Hi guys and gals, I have owned www.theafricangreyparrot.com for a while now and it is getting about 200 uniques a day. I have owned the site since 18-feb-2006 but it is not quite at the top of google yet! It is on the first page, but those last few sites are going to be pretty tought to break. I need a few ideas! I am going to add some better content and articles to the site in the new year. And I recently submitted to quite a lot of free directories but I am running out of ideas - any other suggestions or things I've missed would be great! Thanks in advance Notting
I think you need to submit it to higher PR directories. Also, have you thought about link exchanges with similar pet related websites?
check out those sites who rank better than you site...then improve your site base on your analysis...improving your link popularity might help...exchange links with relevant, quality, and trusted sites...
Try adding the keyword "african grey parrot" hyperlinked more on your site. It is only mentioned once on the site hyperlinked. Check out the following site: http://www.petbirdpage.com/breed.asp?breed=grey It comes first for the keyword in Google. Take a look at how many times African gray parrot mentioned as a link. I also suggest you to send link exchange requests to this sites partners.
2000 index on google quite impressive. There is a image that says "win a parrot book" that is blocking the forums hyperlink. Is this done on purpose?
That's great you've made it to position 2. I'd be a bit cautious about overdoing the keywords though as it can really backfire. Look at this: The African grey parrot has got to be one of the most charming parrots. The African grey parrot has a wonderful character, a combination of intelligence and charm. African grey parrots have been kept as pets for over 4000 years. The Egyptians are thought to be the first to keep the African grey parrot as pets, as depicted in their hieroglyphics. The Greeks also highly valued the African grey parrot as pets, as did the Romans who kept these intelligent birds in highly ornate cages. The tradition of keeping the African grey parrot continued with King Henry VIII keeping one as a pet. Today, the African grey parrot is still kept as a prized pet. That is a lot of repetitions of exactly the same phrase. I'd substitute the word bird once or twice or any other related term. 'course, you are doing just fine without my tuppence worth so I'll just butt out.
