Why is my site listed on page 8 on google?

[hamando]

My site is listed on first page, altavista, yahoo and msn, but listed on page 8 within google for the same keyword search????Im finding this quite frustrating!Keyword search - "garage sales"My site - http://www.egaragesales.com.auAnyone?RJGoogle has a different approach to ranking sites than the others. If they were all the same they wouldnt all be there!Google is by far the hardest to get listed high, thats just how it goes but you can find lots of info here on ways to work at it Google may regard your site as spam or you're just still in the sandbox. For one you look at your keyword density.The sandbox effect is one of the most frustrating issues to anyone trying to get a site to rank. You're looking at min 3 months where all you really can do is sit tight.Need more back links. You have only 50 now.SOmetimes your website shows PR3 and sometimes it shows PR0 any one knows why???every search engine has their own algorithm. I think that answers your question.Did u register in Dmoz?Gday Nicky,Yes Ive registered with Dmoz, but awaiting approval. I guess I just need to be more patient.RJYes, we need to wait it seems. But dont loose hope...
