My blog http://www.jumbledat.blogspot.com has now been listed by google, but when you search "jumbledat", its only on the second page. My threads in this forum appear in front of it! How can i most easily and successfully boost my listing at least to the front page?? (being an unusual term, there's only about three pages of results anyway).
Why do you want to boost that? Do you know how many people searched for that term this year according to Overture? 0 So how is that going to help your traffic?
probably a link or two from decent sites with that word as your anchor text.. or just give it time. age is a factor and looking at the keyword, if you post regularly to your blog it shouldn't take much time for you to move up.
give it time. I would guess that you created the site a week to a month ago and expect instant rankings...no matter what the term, google values a site that has been around for a while. You will be there eventually...give it 4 months.
