    Hi guys and gals,

    My first website is www.dogbreedforums.com
    I love writing it, but without any traffic it will be hard to get the forum going. I have around 70 pages of information and listed in several directories.

    It seems as though my keywords might be off or my "niche" is too competitive. I am not sure but any advice would be GREATLY appreciated. I am not sure who to ask anymore! I paid for a coach at SBI, but no one gives me any clear indications.

    1. how old your site? (1-3 months you can't get many vstr on competitive keywords)
    2. build many links asap..

    seo is about content and links, more link it's means more vstr to your site. that's all

    You need to build some backlinks with anchor text to your main page and few backlinks to every post.
    I would try to promote it in some dog forums also (put your link in signature), blog comments, youtube videos and etc.

    try to build some backlinks using target keywords in anchor text. Social Media is also very popular and useful way to promote website and bring traffic to website.

    organic search engine optimization, involves appealing to the search engines guidelines through the proper use of keywords, site structure, content, link building. All of these combined actions will help to increase your websites popularity and relevance and you will achieve higher rankings in the natural results of the major search engines.

    Here are a few things that will get you in search engines:

    -select a keyword and incorporate that keyword frequently in your article titles, content, and metatags.

    -figure out ways to get other sites to link to your site and do not link to too many other sites

    -create an about page, contact page, terms of service page, and privacy policy page if you can, since Google actually rewards sites for this.

    Thanks for the tips. I guess those general ideas I know about. But, what are good keywords. I have looked and placed them accordingly, but maybe they are the supply is too high? Also yahoo is showing a ton of spam inlinks and I don't know why they are there. Would that hurt me?
