Google Issues

Hi it has been a week I have done what people have suggested and have also added a site map but my site does not come up in google when I search for it. Can someone please help. What am I doing wrong?

what are you searching for exactly ?

You have 843 links in Google

I don't think that you are doing anything 'wrong', I think you may be expecting more than is possible and probably need to do some reading. Don't take the following the wrong way, but....

Your site is only a month old.
You are selling a generic product for which there is a lot of competition.

Your site is in google and will appear in the search results, but because of the above two issues to begin with you are likely to be on something like page 50.

With my first shop I spent literally hundreds of hours reading and learning about SEO and then modifying the shop to improve my chances. It was very tedious but had to be done.

To have any success you need to you need to consider and understand your Meta title and descriptions, keywords, keyword density, unique written content, backlinks, sitemaps, web master tools, URLS, page speed, internal linking, page layout, link/anchor text, page rank and so on....

There really is no good shortcut (well, there are shortcuts but it is unwise to use them), it is a matter of time and hard work - you can't just upload a shop site and expect to be on the first three pages of google overnight and selling stuff; you are going to have to read up on SEO (there is a weath of information out there) and probably spend many hours fine tuning your shop and the products within it.

It's a massive topic and with the best will in the world you can't expect people here to hold your hand and walk you through it all - what you need to be doing is is to find out what you need to do to improve your SEO and if that requires some alteration to your shop then those are the questions to ask around here.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but there really is no substitute to learing and understanding. Creating and uploading the shop is the easy bit - getting people there and buying things is the hard bit and the bit that takes all the time and effort.

I can't vouch for this in anyway what-so-ever, but I found that using google adwords seemed to do something...? Chances are you can find a voucher to get you going.

Surprisingly, although 99% of it is complete lies (you know, the type of people that sell you their "I sold my toe nail clippings using google and now I'm a billionaire - you can be too if you sign up here" nonsense), reading up on 'internet marketing' can be very useful.

Thank you so much for you time and effort in replying I will for sure get reading and am not scared of hard work. Thanks again any titles you would recommend?

I can't recommend anything largely because it was so long ago I can't remember.

I simply started at a blank google screen and went from there. I did not part with any money.

Try starting at 'seo articles' and go from there....

I did however, and some may think I'm slightly mad, sign-up to quite a large number of 'internet marketing' sales sites to get some of thier free stuff and some it was actually very good. I suggest using a throw away email address though.

I think that may be true. In any case - Google adwords are not expensive, and will kick start any commercial website IMO. Not everyone will agree with me though.

For some good free reading on SEO, you can't beat Google's own guide, on .PDF

...it's a starter guide, as it says, but the info is on good authority..
