In progress At a loss with Google search

Post by AndyT306 January 17th 2013, 10:19 am

My forum is: http://xboxproleagueracing.forumotion.co.uk

The site is submitted to google, i've done:
meta-tags
sitemap

Google webmaster is crawling the site daily, and bringing back the keywords i would want it to for google search - and yet the site has 0 search queries


Anything else anyone can suggest?

Getting a site to show up high on the list of Google results is very difficult to do. Generally, I've never had much luck with it myself because the websites I have experience in tend to be smaller in general. One of the best things you can do is post links on other sites. A great way to do this is to link to your site in your signature at other forums. Google pagerank is influenced heavily on the number of backlinks to your site it can find, and signature links at a wide range of websites can be a great way to build your backlinks count.

Some forums also have an "other sites" board somewhere on their site where users can advertise their own sites. This is another way to get backlinks. The more backlinks you can get to your site, the better it will likely show in Googles search engine results.

Hopefully someone can come behind me with a more practical solution. Razz

Get a custom domain, it can increase the chances of more google queries.
