| What am I doing wrong? Google isn't ranking me very high at all.
I have ran the vbseo site map for a long time. Updated to the newest version. I checked the email and got this information Hello! The vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap has been successfully generated for your vBulletin forums at: Sports Card Freaks Forums (Sports Card Freaks Forums) Report: ============================ Click the following link for your vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Report: vBSEO Google / Yahoo Sitemap for vBulletin Summary: ============================ Forum Display: 922 Show Thread: 24678 Show Post: 144226 Member Profiles: 1956 Poll Results: 82 Archive: 139 Total Indexed URLs: 172004 Total Processing Time: 66.51 seconds Google ping: Successful. Yahoo ping: Successful. So it looks like everything is getting put up. I did a search with googlerankings.com for the keyword of sports card forum which is my sites main category. It should show up I would think in the first 1000 sites. Well it doesn't show up at all in that search. It hasn't ranked in the top 1000 since I started the forum and it has been around for about 6 months. It also has a page rank of 1/10 but I have been told that it has dropped signifcantly recently. I really just don't understand why I can't get any results on google. I do not think I have been blacklisted, but I would like to know how to tell. Thanks ahead of time, please let me know what I should look at. |

I have googled and found that if I check in the webmaster toolkit on google that it will tell me if I am blacklisted or not. I have found nothing that says I am. So I assume I am not. Does anyone know if this works for sure.

FYI - You have blocked the actual content behind registrations google needs content. Since you are new site it would take you some time to get on top results, try getting relevant links. Another suggestion, I just found some of your URLs are too lengthy. Sports Card Freaks Forums *127 chars* theoratically serps like upto 128 chars in URL including the domain name, but yours is a very new site ! Give yourself some more time. |

so do i need to find a way to limit the sizes of urls down, and if so how do you do it in VBSEO. Also my site has been around for awhile, not for years, but long enough that I think I should be ranked higher.
