Quick google question for all you seo experts

**SIMONR85** · 06-06-06

good afternoon everybody!!

sorry if this is posted in the wrong area but unsure were to post this question, so here i go anyway.

if my site can be found in googles index (ie. when i search url:www.freeuksimcards.co.uk) and it brings up my website. does this mean my site can be found on google for a keyword???

my website has been up for about 2months and thought it took a year before google started returning search results for new sites. i am not recieving any traffic from google at the moment and wasnt sure if my seo was rubbish for my keywords or if it was physically impossible for my site to be found on a search for a certain keyword until the sandbox mode is over.

If your site shows up for a site:mydomain.com search then you are NOT banned. Therefore your site could and should show up for keywords.

However, the sandbox filter means that sites generally WONT rank for high competition keywords for the first 9-12 months. I suggest you start aiming for low competition keywords and build up from there.

cheers deano, but How do i know which are less competitive keywords???

and how i do i know i am improving my search ranking?? at the moment i can only get ranked for keyphrases in inverted commas which nobody will probably ever search for. will google notice the changes to my site as soon as i make changes??? sorry there is lots of questions but google SEO looks really complex

Hi Simon,
You need to add more content (Content is King) to your site that includes the keywords for sticky content. When I tried to google cache your site.. nothing came up.. but in your forum you had 2.... your site to google, looks like a banner farm.
