dansino Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi I installed the Ultimate SEO urls, Dynamic Sitemap and Header tag SEO on website www.officeconsumables.com.au , Thanks chemo, Todd and Jack for the fantastic contributions. here I want to talk about the google serching and Optimizations. 1, when I go to the google by using firefox, search for the website name: officeconsumables.com.au, I got this result: Your search - officeconsumalbes.com.au - did not match any documents. :huh: why I can not find my website in the google? What I need to do more to let my website recognised by google? 2, when I search the keywords which is as same as my title of the website by google: "ink toner sydney cheaper price", I got so many pages, and I browsed 10 pages and can not find my website(for more than 10, I think nobody will care), Is that because my website has not be listed in google yet?

Guest Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I don't profess to know much about SEO, but when did you submit your site? A quick search of google using, site:http://www.officeconsumables.com.au gives one result: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site%3Aht...lient=firefox-a Suggesting that you only submitted the site recently.

♥Vger Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 officeconsumalbes.com.au would not return any results anyway, because it appears to be a typo for this name: officeconsumables.com.au The domain was registered less than a month ago. Come back in another 6 months is my advice. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Vger Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 You can easily appear in Google quicker than 6 months In my experience it takes up to 1 month to get Google to spider the index page. It then takes Google another month before it comes back and spiders the other pages. If you used frames, or the Simple Template System, or a splash page in the root with the site in a folder, then Google may never get beyond that index page. But yes, within 2-3 months Google should be spidering away on the website, and if you've installed things like Meta Tags and SEO URLs then you should start getting noticed - IF the keywords on your homepage and in product descriptions match what's in your default and dynamically generated meta tags. If your site has been fully spidered by Google but gets a zero page rank when Google next updates its Page Rank system then you know you're doing something wrong.

Vger Hi Vger, My situation is that I use this domain name last year as a normal site, and stoped for half of a year and renewed and changed to a online shop last month. I installed the Ultimate SEO urls, Dynamic Sitemap and Header tag SEO, not sts. now, the every page is different title and meta tags by using Header tag SEO. based on this, how long you mean the website will be recognised by google, 2 months? for the type of the domain name, officeconsumables.com.au, as it is no this is two words together, is that hard for google to be displayed? Thanks for you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 You do have to give Google time to spider your site, as I have indicated. However, I also have to say that in my experience a .com.au domain is not a great domain type to have. Even if based in Oz you'd probably do better with a .com domain if available - cheaper too!

Vger As a technical view, you are right. But our people used to have a domain name like .com.au, I am afraid oz will think we are a company located in usa if we use .com domain. What I want is let this domain name www.officeconsumables.com.au displayed in the first 2 pages if oz searching the keywords in google.com.au, such as " ink toner " , which is silmilar to our homepage title. Is that possible? now, if searching the keyword: ink toner sydney, we can not find this website after browseing 10 pages( I think after 10, nobody care). Thanks!

sLaV- Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Like everyone has advised, it will take time to get indexed in Google - in the meantime you should REALLY work on your site because looking at your site once people do actually get to it they will leave - Why? - You have NO shipping policy, NO privacy policy & NO terms & conditions, you have NO SSL ... there are more but these are definitely the main concerns!!

Guest Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I read this thread the other day and wanted to add a laugh but didn't, now I will as I have seen it again. I was howling with laughter on checking where my site would appear in Google a while back and typing in the name (not typing it on purpose, you will see why) I got a whole page of links to post on HERE where I had mentioned it in my plea's for help threads :lol: Priceless!! Now a few months on it appears firstly as a direct link on my friends blog posts, then my own blog links and there on its own on page 2 LOL! Getting there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvharrison Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hi all At long last I hope to offer some pearls of wisdom here! ;) First of all, get your site listed either on someone else's website or an online directory (Yahoo, DMOZ niche directory). Basically one that is crawled regularly by Google as this will get you listed much quicker than submitting your website directly to Google. Actually vger had it pretty much spot on. Google Reps do state at conferences to not expect any organic (normal listings rather than CPC) results for about 6-9 months. This can actually be as much as 2 years if you haven't made any effort to optimise your website. Having said that you can also take advantage of Google Shopping (price comparison engine currently in Beta) Starting a link campaign early on with related websites (directories, social bookmarking, article writing) is also a good start. You can easily appear in Google quicker than 6 months. Very true. Especially if you do implement SEO early on. One of my SEO mentors can get his site listed in 3 months. If it helps PM me and I can point you in the direction of some good SEO forums which could also offer a bit more insight.

Guest Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I don't know if this is helpful to you, but I recently advertised on a local radio station's website (CJay 92 in Calgary) and the googlebot has been all over my site lately. If I google "steelsomething" it somes up with tons of pages from my site ( as well as some from here), but it didn't cost much. Stainless steel jewellery is a huge "topic" so I don't expect to show up too high on the list, but it's better than I was before, even after just a week of advertising on the radio station site. I can see that quite a few people have clicked through to my site from that ad, and every click from a legitimate site increases your google rating, as far as I can tell. So even some local advertising could make a difference for you... I hope it helps... Nicole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 More details to clarify, and can someone please tell me if this is weird... The googlebot has been on my site 211 times since I opened it in August of this year. That seems like a bunch to me... And I just googled "stainless steel jewellery" and asked for only pages from Canada, and I was on Page 3. What the heck? I have never even been able to find my site before, because I give up after about page 35, never mind being on page 3... Is it the advertising? I just added meta tags to my site today, so that can't be it... Or is it nothing, and it just goes there 200 times in the first couple months to see if anything is new? It's almost making me paranoid!! haha :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsayanng Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 page 3 is NOT BAD actually.. Plus, just because they are on there doesnt mean that you have a good page ranking, it just means they are indexing.. BACKLINKS are the keys to a higher page ranking.. google (he he) google page rank and see what you get.. there will be a lot of invaluable info.. You will also learn that meta tags mean VERY VERY little in the SEO world.. A great place for newbies to start Road Map to oscommerce File Structure DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP. My time is valuable, unless i ask you to PM me, please dont. You will get better help if you post publicly. I am not as good at this as you think anyways! HOWEVER, you can visit my blog (go to my profile to see it) and post a question there, i will find time to get back and answer you Proud Memeber of the CODE BREAKERS CLUB!!

I do not exist in this realm? **Crying** OK, I give up - what is an API key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
