better to help you improve your search engine rankings.

If there is too much competition for your chosen keywords climbing in the rankings could be a never ending task and you may never get there. Research your keywords and focus on using the ones that have less competition and will give you more of a chance of getting listed high up in the rankings.

Organic SEO by its nature takes time but if you have been working at it for a long time with no results you maybe need to think about if you are doing it right.
