Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The only results I've seen is "x-rated" lol

I had an article called "My X-Rated Secret" which was in no way adult oriented.

Other than that, I have really random words like:

x-rated   2
xrated    2
alt          1
ctrl         1
ctri         1

Hey Travis, (I have an old friend named Travis Bailey btw!)

I did do the Site:ctrl-alt-success.com search and that came up fine, but I was curious why Google wouldn't find it if I did it the other way, but Bing and Yahoo find it just fine.

And you said my GA tag looks a little weird, the only thing I've done differently with GA is I updated to the universal analytics that came out. Hope I didn't screw anything up. lol

Hey Keri,

Thanks for the suggestions. I never really used AWstats before but I do have access to it via my Cpanel. Not entirely sure what to look for, but I'll check it out and see if anything stands out to me.

Webmaster Tools hasn't given me any errors that I've noticed. I've fetched the site and everything seems to be good.

Something I didn't think about - I use Hostgator. But I've been using an older site: kaos-incorporated.com (no longer active, was just using it for a forum) as the primary hostgator domain.

ctrl-alt-success.com is an addon domain. So although my domain is ctrl-alt-success.com, in AWStats the site is listed as "ctrl-alt-success.kaos-incorporated.com".

Could that have any bearing on why Google may have some issues ranking me?

Absolutely, sorry I thought I included that.

ctrl-alt-success.com

This is in regards to a previous post that was answered for me:
http://moz.com/community/q/my-site-s-name-not-ranking-in-google

I was talking to a friend and he suggested I try to type in an article in google with the exact name followed by my site's domain name without the .com

For example, I have an article entitled:

"MULTITASKING IS BAD FOR YOU, MKAY?"

Obviously it's a title most would not word in that way.

I typed it in and followed it up with my site's domain minus .com.

So "MULTITASKING IS BAD FOR YOU, MKAY? ctrl-alt-success"

But I'm not even getting listed in the search.

There's got to be something I'm missing. I understand backlinks are important for ranking, but when I'm trying to find an exact match along with my site's url minus the .com?

I just have this strong hunch that something is awry.

NOTE: It seems this is only with google. If I use Bing or Yahoo, it comes up just fine.

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!
