      Hi,

      I have a site called www.emv-cards.com but the site has a very poor showing on Google for the search term 'emv cards' and this does not make sense to me.  It has position #6 on Bing but is not in Google's top 50.

      Any assistance would be appreciated.

      regards,

      George.

          I think it's because you do not have enough domain strength, domain authority / backlinks etc. I see that the site / domain was registered in March. I would continue to work on content as well as some links/citations and don't do everything / every link with your keyword "EMV Cards". Do variants.

            Every one knows about the penguin updates therefore we use  branded keywords for  getting higher priority by search engine. Your keyword is "EMV Cards " you can use different variation of this keyword and one of the most important thing is your targeted keyword is not in H1 tag so add it and also increase keyword density and more fresh content about the "EMV Cards " so after these changes your keyword definitely push-up in search engine ranking.

              When I take a quick look at the site, I'm seeing very little in terms of unique content. I grabbed a phrase from the first two articles in the news section, and they appear to be copies of other articles. A new wordpress blog nobody has heard of is going to have a very hard time outranking the Wall Street Journal by copying their articles.

              Turned around -- why should Google be ranking this site?
