Old old story. The site's been up just over two months now. I sought advice here, and took what I received (thank you all again!). I tidied up the site, ie. de-spammed it, better-utilised keywords in the text, and gained as many backlinks as I could. I now have a heap of backlinks according to MOST engines......except Google.

The site is www.biofarmag.com.au

I use http://hscripts.com/tools/HLPC/index.php to see how I'm sailing. Everything continues to improve, except on Google.

Any suggestions? Anything I'm doing wrong?

Ill try and help
<META Name="revisit-after" Content="30 Days">
Maybe decrease that, to lower.

Also, useing some SEO programs i got on this pc, i did some looking at your site, i have attached a report on your website, theirs many things it thinks is wrong with it

Enjoy! .. lol

The site's been up just over two months now

Only another 6 to 10 months to go then.

forget the useless revist-after meta there isn't a user agent that uses that meta, and if there was you would be telling it NOT to return for 30 days.

Here is the thing: Search Engine Optimization does not take effect immediatley. You might do a *lot* of work on it and not see any results for six-months. Keep working at it and do some Google Adwords to help drive some traffic. Google Adwords takes work and patience too but it really can help your business.

Mr NuWeb, I'll have a look at that attachment. Thank you.

And thanks Chris. Point taken. I just need/ed to know that I'm not doing anything terrible that's keeping Google from doing it's thing.

Manatee, what's a Google Adword?

Mr NuWeb (or anyone?), can you please tell me if that report (see NuWeb's attachment above) contains significant stuff that would prevent good listing and ranking? I had a look, and it may as well have been written in Greek to me. I'm an agricultural scientist, and only an amateur website builder.

Google Adwords is a program whereby you can bid on keywords: adwords.google.com.

BTW, some hosts have partnerships with Google so they can provide Adwords credits and other marketing tools. For example, http://www.ezpublishing.com/business/hosting

Good luck with the search engine optimization. One problem with it is you can work hard and get your site ranking way up for awhile and then it drops back down because other people are working hard at it too. It is a constant process and requires a lot of time, patience, and work.

Actually SEO work can and does show immediate effects (good or bad), it's simply because at Google there is an aging delay filter in place that keeps sites from ranking for 8 to 12 months. Once the site is past that you should start to see real results.

The "report" contains absolutely nothing that will affect listing or ranking. It is simply a HTML validation check. The errors are because of the page is missing a DTD and charset meta, and the use of deprecated tags in the code

What are the most effective tactics for SEO?

No what i attatched MAY have something getting google confused, chances are that their isetnt.. Just pointing out that theirs some problams, (im no good at seo, just trying to hel p mate)

I don't see an attachment. What are you attaching?

if you would only hear how other webmasters are doing you will realize that you are not alone on this. it will really take much of hard work and perseverance.

No complaints. I appreciate the help. I'd hate to discover there was something blatantly wrong, and I'd missed it.

There's just one "keyword" which you need within you. I used to get hyper the same way u'r going when google dosent index you. But guess what, 4 months down the line I got a healty PR (5/10) and I'm living happily ever since.

Just relax. Keep up the good work and don't let disappointment be a part of your dictionary.

Hope this helps.

biofarm you seem to have a 4/10 PR. that should be ok... or not?

What are you attaching?

I suggest, (as did someone else already), that you remove this tag...

1- Make an interresting site with a lot of content
2- Get more backlinks. And when you've done that, get more backlinks. And again.
3- Be patient, and while you're waiting for success, add good content and get more backlinks. Register your site with all the repertories which you can find. Specialized repertories are better.
4- Your backlinks MUST come from sites talking about the same subject as yours.
5- Your outgoing links (don't be afraid to put 3 to 4 links per page) MUST point to GOOD sites talking about the same subject as yours.
