I've been getting some nice ranks for several of my sites in a popular market. However, there's one key term that I KNOW has a lot of buyer traffic... but I can't nail any of the top spots. I have done all I can see possible to get there, including getting several high PR links (including one from Apple.com), personally posting 100's of blog comments, writing 100's of articles, posting in many free directories and even posting 30 videos on YouTube. Are there are any other ways to get links to my site? I have not paid for links but have some money to spend on that.
It's usually quite easy to get to page 2 or 3 and then it's much more difficult to move foward as it takes longer and more effort. It took me about six month to get to the first page (was 6,7,8) and then took about 8 months to move from 7 to 3 on the first page.
Cool! Well I have like 3 sites on Page 2 right now. One of them was made last April and has a lot of good links.
