ofcourse they are not ALL relevant. i am thinking of adding a couple .gov .edu to see what happends... actually i saw on google today i am on 12 place right now...maybe its google dance i dont know but yeasterday i was on 16 now 12. i am also thinking of doing some proper seo job. my site has 60 seo score ...that must to go up to atleast 85.
Its not a matter of backlinks, that is fully depends upon the regular updates and age of the site........,
there are many ways to be considered to be number # 1. It does just not mean that the more backlinks you have the more you will be in higher pR.
Did you analyzed your competitors backlinks ? They have strongest backlinks than you, or higher amount of them. That is the only reason i think.
approach sites in your niche and ask them to put a link on their site - it is worth a try. Otherwise you can always buy backlinks on High PR sites!
yeah i have looked at a couple of them and they have not a near as many backlinks as I have but they have High PG backlinks wich i dont have many of. yeah i am looking at a couple of things to boost my rankings even more and dominate this keyword on google, but i have so many sites its hard to get the time to really focus on it but i will. my site has actually 15K backlinks right now and i rank 12-13 i think but i am looking to boost that.
How did you get 15k backlinks? How did you get 5k links fast? Google will not like this... Also, what program are you using? What's your URL?
I would suggest, just keep building links on the keyword you are targeting, You will one day get to the result. It might be that the site on the first page are having more heavy backlinks than yours, Keep the hard work on and you will see the desired results one day!!!
