@OP: If your really struggling that bad you could just hire an SEO firm...

... In all seriousness though not sure whether you are doing this for the experience or for profit but, simple logic is... If you can't do something yourself, find somebody who can.

So you can ignore them as those kind of links have little to no value.
I just kind of ran through this thread and it is rather late here for me... I'll take a closer look over the weekend and hopefully give you some constructive criticism that can help you.
Im doing it more for my personal knowledge and succes. Hiring some other party to do the job for me is the last thing on my list of options.

This is pretty much the answer.
Anyone looking at my money site will see about 4000 links - unless they look harder they'll miss the couple of hundred thousand (maybe a million - who knows?) pointing at those 4000.
I didnt check all his links,but i checked the web 2.0 and and a redirect domain,the domain isnt giving out anything,not one link,and the articles and 2.0 have nada .

So Shakabut sent me his domain, his competitors and the desired keyword. Without putting out that information, here were just a few of the problems I noticed. I stopped looking after a minute. These things should be addressed first.
I'm not. I can see a shit load of reasons why your not ranking. First, why are you even trying to rank for that key? It's a horrible keyword and gets no traffic. But anyway...
1.) You have NO H1 tag with your desired key.
2.) Your keyword is NOT in your meta description
3.) Your keyword is NOT in your meta keywords
4.) Your keyword is NOT in your title
5.) Phrase occurence is ZERO
6.) You have no outbound authority links
7.) Some wont agree, but you have a .info, he has a .com.
Should I go on?

Common man i may be a noob but im not that much.check out the source code for every page ,every meta tag is there .
Traffic travis doesnt detect my Metas either,but Website grader does.
Also check out the footer link list for authority out links

Listen, count of links isn't always the determining factor. Best example, a niche I'm in for a decent keyword(10k exact) , the number 1 site has maybe 20 links, but those links are really solid. Were talking contextual pr3-pr5 links with the right anchor. Been trying to outrank him for a while. Both of our sites are fairly aged, he's got the emd .org and I've got the emd .com. What I'm trying to say is take a closer look at his links

it is simple. The guy's web site has trust while you have not gained the trust yet. Or it could be that the guy's site has been seen as an authority by the bots while yours has not yet achieved that milestone. You can either wait a few more months or buy links from trusted web sites.

many people overlook quality outbound links.. maybe try this.. also internal link sturcture.. one tacktic you should try is to get all the links that the top 10 competitors have.. list them all down and go through one by one trying to get the links from the same wesite as the competitors

All good advice. If this is a big payout when you rank you gotta stay with it.
But giving it a break and doing something else is what I would do after I tried the next set of ideas that i liked.
