Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I obviously haven't optimized KennethLewis.com for the given term, but the term is all over the site on multiple pages.   As for the Breema site, it is mentioned just on the homepage of a site that otherwise has no relevance to the keywords.

I thought Google would know better, and wouldn't give much weight to the addition to the homepage of a different topic (Breema in this case).  I put it on there clearly for SEO purposes, and find it strange that Google is taking the bait so easily.

**What happened to all I've read about Google looking site-wide for relevance, and not just on one page? ** How can an Internet Marketing website appear lower in an Internet Marketing search than one with a radically different topic and three usages of the keyword on one page?

In my eyes this reveals that it is not content/relevance that is important, but rather one's ability to play the SEO game, which is exactly what Google says it wants to avoid.  Right?

Just trying to wrap my head around this.

"cars, hunger, and statistics" LOL

Yes, it is true that I used the index page as a sales place for potential clients, and significantly overlooked SEO.  Hypocritical, I must say of myself.

Thanks guys for pointing out the obvious.  It is funny how much easier it is for me to see other site's issues then my own.

Any other thoughts, anyone?

Hi,

I've got a question here that is more about learning than about rectifying this specific situation, as it is a low traffic (low dollar) situation.  I would appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Ken

The targeted long-tail is:  carrollton ga internet marketing

The targeted site is: http://www.kennethlewis.com/

Yet, when I run the keyword search I get this other site of mine, which is older, but has much worse metrics.  http://www.breemawellness.com/  On this site, all I did was put a in-text link on it and added the keywords to my title tags.

Open Site Explorer shows these metrics:

KennethLewis.com 34, 23, 18, 98

vs. BreemaWellness 27, 15, 7, 10.

Both are on the same server.

Note:

-Until two months ago the KennethLewis.com was only partially about Internet Marketing- mildly so, actually- and it was a 2-3 page iWeb not-optimized site.  But BreemaWellness has never been about Internet Marketing, and those words were just added two months ago for the first time.

-KennethLewis.com gets regular content changes, to the blog.  BreemaWellness.com almost never gets touched.

Thoughts?
