Little Miss T Shirts from Junk Food

For little miss t shirts this is #1 on yahoo but way, way down on google. Have they penalised me for trying too hard with my keywords? How can I up it on Google?

I only have a couple of inbound links to it, so is that why? I know that I also need to finish a couple of the pages (accessories and little bit), is that why?

What about the design? Somebody said they found the buy now button confusing - should I change it to buy now from...?

TIA

Google does rank sites on age, so after the initial google love when the site is new it does take a while to make its way up the rankings. All depends on what sites you are competing against.

My sites that are a year old rank higher than my 6 month old sites on the same keywords.

Yes I agree - Google takes age of domain seriously. Yahoo reward new sites very quickly, it's the same with some of my sites. Just give it time and keep building up links.

I suggest using ALT tags on your images - google don't take much notice but yahoo love it.
