Why Can't My Ecommerce Site Rank?
-
I've already done the on-site SEO things, URL's are all SEO-friendly, etc AND I've already done a few rounds of link building to some of the interior pages on my site, and I still can't get my site to rank.
What other strategies can I employ to get my site to rank? I don't believe my keywords are that competitive (fleece blankets, baby blankets, etc.)

Hi,
What is the url of the site ?
Also some addon questions:
-
Are you indexed and you don't rank ?
-
You don't rank at all or just very low ?
-
Do you have any impressions for the site ? (in WMT or Ga search engine optimisation tab)
-
Do your pages have a reason to rank ? (vs competitors. do you have anything extra, better then your competitors)
Cheers.

I think you have to give the search engines time to register the changes that you made to your site. Check out the crawl rate of your site to make sure that Google is properly indexing your site. If the website is very recently launched, the age of the domain might be the factor for it getting ranked against the other competitors who are targeting similar keywords.
Did you already use the Keyword Analysis tool in the SeoMoz Tools section? It is a good way to see how competitive your keywords are and what more you need to improve in order to rank. Run a Full Analysis for your keywords to get more information.
Hope this helps

Following is what you should consider -
- You got the links but are they good quality links? Hope you didnt make ordinary directory submissions which will end up in penalty.
- make sure the there is no duplicate content which is a common thing in eCommerce sites.
- In fact make sure you have the content on the site normally on ecommerce sites, there is very less content, remember Google likes fresh content. OPtimise it for keywords (no stuffing).
- Use keywords in Title tags (the keywords for which you want to rank for).
- If possible, write some good blogs related to your market niche and post it on some good blog sites and get a link from there.
- Make Google + profile, be active on it and add link to your site in google + profile intro section (this is a good followed link)
Hope that helps.

Why should I pay attention to sites that rank well in Bing?
If Google has the most market share, why would I use Bing to find backlinks. This question relates to Raven Tools using backlinks found on Bing for their Domain Research tool? Wouldn't that make their tool inferior to one that uses Google? Thanks, Sam

Why aren't my backlinks showing up?
I've recently switched hosting my site on www.vamospaella.com to www.vamospaella.co.uk (using a 301 redirect) and I've been building backlinks. According to Majesticseo, vamospaella.co.uk has 38 backlinks with 8 referrring domains and vamospaella.com has 15 external backlinks from 11 referring domains. Some of these backlinks date back a month, while others have shown up in the last week. However, I have seen no improvement in my Google rankings for my keywords. Why is this?

Where are all the sites that are linking to me?
I need to compile a list of all the siters linking to my site, but my open site explorer analysis shows very few links. I know for certain that there are many many more sites linking to it (it's an academic site and there are links to it from a lot of academic directories). What am I doing wrong?
