Trying to Improve SEO (specially google rankings)

Hello guys, I'm helping a site to improve it's performance. I'm not a SEO expert but I know a lot of it, and I know that there is a lot of work needed to be done with this site, but If someone can give me an insight about it, It'll be very appreciated.
We are focusing on the forum right now:

but in the future we will improve the homepage

What I've been wondering is what can I do to improve performances on the site. When I search in google for links pointing to the site, I find just 2!! and the site is listed in DMOz and some other places. The domain has it's good age, the site is very active and nicely developed, but somehow we fail to compete even with sites that have the same PR!!!
Any feedback is welcome, and also any feedback on the design (wich might also be a reason why visitors don't stay).
I'll really appreciate any opinions. I'm starting to build links and that kind of stuff, but maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance!!

 

Nobody? was I asking for to much or not being clear? or is it too much?

I was asking for a review, not services. I don't know

I think bro u need to work on to build more backlinks for this, It's good that you have PR3. It will help the backlinks to get indexed fast.
If possible then direct some backlinks from high PR sites of ur niche , it will rocket ur effort.
Hope it may help to u.

 

Thanks a lot. My main concern that making this thread was "what I may be missing?". I didn't know that Directing links to high PR site from the niche would help. Thanks a lot!

 

i found that your websites page rank is already 3 but for getting good ranking in google search engines, you have to get backlink from high relevant more pr websites through link exchange.

 

thanks a lot, I'm working on that already, but it's good to know that link exchanges can help a bit

 

Build a lot of high PR links. I do offer the service and i know the results it brings to the SERP. I'm not trying to promote my service via your thread but i'm just telling you what can help you get you indexed and rank higher in Google.

building as many as backlinks is a better idea

 

Thanks, but our budget at this point is $0, that's why I'm helping

thanks everyone, I'll keep building links.

 

Hello Dear,

You may do more concentrate on your sites on-page optimization, then your site content. Hope it will work a lot
