Podcast Ranking seems odd

Hi there,

My podcast is called Everyone Loves Guitar. We've only been around 7 months, but during that time, we've put out close to 200 Episodes

We also have over 60, 5 * Ratings.

With the exception of one or two other "Guitar" shows, we have more shows and higher ranks than most of the rest.

Yet, when you enter "Guitar" search in the store... We come up closer to the bottom than the top.

Can anyone give me any reasons why this might be - and... if there is a "solution" - some guidance on how to rank higher. "Work harder" can't be the answer here lol as we're producing daily shows.

Anyway, thanks in advance and hope this doesn't come across as complaining. I'm just trying to understand how the system works, if in fact, anyone has any insight here at all

Take care, Craig

Craig - Correct - keep doing what you are doing.

In your libsyn account go to "Destinations" and then click on "Edit" for libsyn classic feed - there you will see a field called "Author" - in that box you can put in some info about you the host - this shows up under your title - so keep it very brief and do NOT spam that box. Something like "Craig Garber world renown Guitar Instructor" or something similar where guitar is included - will help.

Then when you publish new episodes in your libsyn account - under tab 2 - where you put in the title and description - scroll down to the bottom and you will see the iTunes author tag at the episode level - put in something there as well. Again do NOT spam.
