Get into Google : New Sites
-
I have a brand new website. It was created 10 days ago. How long would it take for it to show up in search results?
I understand that since the site is new, there are no sites sending it backlinks. Also, i have optimized the page for my keyword "xyz" and it received an A grade. The site does not figure even in the top 50 results.
Please help me out. It is a one page web application that needs to drive traffic to survive.

I submitted my site using GWT Fetch as Google feature.
I understand that it takes time. Does Google prevent new domains from figuring in the search results ? It doesn't bother me since the site is just 12 days old. But i want to make sure i do it right so that eventually Google will send me search traffic.

Hi Surya,
Are you sure that your site is already indexed, if you haven't been indexed yet you probably also won't show up in the search results for the keywords you'd like. Also ranking for a specific keyword is not something that is going to happen over night. It sometimes could take weeks to see any differences in the rankings.

Hi Martijn!
I have submitted the sitemap to Google and Bing. Even though it makes no sense for a one page website, i have done it. I have registered with GWT, BWT. Optimized the page for the keywords i am targeting using Moz tools.
What i have noticed is that, my site does NOT figure ( ranking comes into picture when it figures in the search results, first ) in the search results for any of those keywords.
Is there something else that i must fix? Or is it normal for this to happen for new sites?

The site i am trying to optimize is a single page web application as opposed to a blog or an informational website. Have a look at it, if you haven't already.
I agree that backlinks are a must. I am working on it. Thanks for your inputs.

Hi Surya,
Register your sites with both Google and Bing Webmaster Tools. This will give you the ability to upload your XML sitemaps and in most cases will speed up the process of crawling your site as you give Google a direct indication where it can find your content.

Had i been on your side - i would have thought of adding relevant articles - user friendly content and social fees
Search Engine will themselves crawl on site from 1 week to 4 weeks - but crawling or having A grade does not guarantee you a place on top - 10. It may take time and till that happens - you can focus on doing just one thing
- Content Building
Adding on links or backlink should always be secondary and be performed once the site has recognizable user friendly content

Is a new website the only way to get better rankings?
Our website is https://www.franklin-bell.com.au. For a while now we've been trying to get a few of our pages on there to get a better rank on google. A local SEO agency told us that some of our pages are not like "the modern standard" for web pages, but our page score for the keywords we want is 90% and higher. Do we really need to completely rebuild the website (it was built in 2014) in order to get better rankings? Or is it sufficient to have the 97% page score and then just get some back links and social media referrals etc. Thanks in advance.

Moz vs google data conflict?
Hi there, I am doing an SEO site audit for a client(giveaway, and here is the problem: when performing site:domain.com on google --> 13,800 pages were found When I see this number it seems to be a bit too much compare to the links i checked on integrity(link check for broken links) which gave me a result of 1291. I digged in more into the Google results and saw hundreds(maybe thousands) of pages that are blocked by robots.txt. So I am thinking, ok this is it, thousands of pages can't be crawled by the search engines. Here is the big BUT though, then I check at my moz crawl (see attachment) and no pages are blocked by the SEs, and then look at the dups, only 23 recorded?? Is Moz not crawling properly the 13,800 results that google finds or is this some magical phenomenon happening here? I am really confused here that is why I need some help here! Thank you guys!

In Open Site Explorer is it possible to use wildcards?
If I have a section on my website called lists with articles in there can I use wildcards in Open Site Explorer to find how many backlinks all articles in that section have - and ideally which pages are most linked to? Something like www.example.com/lists/* to give number of backlinks to all articles in that website section and which are the most highly linked to. Would be a great feature to have! Cheers Siimon

Apparent discrepancy on overseas Google results in Rankings
Probably a very noob question this ... I'm based in the UK and have just set up a campaign which includes Google US. There seems to be a discrepancy between some of the rankings found by SEOMOZ and what I see when I simulate the actual search using Adwords > Ad Preview. For example, a particular term shows "not in the top 50" for Google US on the rankings page of my campaign in SEOMOZ. But my US colleagues say that when they run the search they see us on page 1. And when I simulate the search via Adwords Preview, I also see our site ranking well on page 1. I'd like to understand why the discrepancy 🙂 Thanks for any advice. Gord

Why does site explorer keep crashing?
For around the last 24 hours, every time I run site explorer it gets to just over a quarter of the way through and then just stops. I've tried this with different sites and it makes no difference. Although this is the first time I've had this problem (I don't use the tool regularly myself) one of my colleagues says it often happens to her. Is this a problem SEOmoz can explain and/or fix?

Does Open Site Explorer violate Google's Terms of service?
According to Google's Webmaster Guidelines: "Don't use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service." Does that mean Open Site Explorer is a violation of those Terms of Service, or is it authorized?

Open Site Explorer Page Authority
Hello, I ran a report on my website at http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.carrentalbuddy.com.au and noticed my page authority went to 1. I also noticed a lot of our results that were showing high page authority have dropped right down. I checked other sites and they all seemed fine but was wondering if this is a open site explorer issue or a a www.carrentalbuddy.com.au issue? Kindest Regards, Chris
