The question is: What to do to beat well established site, that been in the search engines for years? I've been building backlinks, articles in my niche and got to the 2d place in my keywords, but can't beat one site, that has been in the net for many years. However that site does not have any page rank, neither mine. Any suggestions? building more backlinks? i have over 100 good backlinks from articles and directories, the competitve site has less than 20 (and just directories. nothing specail).. Please, any advices?
I think you should keep building backlinks from high PR sites and also your content should be unique with good information.
From my point of view; You should make quality back link that other site has. And also promote your site on social networking base site. It help to increase your instant traffic.
Build links and get some quality content on the site as well. Go over the site and see what the competition is doing and maybe you can do better.
