      Hey all,

      I've seen a few posts like this. But I wanted to start a new thread in hopes I may find the underlying issue.

      I've had my site: http://www.ctrl-alt-success.com for about 2 years. Recently I've started really adding a lot of content to it. (about 2-3 posts a week).

      I get zero organic views which is fine as I know it's still in the beginning. But here's my  main question.

      If I type "ctrl-alt-success" into google. I get some site that shows up. "ctrlaltsuccess.com"

      I've been looking at this issue forever. That site has been "coming soon" for nearly 2 years. lol

      My site doesn't even show up on the first 10 pages of google. However in Bing and Yahoo it ranks on the first page.

      What could my site be doing wrong that it's not even ranking for the exact domain name?

      Keep in mind, if I google "ctrl-alt-success.com" my site comes up fine.

      Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

        A quick glance of your site passes the eye test.

        1. It's not set to NoIndex
        2. It's not blocking search engines via robots.txt
        3. Blog posts appear to be unique content and indexed
        4. Backlink profile is not spammy, in fact, nearly non-existent

        If I had to take a guess after 5 minutes of research, I think you simply need to get a few more links to your site to get it ranking.

          You may also want to go into your Google Webmaster Tools and "Fetch As Google".

          Open your GWT > Click Crawl > Select "Fetch as Google". If you want Google to fetch your homepage you can leave the URL field blank and just click fetch.
