Still Not Enough

Let's assume that I have a website and I want to rank #1 for keyword "XY". I submit to article directories, directories, make link exchanges, find some partners, but still no #1.

Link directories, partners, link exchanges and article directories provided me the anchor text I wanted "XY".

Now what can I do ?

 

please clear your question..

 

No where in there did you mention anything about optimizing your own website...

 

If you are competing against sites which do double the work you do, then they will do better.

The only thing to do is to work harder than them.

Note: assuming all other factors are equal.

 

No one types that in so why rank for it?

 

I highly doubt he meant 'XY' literally...he wants to keep the exact keyword a secret

 

ah ic, well in that case its hard to say we kind of need to know what it is to get you ranking their! Pm me if you like

 

Its not the number of links but the quality of the links.......you might do the above and have more links than your competition but if they have better quality links then they will be ranked higher.....plus they are many other factors such as whether you have a penalty, on page seo, originality of content, domain age.....literally hundreds of factors go into ranking

 

Perhaps your efforts are not enough. Continue to do what you're doing.

 

You need to be patient and work hard for it. Remember that you're not the only SEO who wants their site to be on top of search engine.

 

Yes , this might be true, I have to invest more time.

 

You certainly do ...this is the number one best way to get things done

 

Keep plugging away - sometimes, hard work is required.

 

Sign up for a Google sitemap account and check your site's status from there. It provides lots of useful info

 

Is "XY" in your pages title tag? And at the start of the title?

 

What competition is for that phrase ?

Just wait it took me like 8 month to get in top10 for a 40 milion results keyphrase

It's olso about time
