Hello everyone!

I created 2 sites some weeks ago and they are nowhere in google, they are both indexed.

The competition in these sites are damn low, I have ranked harder comp keywords but these 2 are giving me trouble somehow. As far as my knowledge goes, they should be at least on the top 100 with just good on page seo but not even that.

What would you guys advice me to do? Maybe send some backlinks/social shares to see how do they react?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hey, who wrote the content. If you paid someone to do it for you, that is where I would look first. Even if it passes Copyscape it doesn't really mean it hasn't been used before and was de-indexed. Or spun and edited.

I've had this problem recently myself. Got someone on BHW to write some content (cheap) for a little project, and although the content wasn't perfect, I decided to post it anyway as it was just a little test project I was messing with. That project has now gone nowhere because Google either kicks the content out of their search engine, and I have to re-index, or it's only found in the supplemental results. I suspect the writer (Spinner) just spun and edited the content so it passes Copyscape. Lesson learned.

Sorry, yeah, other suggestions. Build some back links, give it a bit more time to settle, etc. Or, take a good look at the domains..

Site should rank if competition is low, proper on page works :)
Do let us know, is your domain a new one or re-registered some expire domain.
In addition, the content passed unique in copyscape?
Did you receive any notification in GWT?

Please let us know the above answers, we will check and will let you know.

If above everything is fine, then try to do social signals or press release once.

Cheers!
 
What backlinks have you sent to it?
 
If the keyword competition is low means It should get ranked after index. Please concentrate more on ON page works.
Content is the king for low competition keywords. You will get benefited.
  1. Once you complete the on page optimization, Submit URL to Google again.
  2. use the power of all social media networks Share it on social media: Facebook, Google Plus, LinkedIn, Twitter Pinterest, Reddit. Bookmark it at social bookmarking sites
  3. you need to write a good comment to get the backlinks. Most of them are no follow, but they will help you gain trust from Search Engine and index your post.
  4. Contact to other bloggers for backlinks (guest post, donation)
 
Metatags?
Proper keywords?
Description?
Og tags?
Have you scanned for errors?
The list goes on and on...

Content is good, I made it myself. Domains are new also. I think I'll give them more time.

None.

Will add some more content and then some backlinks.

Metatags?

Description?
Og tags?

Yep, all good on the on page seo.
 
Definitely send some backlinks at it to see it move. If it's low competition then a few web 2.0s backed with a GSA tier should be enough to see improvements.

Throw some PBN links if the competition is harder than you think.
 
OP, keep on building more quality backlinks and make sure your onpage SEO is good.
