sudsnwicks Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Congrats on your high rankings in MSN! Now if I can get the same results in google, I would be set:shocked2:Yeah, I wish this too. I have a similar problem - you can find me in MSN but not in Google. This frustrates me because I know most people (including myself) use Google. I never use MSN when I'm looking for something.

daniedb Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Good for you! I love it when hard work pays off, I'm so impressed. I have also found that Google is so very difficult to optimize for. I get SEO newsletters from a few different sources, and everyone agrees that Google makes no sense and is incredibly difficult to target for rank. I hope you see much increased traffic to your site because of your success! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 nice work i know how much time i spent in front of my computer back when i had my other website just for that damn search engine ranking, hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 That's great! Google is a tough nut to crack. I only get to the first page if you look for meadowfoam soap (like someone's going to be searching for that lol) or southern oregon soap. I'm working on "rice bran oil soap" now - grrr I'm on page 6 of google... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebcandles Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'm working on "rice bran oil soap" now - grrr I'm on page 6 of google...Thats awesome! If you type in olive oil lotion in google, Im on page 1 (number 3). I think thats pretty good but how many people would type in "olive oil lotion" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeana Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Is yahoo the same way? I never use Google, I only use Yahoo. Where do you guys fall in line with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyna Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I was shocked that my very amateur site comes up #4 on Google if you search for handmade soaps and the name of my town. #7 on Google search for lotion and the name of my town. Unfortunately, I don't think too many people are going to search for Handmade soap from my little town of 5,000:p Marilyna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Unfortunately, I don't think too many people are going to search for Handmade soap from my little town of 5,000 MarilynaSomeone who knows who you are but can't remember the exact name of your store will do such a search. And they may not necessarily be from your little town. I'm not highly ranked but try to look on the bright side while working on becoming more easily found.Jeana - I would say Yahoo is in between Google and MSN. I can find myself on Yahoo but don't get many hits from there, probably because most potential visitors use a different search engine.

epheme Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 how long does it take for rankings to rise, anyway? I don't understand Google's algorithm very well, and it seems hopeless to even try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 It takes a while so you just have to be patient. I can't figure out Google's search method either, because I can type in one phrase in MSN and be on the 1st page, yet type in the same phrase in Google and can't seem to be found at all. Additionally, Google doesn't seem to index as often as MSN does, meaning any changes you make will take longer to be reflected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
