    Google not indexing my sites

    Ive been running VBSEO now for over 1 year on Bluepearl-design.com , ive been getting heaps of traffic from every search engine except Google..

    In yahoo, MSN, AltaVista i am number 1 for the search term "free vbulletin templates" but in google i am not even in the top 200

    AltaVista Search: free vbulletin templates

    Live Search: free vbulletin templates

    free vbulletin templates - Yahoo! Search Results

    free vbulletin templates - Google Search=

    Been playing with keywords etc for months now and nothing has worked, seems google just hates my site

    I am not an SEO expert by any means, but having 10 forums all using the same description (free vbulletin templates) probably isn't a good thing. I think you are concentrating too hard on the keywords here. Use your descriptions for an actual description of each forum.

    you can put "vbulletin template" at the end of the forum titles, (Darkness Vbulletin Template), and make your forum titles/thread titles h1's.

    Hello Mike thanks for your help, the descriptions were only added like that yesterday due to trying to fix this problem. Before today i had descriptions of the templates. But i will change them back cause what u said makes sense.

    The Keywords "free vbulletin templates" was just one example anyways, all of my other major keywords r low for google also.

    I was just hoping that when i installed VBSEO that it would increase my Google search rankings cause i already had high ranking in other search engines, but nothing has seemed to of changed in the last 1 year.

    I'd also suggest turning off your archive links.


    also, work on your non-styled display:

    VBSEO will not help you rank for a key phrase in your title on your home page.

    VBSEO helps get your other pages indexed and helps those pages rank for tail end traffic and phrases on those pages.

    For example i get like 50 hits a day for 'computer forum' because its competitive and currently I don't have as many incoming links pointing to my home page with the phrase in the anchor as my competitors.

    I do however get 1k hits for all my other 15k pages as the words on those pages are less competitive and VBSEO helps those pages rank by indexing them.

    I'm not a SEO expert either but if you want to rank a page in Google for a specific phrase it is well documented that you need incoming links to that page with the phrase in the anchor.

    Google only has one visit on our forums per day. But when he's there, he eats and eats and eats all our content.

    I think you may be under the impression that you should see Google in your stats like Yahoo! Slurp Spiders (750), this does not happen.

    If Google likes your pages etc he will stay all day and night, visiting once and staying.

    Have a look in your Sitemap panel and check how many pages Google has read.

    eg. from ours today

    Google - 6,128
    Yahoo - 972
    MSN - 185
    Others - 55

    http://www.yoururl.com/forum/vbseo_sitemap/index.php is the one I mean.
