What do you think of my site? Any improvements? x

Question

I've made a site that compares mobile broadband and am not getting anywhere in organic Google/Yahoo searches.

The other sites that come up before mine are absolutely pants design wise. I'm releasing articles on a regular basis, the meta data is alright, I'm also working on buidling page rank slowly but surely...I'm starting to get a little frustrated after four months of working solid.

Any suggestions from you IT technical wizards/marketing geniuses to improve this?

Many thanks

Answer 1

OK. So it looks good.Now I have been looking for a cheap mobile broadband service for about 6 months. It is for occasional use; When I am driving to work I might get a phone call from a client wishing to buy shares. So very occasional I would need to log onto my shre price system via phone or laptop.

I am already on mobile service with T-Mob so i would want to upgrade, probably with them.

P.S. What's 5gb for £15 month? You have so much potential here. If you know anything about mobile broadband why not show it?

I look at a website like yours and want someone to give me the best, cheapest option/s available at the moment, giving me the pros and cons. Do I find that on your website, easily? I don't think so. Why not think what your likely customer wants and then provide the answer? If your site said to me; Yes, you need xyz, because of so and so, it's £10 a month.. Iwould sign up, wouldn't I?

Create satellite sites to link to your main site, update your main site fairly regulary (google looks for this) get your site on high ranking directories etc (download google toolbar this will tell you any particular pages rank). The above will help your natural (organic) listing to rise quicker

Whilst you are waiting for your organic listing to rise, invest in google pay per click to get your site into the top three

edit - Then maybe you have to spend some money on pay per click til your site rises, have you created clone sites of your own to link to yours?

edit - And you do have to give it longer than a few months after a year you should see yourself listed on th first page and high up if you continue what you are doing

Answer 3

I always thought you had to pay for high ranking - if not, it was a case of waiting till they trawled for you.  

Answer 4

i thought it was awesome.  

Answer 5

My first guess is that your content is not "unique"  Google is now searching it's billions of pages and data- and penalizing websites for duplicate content.  If you have any content that you picked up from Private label articles or the like- that will cost you.  Also- they go by how long the site has been around.

Fresh content is also a biggie. You might want to start writing your own reviews.

Good Luck.

i have over 3years experience in online marketing and your site looks heres some tips from a guru not some next man that thinks he knows -

There are lots and lots of ways to get traffic. The fastest ways are to pay for it. But there are lots of cheap/free ways to get traffic too, but they take longer to work (and they take a lot more effort on your part) so it's a trade off.

Article marketing is good, but you have to have around 200 articles out there before you start to see some good returns in terms of traffic.

Blogging is a good way to get traffic, because posts can get picked up in the search engines and other blogs (if you market yourself correctly) will begin to link back to you.

Social media sites, like Digg, Delicious, Myspace, Friendster, Facebook, etc. can give you traffic if you know what you're doing.

Collect backlinks to drive your site up in the search engines.

Post on other people's related blogs and forums and have links to your site in the signature file.

Post ads on craigslist advertising your stuff.

Learn to use Yahoo SM and MSN ad center. Also check out Adbrite and other banner networks.

Join free banner exchanges and get your banner ads to show on other people's sites for free.

Trade links with other merchants.

Negotiate joint ventures with other merchants/affiliates in your market.

Recruit affiliates to get them to start sending traffic to your site (if you're an affiliate, you can recruit other affiliates to promote YOU if you offer a cost-per-lead program. This is something lots of people aren't doing.)

You can go offline and post ads in classified sections of newspapers. You can also do radio and TV ads, magazine ads, and newspaper ads.

Direct mail - always a good one.

Do interviews on podcasts and radio shows.

Create videos to put up on YouTube and other video sites that drive traffic back to your links.

Need I go on?

Have you created and submitted a sitemap to Google? That greatly helps. Do you have any website or any partner sites willing to link to you, that will also help a great deal.
