My Site's Name Not Ranking in Google
-
Hey all,
I've seen a few posts like this. But I wanted to start a new thread in hopes I may find the underlying issue.
I've had my site: http://www.ctrl-alt-success.com for about 2 years. Recently I've started really adding a lot of content to it. (about 2-3 posts a week).
I get zero organic views which is fine as I know it's still in the beginning. But here's my main question.
If I type "ctrl-alt-success" into google. I get some site that shows up. "ctrlaltsuccess.com"
I've been looking at this issue forever. That site has been "coming soon" for nearly 2 years. lol
My site doesn't even show up on the first 10 pages of google. However in Bing and Yahoo it ranks on the first page.
What could my site be doing wrong that it's not even ranking for the exact domain name?
Keep in mind, if I google "ctrl-alt-success.com" my site comes up fine.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You may also want to go into your Google Webmaster Tools and "Fetch As Google".
Open your GWT > Click Crawl > Select "Fetch as Google". If you want Google to fetch your homepage you can leave the URL field blank and just click fetch.

A quick glance of your site passes the eye test.
- It's not set to NoIndex
- It's not blocking search engines via robots.txt
- Blog posts appear to be unique content and indexed
- Backlink profile is not spammy, in fact, nearly non-existent
If I had to take a guess after 5 minutes of research, I think you simply need to get a few more links to your site to get it ranking.

New site pages are indexed but not ranking for anything
I just built this site for a client http://primedraftarchitecture.com. It went live 3 weeks ago and the pages are getting indexed as per Webmaster Tools. But I'm not seeing it rank for anything. We're adding blog articles regularly and used Moz Local for local links and have been building links in other local directories (probably about 15 so far). Usually I get some rankings, although very low, after just a week or two for new sites. Does anyone see anything glaring that may be causing a problem?

Does 'XXX' in Domain get filtered by Google
I have a friend that has xxx in there domain and they are a religious based sex/porn addiction company but they don't show up for the queries that they are optimized against. They have a 12+ year old domain, all good health signs in quality links and press from trusted companies. Google sends them adult traffic, mostly 'trolls' and not the users they are looking for. Has anyone experienced domain word filtering and have a work around or solution? I posted in the Google Webmaster help forums and that community seems a little 'high on their horses' and are trying to hard to be cool. I am not too religious and don't necessarily support the views of the website but just trying to help a friend of a friend with a topic that I have never encountered. here is the url: xxxchurch.com Thanks, Brian
