Other sites mentioning my site rank instead of me.

For the main keywords instead of  Website link, the other links are ranking in Google search like Social Bookmarking, blog sites (Wordpress, Blogger) etc. But our website is ranking nowhere for these main keywords.

What can be the reason for this? It`s case with out majority of websites. +Jim Munro ?

  • Kalpesh Bharankar: +Hardial Singh what is DA & PA score of your site?
  • Steven Ciccantelli: +Kalpesh Bharankar So you know what the DA and PA scores mean?
  • Hardial Singh: +Kalpesh Bharankar ;any tool to check ;DA & PA score of your site?
  • Ryan Cramer: One thing that I found the other day was that I had to change my private results setting so that I wasn't getting the social results that I was associated with.  ;This gives you a better idea of how you are truly placing.

    But my other experience with this issue was there were server issues that may cause a good site not to be placed - and it's more than port 80 being blocked.  ;If you are having this issue with multiple sites that are hosted on the same server, this is most likely your issue.
  • Kalpesh Bharankar: +Steven Ciccantelli +Hardial Singh more info on DA and PA moz.com/learn/seo/page-authority and DA and PA checker is seoreviewtools.com/website-authority-checker/ hope this helps
  • Steven Ciccantelli: +Kalpesh Bharankar thank you I use +Moz toolbar on my pc.My PA is 25 DA just 12.Any insights on how to increase.Website is ranking well but trying to stay ahead of the competition.
  • Hardial Singh: +Kalpesh Bharankar ;Thanks for the information. The ;PA for domain is 43 and DA is 39. what are your thoughts on this.
  • Kalpesh Bharankar: +Steven Ciccantelli your DA score is not good but not bad also, building backlinks on brandname, and domain will work, also do proper onpage optimization, for all possible pages of your website, also getting links from high authority sites and video submission will work.
  • Kalpesh Bharankar: +Hardial Singh your DA score is good, but also check DA/PA of the website ranking in search engine, you will also find sites having less DA/PA, but it is all about google algo. I would suggest you to look for onpage optimization and building links from high authority sites.

    The cuetimes listed on this page are functional while the live broadcast continues and also once Youtube has finished processing the public broadcast. Processing time varies between 6-24 hours. During this period the clip is viewable in full but the cuetimes cannot be relied on.

    If our assistance with this issue was useful to you, please consider sharing your success story so that others might benefit.
    
  • Ryan Cramer: +Hardial Singh ;I'd be interested to see what response you get from the panel on this with a repeat of the question.  ;I might have picked up on you having issue with MULTIPLE sites, but they seem to have looked for a single domain issue.
