I have the following SEO problem : For over 2 years a particular web site has ranked NO.1 on UK Google for a particular key word. They have survived ALL updates and even totally re-branded their site (with Oscommerce – so many new pages) They have slightly more page rank than ourselves (They have PR6, but only in recent times – we have PR4) They are by no means the market leaders and the “big boys†don’t seem able to shift them I used to think it was a back link issue but we now have a greater amount and overall better quality I used to think it was a “number of pages issue†but again – nope! We have more unique content than them. They rank NO.1 on Google.com as well as .co.uk We have good linking with anchor text related to key word that we are trying to get up to! The only thing left is that we have an affiliate based site (we used to sell the products but now refer customers to another company, not the one in NO.1 position). How ever when we used to retail the products ourselves we only ever got to pos’ 5 on page one (UK Google) So what am I looking for? I am looking for an SEO to look in to this. I myself have been involved in SEO for 4 years and cant work it out, so if you like a second opinion! I am willing to pay – but not much. This is a curiosity issue rather than a commercial move. Anyone interested please PM me for the URL details. Regards Eddie
