    Hi,
    I have some money to invest into SEO but I'd like to invest it wisely. I have a web hosting website: www.impliweb.com and i would like it to be on the first page of Google for the following keywords: 'Web Hosting UK' and/or 'UK Web Hosting' and/or 'UK Web Hosting Company'.

    What do you think is the best thing i should invest my money into? Buying quality links? Buying links in directories? Or is there anything on the website (text, links, meta tags, etc) i should change to help optimise it better for Google?

    All advice is welcome. :) I don't mind spending a lot of money to get my results in as long as the money i spend isn't wasted.

    I am hoping to reach my goal in 2-3 years. This wont be easy to pull off though, but i think ill get there in the end.

    Uk Web Hosting - 70,069 searches/month
    Web Hosting UK - 29,340
    Uk Web hosting Company - 5,216

    The problem is targeting that competitive of a keyword right now is unrealistic and you won't be able to do it with directory or recip links.

    What about 'Web Hosting London'?

    Also i understand the competition for these keywords are incredibly huge. Which is why i know i am going to have to spend a lot of money. Which is also why i asked the best things i should do in order to help me achieve this.

    Thanks again.

    ranking one the first page for web hosting is very tough. I estimate that it would take about 1 year of very hard work to get to this. The top guy is NetSol. They have a PR of 8 and have over 5,000 backlinks in google. Web hosting is very tough. I use to SEO for a major webhosting company and getting to the second page was very very difficult.

    Good job, well done.

    Now its time to break the bread-line (first page) and get some serious traffic, any interesting discoveries on your way to these results?

    Yeah breaking the 'bread-line' is going to be hard. I have been doing some tests and stuff on different ways to get higher SERP... but its too early to tell if this has worked well...

    On page 11 for website hosting, so I'd say you're making some good progress.
