Did EVERYTHING ... yet no results?? Wanting to give up...

Well to be fair, he doesn't need 1000's of backlinks like the poster said.

2500 backlinks means pretty much nothing... it's ALL about the quality. Even Matt Cutts himself has said (in many videos) that a couple good quality backlinks are better than hundreds if not thousands of backlinks that carry no weight.

If I may;
Yes you can get to the top of the serps in a very short period of time.
I taught a friend of mine how to build his very 1st site, he had never seen keyword research before, never done much more that email and surf, certainly had never built a website before.

His very 1st site was #3 1st page in Google in 13 hours,
It then did the dance and when the dust settled he was at #1 1st page and still is, I just Googled his key word and picked and typed a random upper case in the term to break the temp cache and yep still #1.

So, yes you can do it!

It breaks down to math.
1 site
G says [33,100] searches
You rank #1
You get about 52% of that traffic or about 17,000 per month (give er take)
You average $20 per M unique's in adsense
You have one aff link to a CB product or CPA that's in the same niche it's worth $5 per M unique's
You use Info links ect.. worth $4-5 per M unique's

Each site makes you $510 per month so lets say only $250 real world
You build 3 per day and write articles for 3 per day.
You take no days off for 30 days strait (I didn't say this was for W.A.B.S.)
Over the next 3 months you do nothing but get and keep them ranked.

End of 3 months your at $7,500 a month. (will you make exactly this? No, yes, More Maybe?, it's up to you). (is that exactly how it will look after that time frame NO!!!!!!!!!!!, but ok so you're makin 5K, still an extra 5 G's helps out around the house).

1. yes it can be done.
2. Yes you can find that many key words w/that much traffic. I have one niche with more than the 30 sites example that I am working right now.
3. Please do not pooh Haw this info because it is do able.

I only write this because I want people to realize you can do it, but you have to work your nards off.
The biggest secret ain't no secret it's called sweat!

SEO doesn't work as you think, it requires a look of patience and page rank has never grown overnight. The reasons why you are not ranking high is because your site is still new. Do some little marketing and relax your nerve, its going to take some time.

You know all these people have been commenting about alot of things and only a few have actually given decent CONSTRUCTIVE criticism and help. What you should look to do - offsite SEO is what Im mainly experienced in- is creating a variety of backlinks: social bookmarking, article submissions, profile backlinks, forum posts in relevant forums with your site used in the signature, linkwheels, directories, high page rank blog commenting backlinks are fantastic!!! You should also social bookmark the urls where you blog comment and you see results faster. You do these things especially the blog commenting on high pagerank pages and you will see results. Try a large number of profile backlinks - 1000 or so and you will see your site jump up in the search results.

As for on site SEO there were some good suggestions. And dont worry about you web address - you dont need to have your keywords within it. Just make sure you use your keywords as the anchor text for the term you want to rank high for.

One thing I would say is your trying to sell a product/ebook whatever it needs to be more promient than it is now. Some people just offer a sales page with very little value/content to the user. You have went the other way, which is great for the user but not so good for you. Your ebook/affiliates or whatever it is (if anything) needs to be more promient.

And backlinks are everything if your in a competitive niche. I understand you can rank highly for low competitive words but to really get up there, you need high PR backlinks. And lots of them.

Good luck mate

oh and pagerank - dont worry about it - it may take you 3-4months before you get a rank but it doesnt matter. My competiton was a PR5 i overtook them with a brand new domain within 3months. Mine is a PR4.

I have two suggestions. Keep consistently backlinking this site. Do it every day if you can.

And while you're waiting for results on this site, go ahead and start a second site. Then start backlinking it too.

Maybe choose something related, but with a little less competition so you can see results faster. A less competitive site will also prove to you that your methods are working and will just take longer for the first site.

I agree with the first suggestion keep baclinking.
I disagree with the second. If your thinking of "giving up" you need to make sure you concentrate on the ONE site. trust me do everything I said above and you will see results. It is worth it.

What a silly niche. I seem to have no trouble gaining weight

Actually I would agree with 2 - 3 or 4-5 sites.
Why? Because not every single site hits. Some do, some don't.
I would love to hear from anyone who has built over 50 sites as a minimum requirement tell me that all 50 hit and are good producers.

So, if you only have one site and it does not hit, well you could get your gray matter bent around that and not know that your very next site (maybe) would have hit and you'd be at 50% which for any new person would be pretty good averages (I think).

So, I would have to agree with a few sites I would even say 4 to 6 and take the good ones and build them out to larger high quality sites.
And whatever you do only build REAL quality sites, no scraper, PLR junk.
Don't build them on any free platforms that YOU don't control.

Why? Because then you have a real business with real web properties and you should never have to worry about waking up one day and it's all gone.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it, Seeee!
