if you google my keyword "increase your vertical" the first few sites have 100~ backlinks, the 3rd one doesn't seem to have ANY backlinks! http://www.increaseyourvertical.net -> competitor site http://www.increaseyourverticalhq.com -> my site i have 510 backlinks, he has 10. WHY THE FUCK IS HE RANKING SO HIGH. im on the top of page 2 and all the other pages are like ezine article pages and shit, its been like 2 or 3 weeks.. i was at the top of page 2 a few days ago, and yesterday i dropped to the middle of page 2, then i did 20 or so forum comments with my keywords in anchor text hyperlinked on related forums -- then i went back up on page 2. why why why why why is it like this?
How long have you been waiting for this? Sometimes sites don't move up particularly fast. Since ezine articles are ranking perhaps you could to add an ezinearticle or two with links back. You can also add an article or two to other sites such as work.com, hubpages, squidoo etc. This might even help you dominate the results in the end anyhow.
This post just proves that getting a bunch of backlinks doesn't guarantee rankings. But it's ok, continue to do that while I make sites that have 10 backlinks that continue to rank higher than yours. It's ok, keep listening to the gurus. Please do so that I can continue to outrank you easy. Also, that guys site is a year older than yours. lol. Want to see something else that will boggle your mind? http://verticaljumptraining.org/ has 0 backlinks total and ranks very nicely for that term. Well, now he has 1 backlink because I just posted it here.
