Allinanchor / Allintitle

How does this relate to serps?

[loftx]

I've seen in mentioned somwhere on these forums that allinanchor, allintitle and allintext are useful tools - though I can't find out what you're supposed to use them for

I have 3rd position for allinanchor:kw1 kw2 and allintitle:kw1 kw2 and 4th for allintext:kw1 kw2 for my site but for kw1 kw2 I am not even in the top 400!

What am I doing wrong and how am i supposed to be using these options in google for seo?

Cheers

Tom

This topic tends to threads spinning off into oblivion. There are lots of discussions about this, but how they "relate" to the serps is unanswerable. The allin's filter the results and are ranked by a different algorithm than the main serps. They generally run similar to the main serps with two exceptions: pages/sites in the sandbox manage to rank well in the allin searches, and many pages that are penalized for cause in the main serps show in the allin's.

In other words, the allin's show a lot more penalized sites. In your case, if your domain is less than a year old, likely it is sandboxed like tons of other sites, and there is nothing to do about that. If it is a pre-2003 site, likely it is being penalized or otherwise dramatically devalued for one reson or another, and there are a bottomless pit of reasons for that for you to explore.

Thanks for the quick reply,

The domain was registered 31 Jan 2004 - From what I've read here I thought that would have been early enough to avoid the sandbox.

The content on the site had been on another domain since around July 2003 - would this have any effect?

When the content was crawled on the new domain is what would matter, but you are on the cusp anyway so the sandbox is a strong possibility.
