      I have a page http://jobs.hays.co.uk/jobs-in-norfolk and it is indexed by Google but will not show up for any keywords I try. Any ideas?

        M,

        You have thrown out such a vague question here and hope you aren't spamming the Moz forum as I see this is your first and only post.

        That being said, I'll try to answer in short if you are looking for serious help... Can you provide more information in order for a Moz member to provide guidance. How long has the page been online? What keywords are you optimizing for? What SEO tactics are you doing specifically for this page? Let's start with that.

        Hope this helps and we look forward to your responses. - Patrick

          How long has the page existed for?

          Have you checked its not ranking at all, or just the top 3 or 4 pages?  Eg. It might be ranking already, just very low. Also, how long has http://jobs.hays.co.uk/ existed for, as currently its not showing any moz metrics.

            Hi, thanks for your responses.  It's been live for almost a month now.  I can't find words that rank in top 50 for this page. I was hoping it would appear somewhere with the content that it currently has and wondering if there is some penalty that is not showing in the Webmaster tools.

              Hello S_Curtis,

              Has this issue been resolved or is it still an open question?
