Not getting ranks for long tail keywords

[seoss5]

Hi I started white hat linkbuilding for this site - http://www.capsulekratom.com/ since 2-3 months, but I havent got any ranks for my keywords. Whereas I started few other new sites along with this on same niche and they are growing both in terms of traffic and ranks. Not sure, why I am not getting ranks for this website. Any help wud be appreciated. Thanks Mark

It looks like you're a PRO user. I'd recommend going to the Keyword Difficulty Tool and typing in your primary keyword. Let's assume it's "kratom capsules."

The other websites ranking for that keyword are also exact or partial match domains (meaning they also have keywords in the domain name) - so you're roughly equal on that, although the exact match domain will have an advantage over you.

Once you load up the keyword difficulty report, compare yourself on each metric reported for the other websites. Your PA and DA are getting there, but still likely too low compared to the other results showing up.

Take a look at the link building being done by competitors. Try to copy any decent links, skip the spammy looking links, and think of way to get some links that they don't have. For your head terms (the shorter and more competitive terms you want to target), you'll need to build more links to have a shot. Long tail content for obscure keywords will be easier once you produce more ongoing content.

Also, it appears you're trying to target 3 terms with the homepage: "Kratom capsules | Buy Kratom capsules |Kratom for Sale - Capsulekratom.com" - Try aiming for one keyword per page. The three keywords in your title tag should really be 3 separate pages - only one of which can be the homepage.

If you're really taking a long-term approach to this site, I'd focus on creating content that your competitor's may not be investing in. Try soliciting "experience reports" from your buyers, similar to what is published on Erowid: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=58314. That's the type of content that people will want to read through before they try something experimental like this, and if you're soliciting that type of content from your existing customers you'll be producing lots of unique content. You might even offer to ship a couple extra capsules if someone submits a report of more than 200 words.
