web directory appears before my website?

[A.E]

I added my website to a web directory and now that directory appears before my actual website..I havn't opened my site yet so i don't get many hits.. its just a coming soon.. I won't provide the domain name because it will appear on search engines..When i open my site will my site be first on the list? My website is one of a kind and no one uses its name..Forgot to mention that I am talking about searching the website name on google.(its a .com domain)

The directory site will feature before yours because your site doesn't have any relevant content and the directory site is an "authority".The directory site carries more weight with search engines due to it's age, backlinks, number of visitors etc.What do you want to rank for? It should be no problem to rank for the site name, but who's going to search for your site name??You need to look at your target market, think what the customer will search for, and optimize your pages for those keywords/phrases.There are lots of tools that will help you do your keyword research, and they will tell you the average daily search volume for each chosen term.Lots more info at my site (and it's free info!!)All the bestJohn.
