    Hi everyone,

    I never used SEO before so bare with me please. I recently purchased a website that is ranking high for one keyword in google, yahoo and msn. Ranking high means it is third in google, and 5,6 in yahoo and msn for that keyword.

    This keyword is the dominant one for the website and I thought of ways to improve my ranking with that special keyword.

    The purchased website did not have meta tags, and was not optimised for that keyword at all. I changed that, added some headings, added link titles and the like.

    I also ordered someone to add the site to 300 directory sites here at digitalpoint .

    What I need to know now is how fast can I expect a change in ranks if any ? Are rangs recalculated all the time or is it similar to pageranks that it is only every X months ?

    Oh, it would be awesome if you have further tips how I could improve my ranking.

    Hmm next thing is to check your own strength and strength of your competitors for whom you want to beat in rank. :)

    you can do this with nichewatch tool.

    Thanks a lot for the replies. I'am trying my best and it seems it worked well so far. I climbed one rank to second position in google which is really nice. Only one to go ;)
