My website (http://markasoftware.getenjoyment.net) doesn't seem to be indexed properly by Google (I haven't tried other search engines).

When I type in the URL of my site it appears right at the top of the list like it should. When I type in the entire contents of the title, however, the site doesn't appear!

The title is quite long

Thermonuclear War Game Online: Thermonuclear War By Mark

and it has little (if any) competition.

Have I been punished by Google for some reason, or is it something else? I have received zero hits from search engines. Can someone tell me why my site doesn't appear?

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, see the FAQ.

You only really have one page in the site and that page doesn't have a great deal of content on it. I appreciate there is an about page, but that isn't coded properly and has no meta description so google is ignoring it.

My advice would be:-

  • Write more content (game tutorials, a blog, high score pages and so on)
  • Make sure your HTML is well formed and SEO friendly)
  • Add proper main navigation
  • Implement a CMS like Wordpress (wordpress is built for better SEO)

I am currently working on upgrades which include a multiplayer version of the game, therefore I will need acounts so there will be create account, login, and many other pages with FAQ and I am planning to eventually make another game. – Markasoftware Apr 8 '12 at 0:33

I would think that the you are just not ranking that high with the words in your title.

There are a lot of links to sites like "Global Thermonuclear War", "online war game", and things like that that are ranking above your site.

then what should my keywords be? – Markasoftware Apr 8 '12 at 0:33
It may be hard to figure out keywords for your title. It may be a good idea to give your game a unique name, and start promoting it under that name. With a unique name your game title should be the top results on Google when people search for you. – Sherwin Flight Apr 9 '12 at 6:38
only problem is that nobody would search for my game title because less than 50 people know about it and they use the URL, not a search engine, to find my site. – Markasoftware Apr 10 '12 at 2:34
Well, now may be the best time to come up with a unique title for it, before you have a lot of visitors. It also takes time to build up a user base as well, so try to get your game listed on an online gaming website and things like that. But without a unique name you're likely to have trouble being found in a search engine. – Sherwin Flight Apr 10 '12 at 3:03
