I recently designed a site aiming at answering questions. I started it off with a few questions of my own and was expecting some user
interaction to help me add to a database.

Mostly I was hoping for these questions to rank high for the questions. I'm talking exact matches between search term and title of page.
The question is the title of the page and in the meta description. It's also in a h2 tag on the page with the question in it and the
keywords in the question are in the answer on the page in a paragraph. So far google have indexed most of my site. Although there
is a conflict in SC. Dashboard says 23 indexed and index status says 0 indexed. When I type in site:mysite.com the pages have
been indexed, but none of them can be found in search. I type in exact question title and get nothing nowhere. not in the first 5 pages.
It's been about a week since my last submittion of a sitemap. I did make a few changes(adding question to meta description on
each page and a couple of others). But I am nowhere.

My site is even called carpet-questions and it doesn't even come anywhere if I type in carpet questions. I'm guessing pagerank of other
sites is making a difference somewhere, but this seems hopeless. Pagerank seems like a big shut-out to anyone. Theres simply no
way of gaining it.

Oh and I've optimized my site as much as possible. My question answers are short and to the point, but I'm reluctant to drag each one
out as it's not really the theme of the site. The site is basic, it didn't take long to put together. But I was at least expecting something from
it.

Any ideas. Why would they not rank?
