Are you in a position where you need to boost search engine rankings for your website? Rankings for websites occur at different stages and at different times so don’t expect them to happen right away when you start to market your business online.

Here are some reasons why it might be taking some time:

Age Of Domain

If you have recently launched a domain and you are in a competitive space it might take a bit longer than expected to really start making your way into the search results. Remember that there have been websites that might have been sitting there for quite some time prior to your arrival.

Lack Of Optimization

Are you 100% positive your website was optimized like it should have been? Did you try doing it yourself without real industry knowledge on how to do it properly? It could be a possibility that your website was not optimized correctly and therefore it is now paying the price. You can solve this problem by having someone take a look at it to see if things are how they should be.

No Link Building

You have to build some links to your website if you want that puppy to start climbing and bouncing around. I don’t really know too many niches out there today that do not need any links to gain some traction. Plus people will bump into those links eventually and start to make it to your site.

Social Media Non-Existent

I know that social media can take up some time but it simply has to be done in today’s marketplace. You need to build up a community and an audience in the online space to really thrive and build up your brand. Not to mention that many of the links that are dropped in the social networks will also appear as links for your website so it is important to be visible and active in the social space.

Black Hat?

Did you get a little black hat fever and attempt to cut corners at some point in order to cheat the system? If you did maybe you have a little penalty on your website preventing you from growing how you should. If you think you have one do some research online on how to determine whether it really exists and the steps to take if you do.

Better rankings for your website don’t just happen overnight. They take time to mature and build and each business space and vertical is different.
