Pedro R. Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Well everyone here already started a new website. And my question is: How long does take a site to get PageRank on google? I launched my presta site www.hobbysector.com at 1st July 2012 and it stills 'Unranked'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro R. Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Good Morning, Aaaahhhhh, if only we all new the answer to that question, the best person to ask is google so, do a search for "google webmaster tools" Paul Yep sure! But in the general experience of the users here in this forum, who are generally people who 'open' new websites what is your experience, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year?

Dh42 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 It all depends on your SEO strategy. What do you mean by pagerank? Just appear on google or appear high in google? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Patron Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 did you submit a sitemap? do you sell in one country? if so what is that country? what is your URL? If you sell on a .com or .co for example but then only sell say in UK, then you compete with all the other .com's in the world...you need to use ccTLD's...for the best 'free' organics... Did you do a good job on your SEO meta for your site? If you are competing with products that pay for their ranking...and you don't...then you never will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do a good job on your SEO meta for your site? If you are competing with products that pay for their ranking...and you don't...then you never will. Yes, i did submit the sitemap. My URL is www.hobbysector.com and I have 2 ccTLDs: www.hobbysector.com/pt - and focus is Portugal market www.hobbysector.com/en - and focus is the rest of the world Is better to submit 1 sitemap (in Portuguese) for www.hobbysector.com/pt and other one for www.hobbysector.com/en (in English) ? And define geographic target in GoogleWebMasters as "Portugal" for ccTLD www.hobbysector.com/pt and for www.hobbysector.com/en left it as "Non Defined" ? This is confusing hope you understand what I said. And yes I think did a good job for SEO meta, still optimizing it yet. Edited November 11, 2012 by Pedro R.

El Patron Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) www.hobbysector.com/en www.hobbysector.com/pt are NOT ccTLD's, and you will be penalized for duplicate content. which may help explain your lack of page ranking... a true ccTLD looks more like this www.someurl.pt or pt.yourshopurl.com there is not ccTLD en also I am assuming you are running a multishop when you say you have defined two ccTLD's Edited November 11, 2012 by elpatron (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 You might want to code rich snippets into your site too. I have been coding them in for my customers and I have seen good results with it. Also, take time and target your keywords too. Just follow good SEO practices with targeting and backlinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I looked at your site after posting that. Here are somethings I would suggest. You are not using alt tags, use them. I don't know if you are, but use the manufacturers descriptions. Bump your page speed score up a little bit too. Those should help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro R. Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 www.hobbysector.com/en www.hobbysector.com/pt are NOT ccTLD's, and you will be penalized for duplicate content. which may help explain your lack of page ranking... a true ccTLD looks more like this www.someurl.pt or pt.yourshopurl.com there is not ccTLD en also I am assuming you are running a multishop when you say you have defined two ccTLD's Let me explain my scenario and problem: I have a multi language site with 2 languages: Portuguese and English And I have Portuguese version here: www.hobbysector.com/pt And the English version at www.hobbysector.com/en And the contents are the same exactly but translated for respective language (altought in the Portuguese version I have some descriptions not translated, stilling in English) What I want is to set the Portuguese version to Portugal market and the English version to 'rest of the world' How should I set this in googlewebmasters? ..... Actually I just have defined 1 URL at googlewebmasters: www.hobbysector.com and I just set 1 sitemap with both languages inside and the geotargeting country is defined as 'No Listed' PS: Also I have the domanin www.hobbysector.pt which is simply redirecting to www.hobbysector.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you are, but use the manufacturers descriptions. Bump your page speed score up a little bit too. Those should help. Do you mean alt tags: the alt tag of the images? How do I set this in prestashop? I back office I just can define the description of the images. Yeah, I am using the Manufactures description already. Where did you noticed slow page speed in my site? What is a good page speed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 For the slow page speed, i notice it you got like a 85 in google page speed. I usually try to get things up to 94 -95 in it. The alt tags might be a little trickier, you will more than likely have to edit your templates. It seems to be using the description as the title, I would change the template to use it as the alt tag too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
