      Hello,

      Our website wingmancondoms.com (a new condom brand) is not ranking in Google on the keywords "wingman condom", and I don't know why. In Yahoo and Bing everything is allright.

      I saw on this forum that it is maybe best to change my language URL's to wingmancondoms.com/nl /de and /fr instead of a direct URL like http://www.wingmancondoms.com/wingman-kondome (german translation). But is this our problem or are there more problems. Google is indexing our page well, no errors etc.

      Any other possibilities?

        Hi,

        Although the site has some incoming links and some DA based on OSE, the links are not the omnes I would die / kill for.

        You have 0 organic visibility forthe domain in US, NL and DE  - I 've only tested those 3.

        So the bottom line is that your site, even if indexed (over 100 pages) and as you said with no issues there is basically no reason for the site to rank.

        The site is not new and for this reason is indeed a little weird not to rank for the "brand name". Although for the  brand there are several other results in serps.

        Personally I would focus on link building . quality over quantity of course .. 3-5 good links not 1000 spammy ones. I would also look for EMD issues.

        If you are safe on the content side and everything also it dosen't hurt to send a reconsideration request  it can't harm you . just to make sure there are no manual filters attached.

        Just some ideas and opinions - hope it helps.

            Hi eyepaq,

            Two questions I thought I understood but don't know exactly what you mean:

            1. What kind of issues do you mean by EMD (= exact match domain I presume) issues?

            2. I don't know what you mean by "manual filters attached".

            Thanks for the help!

            Job
