I need to optimise my ranking in google, and as soon as possible, but how?

Question

I have a translating website and I am currently using google adwords to advertise it. I also really want my website to come up on google near the top when someone searches "translating", when you type in the name of my website "linguauk" then my site comes up 4th and but i want it to come up when you type in translating, I know that is a very competitive word, but how is it possible, i know it is because other sites have done it. Please look at my website www.linguauk.com

Thanks for comments

Answer 2

Your search results assumes that your domain name "linguauk" is a major "brand," which it is not.  You have to place yourself into the mindset of a prospective client who doesn't know your business entity, much less the exact name of it.  It would be reasonable to believe that a search query would begin with generic words and phrases such as "translating document(s)" followed by a "business location" such as "Plymouth, United Kingdom."  Unfortunately, no such "keywords" are placed in the beginning <title> nor in the following <keywords> or <description>.  Instead, the <keywords> metatag is filled with duplicate [spamdexed ] entries such as "translating (10 duplicate entries); "translation (4 duplicatesentries).  Spamdexed entries are heavily penalized by a lower PR [Page Rank] on Google and Yahoo search engines/directories.

In conclusion, it is highly recommended that your remove the spamdexed/duplicate entries and to vastly improve your visibility on major search engines, edit your <title> metatag as follows:

<title>Translating Business Documents Italian, French, English | Plymouth, United Kingdom [do not abbreviate]</title>

Good luck!

Answer 6

Wow, 4th position when searching for a keyword in your domain name, that's harsh. You need to concentrate on developing as many incoming links as possible from other websites. This will improve your site popularity, which will improve your ranking. Try getting your chosen keyword placed in the links back. Other than that, you could also have a look at your websites design and think of ways of improving your keyword count. You won't ever achieve a top ranking for "translate", as there are over 104 million (104,000,000) pages competing for that.

Answer 7

You need to build your backlinks as well as optimizing your on-site content - keep in mind - you will not see results over night. You are competing against over 18 million pages for that keyword phrase, so you should plan on working on it for a year or more before seeing your site on the first page.

Answer 8

Here is a checklist, with 6 main steps:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/13143/SEO-Docu...

It also describes a few things to understand about how Google in particular works when ranking pages.

basically it's like this:

1 - determine your best keywords

2 - create pages with content using your keywords

3 - create metadata (title, header, etc) with your keywords

4 - Have a sitemap page, and link pages to home and home to pages

5 - Submit your site to search engines (you don't need to for Google, they will find you)

6 - get set up on a link exchange program

I've tried it, and it works,

Answer 9

Most of the answers here ARE good, including the back links and the tags, but also important is a site map. Look, I have been through the meat grinder on this SEO topic. I have found a couple of no-bull sites for serious people that want to jam the search engines with everything they need to make the sites fly to the top:

LeadMaverick.com

dbcanvas.com

Good luck  

Answer 10

I use autosurf programs like http://www.topsurfing.net to get free hits to your site. They help a lot in getting your website higher in the search engines. I have never paid for any advertising and my sites do well in search engines.

Answer 11

Back link is good but if you are not an expert ,its better to engage some SEO company or you can even try CPC ( cost per click) ads so you can increase traffic to your website. or swap the link with other website owners who are not your direct competitors.
