Hey guys,

So this is the problem I've been having. I've got a site http://www.shop.hdlhandbags.com/ that shows up on page 2, I don't understandd what I'm doing wrong.

Have you inserted good keywords into your site?
Have you registered your site with Google Webmaster Tools?
Have you an xml sitemap?
Have you added Google Analytics so you track visitors?

Your website name is non-descriptive so that good be a problem too.

There's a free report on the site below on traffic that might help you.

I do see 1600 pages listed in the Google result for the search, site:kiwiimport.com

SEO takes time, some site operators spend more time off site doing PR and acquiring backlinks than they spend working on their own.

Adwords does nothing for search ranking, the benefit of an ad click is limited to that one visitor, professional Adwords marketers typically use tracking to develop the ad copy, keyword selection and landing page conversion rates that make Adwords profitable, if you don't know your conversion rate you will probably lose lots of money with Adwords.

Search engines rank sites primarily by their text content. You should have a list of 50 or more target search keywords, which you would incorporate in your pages, perhaps adding an introductory paragraph to each category.

You should track the search rank position for each of your target keywords on a regular basis.
You could use for example either the free rankchecker for firefox http://www.link-assistant.com/rank-tracker/ to generate a search ranking report for your list of keywords, and monitor your changes in ranking.

Building a well working keywords list it's not simple: you can get too much visitors that bounce or no visitors.
To build a keywords list I developed some time ago a tool that I use on a daily basis.
A month ago I made this tool free to download on my blog.
I think it can be a good starting point for you.
