    When I stared doing SEO on this website that time I thought this is not going to be a tough job but now nothing according to plan. I thought I'll take my site in Google top 10 within six months but its more than 8 months now and my site is on 23 position in Google :cry: I want to take my site in Google top 10 on IITJEE and my site is http://www.100percentile.com here is the home page of our site for IITJEE keyword http://www.100percentile.com/iitjee suggest me what to do?

    You are right, you need to work harder.

    Do some research on SEO and SEO your site properly. For example, you haven't even used any headings on the IITJEE page. Headings are important for telling people (and search engines) what the page is about. And don't stuff your <title> with keywords.

    You need to work on quality of your pages, otherwise your efforts won't be fruitful. And clean up your <title>, it looks more like a page for search engines than for humans.

    I think the home page is a little light on text this could do with some attention.

    This isn't the place to solicit business srinivas26. There is a whole buy, sell or trade forum for that.

    Not harder, smarter as Sinol pointed out :) For instance what are the key strengths of the top 10 sites? Learn more about them and try to apply the same tactics to your own site.

    Many people think that SEO is an easy job but they are wrong; especially when you want to optimize for a keyword that is highly competitive, you have to do a lot of smart cum hard work. Achieving the first page in the google SERP may be difficult and but retaining that place for some time is still more difficult. To start with go for less competitive words and do the SEO and then try for the more competitive ones. Wish you the best :)

    Go out and get links to your website with the anchor text being your keyword.

    I think of link building SEO tactics as this:

    Let's say that you are unsure whether the earth is round or not.

    If 10 people tell you that the world is round, are you still unsure? Yes.

    If 1,000,000 people tell you that the world is round, are you still unsure? Probably not.

    Sites with more backlinks pointing to them with the correct anchor text will outrank those that do not have as many. It also helps to have backlinks from authority websites.

    Back to the previous example:

    If 100 people who never graduated grade school told you the earth was round, are you unsure? Yes.

    If a professor at Harvard told you the earth was round, are you unsure? No.

    Summary: You need links that concern your keywords.

    EDIT: You are on the first page of Google for your keyword. What is the problem?

    What if it was a professor of philosophy and they said the earth was cuboid? :)

    The professor certainly has authority, but in a different sphere.

    Good analogy though!

    Well, you understand what I was trying to say.

    What if an PR7 Math related .edu site linked to www.example.com with the anchor text "AP Calculus AB Practice?" First page, we go.

    But I know what you mean.

    Don't know how hard you have worked on this
    Problem with SEO is you have to be smart about it. Don't neglect onpage factors and monitor all your link building. The amount of sites that now use the no follow attribute is increasing all the time.

    Harder- probably not
    Smarter- Definitely yes
