Website not appearing anywhere on google
-
Hello, we launched www.comparetravel.ie in June but it is not showing up on google search, we have submitted it to google twice but still no sign of our site.
I thought it would at least show up for the "Compare Travel" search term, it only shows up when you type the full website address into google. Any ideas on what we are doing wrong?
Alll advice greatly appreciated. (The website is Irish based)
Thanks

Google knows it's there, there is no need to re-submit for indexing.

I suggest you start with the basics. Work on keyword optimizing the content of your website, and then building links where you can.
All the best.

Have you been doing link building? My sites seem to get indexed straight away....

There is not one instance of "compare travel" on your homepage.
Doing this is the best way to assure that your site will NEVER rank for "compare travel"

Also, it's only a 11 page site with poor SEO, it takes more to rank for a moderately competitive keyword than having it in your domain name.
FYI, pull your CSS code out of the body of your page and reference it in an include file.

Hi,
I understand that "Compare Travel" is your brand, but I would think, that would be at least a moderately competitive keyword, so just existing would not dictate a high position. (until you establish yourself as the "brand" compare travel - which is tough, cause compare travel to what and how?
I also, am not sure that "Compare Travel" would be interpreted as a brand signal, right off the bat either.

This just seems like a list of keywords, with your "Brand" thrown in (you even have a similar keyword to "Compare Travel" in your title, not helping your Brand Distinction (in my opinion)

I have a similar situation with my website. I have submitted it to Google once in Webmaster Toolsbut it only appears when you enter the URL ....a brand name search doesnt dictate a position in the SERPs.
Its been live for around 2 months now. Im sure most answers will be to be patient...but its hard! Relying on PPC for brand searches at the moment which isnt ideal.

How To Encourage Google To Discover Links?
I got a valuable backlink from a high authority website (MSN), but the link is placed in the middle of a slideshow with 20 pictures, and the only way to reach it is by clicking through the slideshow. After 6 months, this link still hasn't been noticed by Moz or Semrush, and I assume Google hasn't seen it either, because it's in the middle of a slideshow. Is there any way to encourage Google to find this link? Or am I all out of luck?

Should I interlink all the websites my company owns?
Our company has several websites where visitors can request quotes for home improvement. I'm thinking of making each site deeplink to each of our other sites, to create more linking domains and make all our sites help each other. Is this a good idea? Or will Google recognize that i'm only promoting our own websites and see this as a bad thing?

Will Google penalize for redirects related to a company merger?
Company A is set to acquire Company B. As part of the merger agreement, Company A will be redirecting the linking domains of Company B's website (over 1,000 links) to company A's website. Will Google penalize Company A for redirecting Company B's 1,000 linking domains to Company A's website at one time? If so, would it be better for Company A to redirect Company B's 1,000 linking domains in waves?
