Hi,
I have a site indexed by Google a few months ago. It shows up for some general keywords but it didn't for more specific content-related keywords. Any idea?

Thanks.
PS The site is created with Joomla CMS 1.5 and sef enabled with mod_rewrite recently.

Also what's the site. You can post a link to it if you want.

Chances are there's just more competition for those keywords than the amount of work you've put into SEO on the site. You don't just rank for keywords because you want to. If there are enough other sites trying to rank for those keywords then you have to do a better job than they're doing.

Let us know the site in question and the keywords you're trying to rank for and I'm sure you'll get some answers.

Google shows results based on your content and then key words... Mentioning keywords does not ensure you that you will be ranked on those key words...

So look for quality content... opt for seo services or do self seo...

It is not so important what software engine you use, but i know Joomla! and Mambo, and know that those gpl licensed cms's are worse than for example phpnuke, that has much more mess in the code. SEF component or bot for your Joomla, that you have mentioned is not very important, but of course useful. But the main reason i think is that you do not optimize your text on the page and does no seo position by yourself or some professionalist, think over that it is hard work some times (BL, PR of the page, age etc)
greetz, and good work

Try getting some backlinks pointing to your site, including interior pages and use your keywords for anchor text and title="keyword" in your url structure.

The title attribute does nothing for your ranking, but don't let that stop you using it for the benefit of your visitors.
