      Our site is about 4 months old now, although the domain is older. We are adding fresh new content, building good facebook/twitter/Goolge+ and undertaking good PR - but our ranking does not seem to be improving at all. Have I missed something obvious????

      Thanks.

        What search terms are you optimizing for? I will have a look and let you know why if you want?

        I have had a look at your link profile, and I would expect you to be ranking for some terms by now -

        This is your report from opensite explorer:

        Domain Metrics:

        | Domain Authority |
        | 33/100 |

        Page Metrics: Just-Discovered Links index updated continuously. Last Mozscape index update: June 26, 2013. Next Mozscape index update: July 24, 2013.

        | Page Authority | Linking Root Domains | Total Links | Facebook Shares | Facebook Likes | Tweets | Google +1s |
        | 44/100 | 48 | 1,335 | 71 | 355 | 4 | 87 |

        • although you could do with a few more root domains linking to your site!

        Anyway, let me know what terms you are targeting and I will have a look 🙂

          I'm sure you will get some more advice but I would take a look at your link profile and all the sponsored links you have.  They should be no-follow - http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/a-reminder-about-selling-links.html

            Hi Jason,

            It looks like you're off to quite a start but you still have a long way to go.  Keep in mind that pagerank should not be the metric you focus on--it should be traffic and pagerank doesn't increase your traffic, content does--shared and linked-to traffic, that is. It's great to use your social channels and public relations but that's not enough.  If your content is not currently being shared and/or linked to in numbers similar to that of your competitors, you've got to figure out why and make changes there.

            With a quick look at your back links and your content quality, I'd say you're going to need to up your investment in your content.  Figure out a way to make it engageable and share-able, watch this video   If this is the industry you chose for your business, it's going to pay to be an authority in it to publish content that shows you're an authority. Focus on increasing and tracking those social stats for the next year or two and you'll start to see changes.
