Rod – It sounds like your site either isn’t spidered very often by the googlebot, or you haven’t set up a good internal linking structure so the googlebot can’t find your content.

It could also be that your competitor has a lot more authority that your site does so they naturally attract the googlebot on a more regular basis.

Yaro,

Just found your site and I agree with the other postings – you should be in the biz!

I had a question about blogs. One of our competitors just launched a “blog” – I use the quotes because it isn’t really a blog (I can send you the link offline), per se, because they don’t actually offer the opportunity to actually post relpies or subscribe to a feed. It’s simply a page titled “Blog.”

My frustration is that we frequently publish updates – announcements, press releases, etc. on our site and externally linking back, and they rarely if ever get picked up by Google on my keyword alert, but when our competitor’s “blog” content is updated, it shows up the next day.

Any thoughts? Your insight would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Rod

Fabi – You have good timing. Just this morning I heard rumors that the doors will open again soon.

I don’t know when or any more details than that, but it will happen.

Well done Yaro. It’s quite ironic the fact that you don’t sell yourself on your SEO abilities yet you beat StomperNet to the table… No doubt Aaron is right – There must be a future out there for you in SEO.

Thanks Adam.

I certainly have plans to get some SEO content out there for people but it’s a case of priorities at the moment.

I’m impressed with your optimization. Have you done a blog on that yet? Perhaps you could even go into the business. People charge a lot of money for that.

Dave,

I wouldn’t worry about the branding issue by not having the business name in the title tag. I assume you are saying you are using your business name in other marketing materials and you expect your brand to become better known and eventually something people will go online to search for. I’m pretty confident since your site is a PR 7 that no one is going to out rank you for the term RedFlyStudios – also because it’s your domain name.

The title tag is worth focusing 100% on SEO keywords in your case I believe. You can get the branding elements into your page design and all the other content of your page, so I’d consider dropping it from your title tag area altogether and just have the keywords. You might be surprised how much better a position one rank does for your lead generation compared to your current position of five in Google.

And, heh, if this page did out rank yours for your terms (which it won’t of course) I wouldn’t worry since the links point to your site eventually anyway so if there was a targeted reader they would find your website.

So how on earth did you manage to get your site to a PR 7?

Hey Yaro,
Thank you very much for your reply. I can now go off topic…becasue you did

You are dead right, but company name and branding are important to me. I will give the Web Design Ireland – RedFlyStudios option a go and see how it goes.

Man, I hope this page doesn’t rank for that or I’ll kill you! LOL
