I'm new here and
This is the first question of mine on Stackoverflow.
Well, my question is regarding the Blog that I have... Now I'm not gonna spam here by providing my link and well, I have a blog and also a fanpage for that on Facebook. If I type my blog's name on google, my blog used to come on top of all the search results, infact I wish that. I've created a fan-page for my blog 2 days ago and now it has around 350 likes. Now, if I search for my blog name on google, Facebook Fanpage comes on the top and 2nd result is my blog!!
How to make my Blog beat my fan-page?? Yeah, my blog has pretty good quality back-links and also it is linked with the facebook and twitter pages..How to bring back my blog to the top again??
And also, My blog has a Twitter page and it has around 180 followers but it is not showing up at all in the Google search..
How to make it appear?? (Ofcourse Twitter is a High PR site but not showing up like Facebook Page).
Thank You!!!
To get your blog back up above the Facebook page you would have to increase Google's trust in your domain. So that would mean posting fresh new relevent content regularly. Getting more backlinks. Not just to the homepage, but also to individual articles as well.
These backlinks also need to come from a diverse range of quality domains.
You are definitely not the only one with this kind of problem. There are numerous people who have an e-commerce website who also sell their product on Amazon.com. Their Amazon.com listing usually outranks their own website and therefor they are losing money.
Outranking a domain like Facebook or Amazon is possible but you won't see results overnight.

I've managed to optimized one of my websites to rank 2nd on the first page for the search term I wanted it to rank well for and quite often I go and check to see if the rankings are still the same or if they have changed.
Yesterday I went to check and I see my website's not even on the first page! I thought that was odd, so I decided to do a quick search via both my mobile phones and my website is ranking normally (2nd on the 1st page).
So why is it that when I use 2 different mobile phones to do the search, my website is there and ranked normally as expected whereas on my desktop pc, my website has dropped off the first page (disappeared)?
WTF is going on? This doesn't make any sense! The only difference I can think of between my mobile phones and desktop PC is their IP address but how could that possibly effect rankings?
Just so you know, I don't do any dodgy backlinking strategies. In fact I don't even do any backlinking strategies to begin with!
** UPDATE **
So I quickly did a search on my desktop PC now and suddenly my website re-appeared back to 2nd on the first page. I then refreshed the google search and my website has disappeared again!!
There has been two recent Google updates, Panda 4.1 targeting thin and low quality content, and some updates fighting private blog networks (PBNs).
If you have content quality issues, fix them and it will help with rankings. If you benefit from backlinks from PBNs, remove them or disavow them A.S.A.P.
As usual, every updates often provokes the Google Dance (link to personal post). This could explain what you are observing too.
REM: Since this question is SEO related it should be posted in Pro Webmaster (at least you know for next time).

How can i display my company detail like google do?
You need to apply to Google Places for Businesses here.
Google can give your more information here. Sorry for the concise answer, but this should cover it!
There are several reasons to appear there I believe. Google shows description depending on the popularity of the thing you are searching for.
Forexample:
Search for Steve Jobs:
You will see some images, short introduction, wikipedia page and so on.
Search for Yahoo:
You will see G+ follow button, short introduction, wikipedia page, stock price and so on.
Search for Turkey:
You will see flag, map, short introduction, wikipedia page, points of interest and so on.
So the point is being popular. If you have lots of images in google image database, if you have many followers on google+, if your blog is popular, if there is a wikipedia page for your name you will probably be there.

I have read that Google no more uses meta tags to rank your website.

Its only 5-6 months we have launched our website. Can I get any tips so that I can optimize my website for searching.
You could register your website on the Google Webmaster tool :
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en
Not only you'll find a few tips about their SEO, but it will warn you if the Google crawler had problems while visiting your website, which could be the reason for your website to be ranked poorly.
That is true about Meta tags - not relevant now.
There is no simple recipe to increase PageRank and search engines position.
There are huge amount of guides on web that can help. Professional companies offering positioning for payment. And also not every positioning practice is also "fair" and legal.
But for the general, I would say to answer your question:
keep your web-code clean, and if possible meeting the W3C validators requirements: http://validator.w3.org/
keep good-quality content
thing that increasing your web-position is the fact that your page is linked on on other pages in positive and good-quality context. Try to achieve that (with to

I have started writing articles for my blog recently and then realized that google was not indexing it. So I went through some articles on google on how to do SEO. I have seen certain links suggesting meta tags are no longer useful to increase your rank.
From my experiments so far:
I have found, meta tags help for the keywords and nothing more.
Get more page hits and hence increased rank on the search engine by sharing on social networking sites like FB , twitter ,etc.
I would like to know what else can I do to increase. I know its not a one step solution or there is no readymade answer, but I would like to know what has worked for people on this forum :)
Another doubt I had is that google prefers original content as much as possible. I have posted some of my sport articles on my blog and on another website which publishes articles on the same sport but I have given a link to my original blog. But since the sports website has higher page ranking my page on the blog (the articles with same content) can no longer be found on google. Is there any way to stop it? Pls dont tell post on one location only. If there is a solution, I would appreciate that :)
There are a couple of things that are really important for SEO these days: fresh, original content (which you're handling with your blog!) and social signals. You should be promoting your blog on Google+, Facebook and Twitter, as well as participating in relevant communities.
You would be well served to become a regular visitor to a few niche blogs in your area of interest, and try to get some guest blogs posted. Blogs LOVE guest bloggers, and it's a great way to drive direct traffic back to your own blog, as well as increase your SERP placement for specific keywords in your author bio.
Participating in forums and other online discussions is a good way to work on driving traffic to your site. Create good, link-worthy content, and the SERPs will follow.

If you google a specific entity, occasionally the website listed first is given a little listing of content, sort of like a mini site-map that the user can click on to navigate the linked site, bypassing the home page.
My question is this: Can I control this mini-sitemap when I am PR1? If so, how do I do so? I'm trying to build a list of relevant links so users can more effectively hit my site, but I'm not sure where to go about doing this.
Help?
No you cannot turn this on. Google decides this on their own wheter or not to generate them and for which search terms. If you sign up for the google webmasters you can see the status (if google has generated some for your site) and read more about their background.
Google generates the sitelinks itself, but only for certain sites. As for how it determines which sites get it and which don't, I'm not really sure, but I suspect it has something to do with the pagerank of the site and the amount of content you have.
For a while, I had sitelinks for my site (PR4 with about 40,000 pages indexed in Google) but then a while later, they went away. In my case it generated sitelinks for the main tabs on the site, probably because they are in the header navigation and therefore on every single page near the top of the page.
The only control you have over them is you can use the Google webmaster tools to remove sitelinks that you don't like, but you can't change the existing ones or suggest new ones.
They are called Sitelinks - there's a FAQ entry about them here.
You can't control them (except to remove ones you don't like) - the FAQ says "At the moment, sitelinks are completely automated."
