The only think my compitor has one me is age....

I am third behind one site that has two pages ranked above me.

The ONLY thing his site has on my is age.

My site has:

More incoming backlinks (All are quality) inclduing DMOZ and Google.
Better on page SEO
Better and more conent

I can't wait till my site gets passes the age point.

Anyone know when this might happen. My site has been online for 6 months and his has been online for 3.8 years.

 

are you sure it's because of the age..

 

age is not such a big deal anymore. better optimisation and better links can win.

 

I am about positive:

My site has 4000 incoming links
Comp. site has 800 incoming
(And yes the quality of my links are better, I have spent alot of time looking at this)

His site has been stagnant for a year.
Mine is updated nearly everyday.

site:"his site" - 1800 results
site: "my site" - 9000 results

He doesn't even use h1,h2, and h3 tags.
My site is optimized to use all three.

His title tags are not well optimized for example "Title - Keyword - Powered by blah blah"
My title tags are simply the keyword.

and on and on.

 

Conventional wisdom and common sense dicates that you're never going to pass his site in age. If the competition is stagnant and dying, why not offer to buy it? Assimilating the competition is an ideal way to defeat it.

 

I have done this. With no reply.

I think he is still making pretty good money.

 

are you talking about the website I know? the competitor has sitelinks too?
idrop me a message with a few details and I will take a look

 

Just keep building more links and keep adding more content. In time you should pass this website. 6 months is a very short period of time for a new website. Perhaps you will earn more trust with Google once your website is at least a year old. You might also need to wait for your backlinks to age before they count for more.

 

Thats odd, just add more meta tags and links. Should boost you.

 

"The only think my compitor has one me is age...."

Well if your on-page optimization keyword spelling is as bad as your spelling on this post, then I would argue he may have that as an advantage as well.

 

Sometimes, domain age matters.
But Generally, It's all about quality works.

 

I was in a hurry today when I was posting this. The spelling on my website is A+. My english eacher would be happy. Nice comment tho....

 

Who has more pagerank you or him?

 

He actually has more pagerank. While I have 4 times as many links I know he probably has had his longer.

But I have some quality edu/dmoz/google dir links that will age nicely.

 

It's not odd! Age of the domain matters in search results. What he needs to do, is to continue link building strategies to his site. Gather more quality links and then wait until big G updates its search result. Adding more content is also advisable, I suggest you focus to fresh and quality ones.

 

yeah agree old site are one factor for Search Engine. other are content, link popularity or your site associate with.
