Hello,
I think major search engines like Google.com, Yahoo.com, MSN.com are not fair to my websites. I have some keywords ranked on my Google sitemap on the 14th position. I do not see it nowhere when doing a search on google for that keyword. For the same keyword, I also could not find my site on Yahoo and MSN. I do not know why is that. My sites are over 1 years old. Why Google site map ranked that keyword but can not be found on Google?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks very much for reading.

How can you rank the kw if you can't find it in Google? It will be better if your pages are already visible or indexed in Google. Also, try to analyze the competition and number of searches of your keywords.

Don't say the search engines are being unfair to your websites. That is bullsh**. For the most part, search engines treat all websites equally. You don't automatically get rankings just by having a website up for a year. You need to have a lot of quality, unique content and you need a lot of quality backlinks with a variety of anchor texts. You are targeting very competitive search terms but your websites are quite spammy. Getting rankings on Google has a lot to do with gaining Google's trust. You simply can't get good Google rankings in a competitive niche if your website is so spammy.

Also, are you getting traffic or not? Ranking isnt everything.
