    Hi,

    I have a new site 4-month old domain, the site has been indexed by google for about two months, and has grown some excellent backlinks.

    Current backlinks are about 6,000 on yahoo. There are some sites that rank for our major keyword on pages two, and three with almost no backlinks, 100-300.

    But yet our site is way back on page 19 for our major keyword we want to rank for.

    Any ideas or experiences on how long before our site starts ranking decent.

    Where do you get majority of your backlinks, are they from sites with relevant keywords? What is your main keyword (phrase) if it's not a secret? If it's a single keyword or very popular phrase, I think it can be extremely difficult to rank on the first page. If you could provide us with a link to your website we could give you a better analysis.

    :)

    Only the top 12 websites on google have more links than my site. The links are relevent, ony-way and contain anchor text i want to rank for.

    Are you sure your onpage optimization is good? How old are the sites of your competitors?
    What's the competition in that niche? 6000 links should be more than enough to rank high for a lot of keywords.

    Some are highly fought over. I have one 10 year old site that I have done everything to you could suggest seo wise yet never goes above pr3...any other niche I feel it would be a pr7 site at least.
    With other niches I easily rank 1# on google and get pr 4-6 really fast.

    A really compeditive niche can cause a headache in se's.

    I find with new sites that they get a jump in the SERPs on google every 3 months or so up to around the one year mark. After that increases in SERPs performance seem more explicable.

    look, google is going to have to decide that you are a better source than the others.

    That is going to probably take quality links from hight powered niche specif blogs and site.

    I dont' know if google looks at bounce rate but i'm sure they want the people they send to you to find what they are looking for.

    Also do all the seo stuff like metatags and keywords within content but I think the links and sources are pretty heavy.
