    Maybe they have an older domain. Or maybe they have links from more websites.

    You can have 10 sitewide links with 100 links on each site = 1000 links

    They can have 500 single links on 500 different sites = 500 links

    Their links > your links

    Try to copy some of their links if possible. Just work at getting more quality links and add more quality content to your site. In time you should pass those sites.

    Yes but do they have links from more sites? You can have more links in total, but links on less websites (if you've used sitewide links)

    Keep on building backlinks, also try deep linking to internal pages and be sure to vary your anchor text.

    Be careful not to acquire too many backlinks too quickly, as Google sees that as natural

    I suggest a max of 4-6 per day

    Continue to add backlinks and then wait for the next update to come around. Build build build and google will come.

    Theres no "update to come round". The serps update daily/hourly, the only thing that updates on a set timescale really is toolbar pagerank.

    Verify your on-page SEO. It sound link you are missing something there. What is the URL of the site? And what about traffic on these sites?

    Backlinks is not the sole factor that determine your SERP. There are other criteria which google will take into consideration some of it like, keyword usage, on-page SEO, amount of content...
