Exactly! get backlinks alot of them, forum signatures are great just make sure you put the keyword you want in the anchor text good luck
Don't forget to adding new content to your site. Blogs can be good as well for signatures and adding a blog to your site.
Yeah, post new content and build quality links. Maybe worth buying some blog posts about your site, they are indexed quickly by the search engines and can help maintain a buzz about your site. buy them gradually and link them to your new content.
ahh good, just do what im doing then , but the only way to get above the higher PR sites ontop of me if to have higher PR then? since its a battle for the same key word. Diying for the page rank update... (i know doesnt mean much since im not getting swarms of students in my site but it does give u a sense of achivement)
PR not the main thing, in my case. I have one site 1st position with PR n/a with compitition over 1m... and onther PR4 somewhere in 22... domain and then content... then backlinks.. depence...
"is there anyway to get above the others considering i have no Page rank yet?" Is your site New ? If yes, then the reason for your site being on top and on 5th place is that, google give a new content boost to new pages and new sites. Google rank them very high as google love new content. But after few days, suvh pages or sites are vanished from search results. Anyway, build lots of back links. Try to get high quality + relevant links.
make sure your main page doesent get too big register your domain for a long time(might help build trust) make sure your internal linking is good, if possible have every page link to every page watch your outbound links
Continue to promote and build more link on your site. You have to watch your keyword or maybe tomorrow it's in nowhere.
I think, if you're trying to rank on UK Search engines, you should also gun for UK backlinks, that normally helps (it helped me, i'm higher ranked on .co.uk than on .com)
im probly getting the content boost then since my sites only 1 month old. From that term i got 5-20 uniques a day but ive swapped over to google analytics so we'll see what that shows. Guess ill start on UK backlinking since its my best target extended my domain name as well now created Mon 02/25/2008 Fri 02/25/2011 expires
