Hey Guys, I appreciate the help you guys have given me the last few weeks, I am going crazy trying to figure out why my competitors are ahead of me on Google search pages, I realize that Google has not picked up my new changes, but I have checked over and over what my competitors are doing and I can not figure it out, one example:http://www.dielectricsealing.com/whatsnew.htm, they have a 2PR, Ihve 4-5PR, I have the same amount of links as they do and they are on the first search page and I am on the second search page my website address is www.greenstoneusa.com. Can anyone please look at it and tell me what am I missing. Thank you in advance I really appreciate all the help.

First and foremost, they have the term YU108 in their title, and you do not.
There are a lot of other similar easy to change factors. Have a read through these forums and you'll garner a ton of useful information.

Website optimization can be a factor.You better check their page structure.

Thanks for responding, I went back and checked the title and they do not have YU108 in they're title? and neither does this company:http://www.rfpowerx.com/product/Industrial-new-tubes.html, and they both come up before my page on searches. I have done some changes on my pages like adding specifications and more text but Google has not picked it up yet. Can anyone tell me what these two cmpanies are doing to show up on the first page of the search, Thanks for your help.

They have the text "YU108" in the page. Yours doesn't. (at least not in the url that you provided)
...if you're wondering why the interior page is not ranking better, I would place a space before (and after, if necessary) the part number that contains YU108, otherwise it is part of a bigger part number, and probably would not rank as well.
Both of the sites that you referenced have "YU108" in the text, separated by at least one space before and after that keyword.

Wow, I would have never thought that a space would make a difference, I have made the changes on all the parts and I apologize I gave you my homepage address that does not list the parts the page that list the parts is:www.greenstoneusa.com/industrial.htm , I went back and checked some of the other sites and most of them do have the spaces between the part #'s, I would not have picked this up. I have noticed also that competitors pages with PR1 are ahead of my pages on the search, is that beacuse they have more links?, I added a bunch of spec. pages over a week ago and how long will it take those pages to be added on Google. If there is anything else anyone can recommend please let me know, I don't want you gus to think I am being lazy and just looking for answers I have spent a lot of hours reading on this forum but I am such a beginner I don't get a lot of the things that get answered, but I really apreciate all the help you guys give me. Thanks in advance.

I checked both of the sites, and it is appaerent the reason the dielectricsealing.com is appearing ahead of you is the density of the YU108 term. It appears in his text twice, with relatively not a great deal of text around it. While it only appears in your text once with many more part numbers around it. Google sees your competitors page as being about the YU108, while google sees YU108 as just one of many keywords. Also yours is only located in a link. If really want to get higher on this term. One suggestion would be to add the term again to your page in a header tag without it being in another anchor tag. Hope this helps

I just added the links to the part numbers last week, the links go to another page that has the specifications for each tube, was this a good idea? on these spec. pages the part is only mentioned once on top of the page should I write the # again on the page?, Thanks.

Would it be better if I listed these part #'s under each other instead of boxes next to each other, I am sorry if I am not using the right terms.

Well those pages are good, I didn't notice those at first. Google has not picked those pages up yet, so you are going to have to play a waiting game until Google Crawls them. I would assume, that once they do, that you will move up in the results. You can check whether the page has been crawled just by typing the url of your page in the search, and google will let you know.

Well, think about it. If you did a search for the name: smith
wouldn't you expect a page that contained "John Smith" to rank higher than one that had: "Smithsonian Institute"
Well, who knows lately since Google hasn't refined their stemming algorithm completely, but that's the way it should work IMHO.

Do loads of people really searc for just "YU108" ??
Does you site rank well for several dozen to several hundred other keywords, or is this one "it"?

the site used to be on the first page of Google for every part # I have listed on my pages then about a month it dropped to the second and third page on Google and I habeen going crazy trying to figure out why, I added specs and more text but Google has not picked it up yet, the pages do not come up for the keywords I have listed in my tags,from what I read and was told by members on this forum that search engines don't really look at them anymore, I also have Google adwords, but I am really concerned on the search page placement I know when I am searching for something I will not go beyond the first page and I am afraid I am losing business since I dropped to the sexcond and third page, any help from you guys is greatly appreciated.
