        Do they have keyword domains?

        Quite new?

        Do they rank in Bing as well as google?

        I find that google ranks these sites very well, for a period and slowly catches up on them, but by that time, theer may be more.

        I assume this is your site http://www.smokelessdelite.com/

        A few things you can do, is get rid of the flash on your homepage, they impress no one these days and are not liked by SE's.

        I found thousonds of un-necessary redirects each one leaking link juice, why not link to the destination directly? Is this a WordPress site? they arer famouse for this problem
        The link to "http://www.smokelessdelite.com/index.php" has resulted in HTTP redirection to "http://www.smokelessdelite.com/".

        My advice, not always appreciated, if you are making money on the internet, get a custom made website if you really want to rank, you will make up the cost in extra sales.
        you can rank with a CMS but its a lot harder.

          Good advice from Alan!

          Quick one from me: report the spam sites to Google 🙂 https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreport?hl=en

              What people call a developer these days, is someone who can configure a

              CMS. Dont be limited by the developers short commings. Get someone who can make things by hand. then you will not get cornered in
