That's nice work

incoming links
having people click your result in the rankings from different ips and then not clicking more.
The second is why pretty girls and porn come up high in the image search, no matter what you are looking for.

I'm seeing you second from the bottom on page 2 on Google.ie. hairybaby.com is #1 and I'm not seeing you at all in the first ten pages of Google.com

Why are you focusing on those keywords anyway? There's 58 local searches (google.ie) for it and 390 global searches per month.

I'm only getting you on page 2 for your keyword combo and further down for other similar ones.

(The prices are :eek:)

MrMatisse

Managed to get it back there. Didnt realise you could drop off so fast.

1. Are you sure that the keywords you select are the keywords that your potential customers use to look for the goods that you have to offer? Use Googles keyword tool to see what is most widely used.

2. Small point, Google reads the page title from left to right, so push your company name out to the right and major keyphrases to the left.

3. You need your keyphrases mentioned in text on your home page. It has to be in a way that makes sense to the visitor. Use them in h1, h2 and in highlight within the paragraph. Do not overuse them. Remember the search engines only read text!

4. You have sections set up within your website. Optimise each section accordingly.

5. Put some of your keyphrases in against the ALT tag against images (and internal links)

Again do not over use your keyphrases.

These are only a few quick hit yet vital changes that will improve your ranking more.

Good Luck

MrMatisse

No one?

Do people often search for 'funny irish tshirts' as a term?

MrMatisse

Nope, more t shirts ireland although you do get a few, didnt have a clue what I was doing at the start hence tried to optimise things like that.

Have you used the Google Keyword Tool with "t shirts ireland" to see how popular this term is and what its popular variations are?

Are you sure you're not seeing personalised results when you're checking your position?

MrMatisse

Yep I was , Damn, started another thread on it to find out. Didnt know that could happen. Very dissapointed.

Thanks Bacon ? !!:D

yeahme

mm just giving some biz advice not seo,

I noticed you dont have usa on your list. Imo this potentially could be your biggest market for you, there is loads of irish shops, societys , clubs, bars, gaa teams, and they would be more inclined to buy, start with pubs and clubs in McClean ave yonkers NY look it up on internet, eg dolans bar, or hit this linka and ask for their help www.nyirish.org then hit other cities Boston Philly Chicago and san fran, these are the highest populated as regards irish living there,
keep prices lower, though as i can buy a kiss me im irish tshirt in any sears, jcpennys, nordstrom etc... for $5

MrMatisse

Cheers,

I wish I could get them for 5$ !!
