How does this site rank so well

[Bross]

Seems like you are targeting quantity and not quality which ends up you being in quandaries.

The most powerful backlinks that usually make the difference are hidden.
Everyone is copying everyone - Getting Yahoo/Google backlinks and starting to spam all over. This is part of the history now and there are much more complex methods for inter-site linking and actually the most powerful ones are not visible in backlink lookups. This is why only very few make it to the top.

But yes, it can improve your ranking based on the anchor text.

I'd be confident in saying the onsite SEO is an A to A+. There is always room for improvement but I am confident with the onsite SEO...

Another question, I noticed that the landing page with the targeted keyword, on the competitor site has only 55 backlinks(yahoo), all relevant I would imagine that this would make the task a bit easier?

Lets say I build 1000 backlinks to with the targeted keyword as the anchor text, would this be enough?

The 2nd ranking site has only 1 backlink to the landing page for the keyword, but 28,000 for sitewide..

I would take a guess that they actually have more than 38k backlinks as yahoo site explorer still doesn't show all of them!

But other than that it is still possible! Focus on automation and building up a strong network of links to your website and linking to each page of your site to help with the indexing and start outranking the competitor for the longer tail keyphrases and then target the main one (makes it a lot easier).

If your looking for an SEO team to do this for you then send me a PM with the keyword, your site and a monthly budget you can reasonably afford and i can see what i can do for you (minumum for all clients is $500 a month but that's the bare minimum).

Thanks

Could you expand on this? There does not seem to much discussion on internal-linking methods...



I am the seo "team"! lol, so outsourcing this would be a little self-defeating

For example, I'm a artist. I have my personal art website and know how important it is that my webpages show up in Google and other search engines. The question is.. how the people find me?

SEO, is a term that encompasses all the different techniques you can use to help your website become more visible in Google, Yahoo, or any other search engine.
So... if a lot of websites start linking to you, Google and Yahoo will start ranking your website higher and higher in their search results pages!!!
and...Faster sites create happy users !!!
