Why Can't I Get on Google?

[mrjgardiner]

I've employed many of the suggestions of SEOMoz and getting a Grade "A" on a particular keyword. I'm now #4 on Yahoo and Bing. However, my site hasn't cracked the top 50 in Google. Why? I see a similar pattern with other keywords, many on yahoo and bing but only a few of my subpages get #45-48 on Google.

Any ideas?

Hi Jeremy,

I think you need to look at links to your website now, just because you have got a grade A with your on page factors you need to now gain links to this well optimized content to show Google its worthiness of ranking well. I would suggest looking at the different link building strategies to get some ideas on where to improve things. Gaining links will increase your sites authority which will help it to improve in the rankings on Google. Also remember when building links it is about quality rather than quantity in this climate. Also remember just because your site has a grade A from the ranking tool does this grade A look natural or does it look over optimised for the keyword you are targeting?

here is a good Q&A on link building - http://www.seomoz.org/q/drowning-in-a-sea-of-link-building-advice

There are lots more on the this section and the blog if you have a search.

Hope this helps!
