Google reads your product page. It doesn't read your tweets.
Hey,
Short one.
First, thank you. 113 of you launched on LaunchIt this month. That's more than the previous two months combined and it's why the domain keeps climbing.
Now the useful bit.
Google decides whether to trust your site based on who links to it. Not how good your product is. Who links to it.
That's why you can write 30 blog posts and rank for nothing while a competitor writes three and sits above you. They're not better writers. Google just has a reason to believe them.
The fix isn't more content. It's getting sites Google already trusts to point at yours.
Directories are the only places that will link to a product with no traction yet. That's their whole purpose.

Have a good weekend.
