SEO question for the people who may know something

Why is it that Google's search engine doesn't show our site on the first page with a search for "neogeo"

Could it be because most people do not access the site through the main page?

There is a lot of other Neo stuff in the news lately. Neo Geo Mini and other upcoming new releases or re-releases. The forum is old news.

Might have something to do with the site not being secure. Just a guess.

It is on my first page of my results, no matter if I search "neo geo" "neogeo" or "neo-geo." The top results are Wikipedia, SNK, Amazon and Ebay, so this site is the first one in the list that's not commercial.

It shows up 5th for me on the first page when i search for neogeo, neo geo or neo-geo, in an incognito browser.

It is behind:

1. Neo Geo (system) wikipedia
2. Neo Geo wikipedia
3. NeoGeo mini
4. An AES listing on Amazon

It comes up towards the bottom of the first page of an incognito search for me. But here are some issues that would weigh the site down in terms of SEO:

1. Not HTTPS - This is huge for Google. I'm surprised I get the site in first page results. They'll usually bury you for not having HTTPS.

2. Lack of content - The forum is always updating of course, but the main page and everything else is never updated.

3. The meta description and keywords aren't very good.

4. Incoming links - I'm assuming, given our reputation, that it's rare for other sites to link to the site.

5. Outgoing links - There's a dedicated page for outgoing links on here, but it doesn't look like it's been updating in a long time and I'd imagine a lot of those sites are dead.

I could keep going, but that should give you something to go on if you were looking for some quick(ish) fixes.

site got probably rated as adult XXX because of that.

Thats what happens when 90% of the sites content is in unrelated and the war room. No doubt Oman4shell probably pointed a million porn links at the site too.
