    DVD software is a satured market. What are the keywords you have with position on the first page of Google? And what are the queries on the Google? Not all keywords can bring huge traffic.

    PR7 Wow!
    I think you should start posting a lot of new and unique content in your niche, and you will get traffic from many keywords as your website is already an authority site.

    Here are the 60 keywords you rank # 1 for in Google.
    The 1 is the position in Google, the number out to the right is the estimated clicks per day you should be getting. It adds up to be just about what you say you are getting.

    To me the site has A LOT of text. Good for SEO, bad for buyers. I think more screen shots of the software with blurbs on how easy this will make a customer's life, save them time, make their family happy.... all those emotional things that grabs attention might help.

    And I think there is a lot of market saturation as well. You have great ranking and great PR.
    This just goes to show how you have to have a strong call to action when the customer lands on your doorstep or they're going to just click away.

    As I have read in one of the google pages..... You should keep the "DOWNLOAD" button at the top......... People rarely scroll to click on the download link..... It was said that... download of google's one of the application.... increased after they moved the download button to a place where people would see the button without scrolling the page...

    I think there are many software in that kind in the market. Like Photo MovieTheater, Windows Movie Maker and so on. so u need to improve the function of the software rather than website itself.

    A few tips for you. First check the actual traffic for each of your keywords because if the keyword is generating only 75 visitors a month, then being #1 becomes irrelevant. Use googles own tool to do this. I don't think I am allowed to put the url here for google tool but you can pm me and I will give it to you. The tool also has the ability to give you google's suggestions for the best keywords for your website which is handy. You want to be top in keywords that will bring you the traffic you want. Some keywords actually bring none. It is amazing.

    When doing a website, writing for search engines and writing for buyers, visitors are not quite the same thing so to enable your website to do both, you add either flash or banners for the visitors leaving your good content for the search engines. With your ranking, you must have written fairly well for the search engines. The search engines including google do not read the content displayed WITHIN banners and flash. Position this so your buyers visitors are hit with it when they immediately see your website. KISS - Keep it simple and SELL, SELL!!

    You are right in that you need to follow your keyword rankings because just removing a keyword, even just moving it can affect your ranking. It is, however, not instant, as you have to wait until google visits you. You can use the website adolix to track them. They are free. I use a paid system that I love that is called: 'Advanced Web Ranking'. I think it goes for about $200 though and you have to pay for renewals I believe periodically. You can brainstorm though and no limits on the number of keywords you track.

    A good way to find how MANY real competitors you have for a specific keyword is to go to the google search box and enter in this information: pages: "keyword" Where I placed keyword is exactly where you place the keyword you want information about. On your results, at the top of the page will be a number google reports. That is the number of actual webmasters google states is competiting for that keyword. Say you find a keyword where the competition is 5,000 but the traffic from google's tool states the monthly traffic is 20,000 a month, then that would be what is called a 'hot' keyword to target to reach top in fairly easy. Keep in mind, there is stillt the matter of optimization properly and enough backlinks to successfully compete but that info is available too.

    Hope this helped you as it appears you have a basically good website. Just needs some tiny help. I have been doing this over 9 years so have discovered shortcuts, successful researching tools, etc. You will get there if you work on it. DON"T FORGET. SALES ARE STILL GOVERNED TO PEOPLE BY REAL AD COPY SIMILAR TO WHAT WORKS IN THE REAL WORLD. Read the newspaper. Watch TV. Create a banner or flash that works. Should help you immensely.

    Great site with PR7, i think you need premium themes, your design look old. Try using modern themes.
