    Hello. I run some fansites and i have one that ranks top of page 2 for "britney Spears".

    I keep changing my layout to see if i can rank better but im always stuck at first 4 positions of page 2.

    My objective is to get page 1. even if at the bottom.

    Do you believe an wordpress SEO theme would help me?
    My page fully validates, except the "pop up" and 1 ad code.

    Do you know any theme that could help me out? Im already using SEO plugin.
    Thanks guys
    my url: www.britneyfans.org

    Changing to wordpress will not automatically increase your rankings - it may even hurt.

    You might be better off concentrating on other keywords - the competition you are up against are some authority sites like wikipedia, people.com, TMZ, myspace, her official site, etc., which are going to be very hard to outrank.

    Getting more authority backlinks will be your best bet is you want to try and compete with them - and your competition also has the advantage of domain age, a factor google uses.

    With your forum, I don't see any backlinks to the main site, if you use the anchor text britney spears in the footer it'll be an extra link.


    Also, it wouldn't hurt to no follow those links in the blog roll. No follow the about page also.

    Change that big picture of Britney to link back to your home address as well.


    Have you thought about doing some article writing and including 'britney spears' and a linkback to your site? That might help to get some linkbacks.

    Otherwise you might need to target another keyword. If you do decide to do that, target something with britney spears in it. Anything in this list is going to provide significant traffic.

    Make sure your permalink structure is beneficial. Instead of www.yourblog.com/?p=4. Get something like www.yourblog.com/category/blogtitle. An easy way to get better rankings. Also get more backlinks and use <strong> in your posts around your main keywords so <strong>Britney Spears</strong>

    to increase rankings you need to build up more links.
