    Default Home Page Organic Search Results

    Our new ASPDNSF site has been up for about 6 weeks. The site is ranking well on organic search with Google, but not in the way we expected. Our home page url is consistently ranking in the top 5 (!!!) for keyword searches while the more relevant page based on the search keywords entered is ranking 9, 10 or on a different page of results altogether. Although we like the high placement, I just don't understand why the home page is ranked this way. Has anyone else seen this with their site or know why this is happening?

    sure, I guess an example would be helpful... our url is www. powerprosinc.com

    example keyword is powerware 9170

    Using this, our home page ranks near the top of the first page, but our manufacturer page is actually on page 2 of the search results.

    You may find that Google initially puts new urls at the top of the results then the page may sink depending on many different factors.

    Age of site
    Domain Name
    Relevency to results
    competitive sites
    etc etc

    Is it possible that you're logged into your google account?
    I don't see your homepage listed - the first result for your domain is in position 14.

    Hope this helps?

    I had no idea that login status affected what I saw in Google search results. Glad to be looking at reality now, as what I was seeing did not make sense to me. Thanks.
