Opinions on these results (Traffic Travis & Market Samurai analysis)

[ElectroArticles]

I'm just wondering if anyone can take a look at the following two screenshots (posted both MS and TT as i know some people prefer one to the other) and give me a little feedback.

I have a site within the top 15 for this keyword and have had a consistent rank for the past 4 months while doing -no- SEO (in last last 4 months), except for posting a few articles that don't target this main keyword too much (they target related keywords, but not long-tails).

What is your impression of these results? Do these look like the kind of results that you would accept as something you can overtake in the rankings?

Lastly, if you were among the sites between 9 and 15, what might you improve upon / what would be your strategy to improving your rank?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated

There are many things that you can do.. What kinda of techniques have you been using?

The wikipedias are going to be bitches to pass. Expect a decent amount of time and a decent budget for SEO. Other than that, not a problem.

I've been trying to stick as much to white hat techniques as possible.

I've done article marketing and spread around 60-70 articles around different directories, each of them unique and only used that one time (I essentially got them free as my article writer gave up half way through the deal and said he didn't need the money :S).

I have a few Web 2.0 sites with unique articles on them.

I'm a member of a page rank 6 blog as a guest poster.

I've built about 3 smaller sites all closely related to this one, all pointing back.

I've got some listings in link directories (not thousands of them) and have been able to get links on some purely info sites related to the niche (all with PR2+).

Other than that i use Jonathan Leger's 3WayLinks.
I'm too weary of doing anything to the site directly that could possibly hurt it, but i am about to send 150k links to the backlinks (split between other sites too, so there shouldn't be 150k just randomly popup indirectly favouring this site.)

Yeah they will be an absolute pain, it's taken a while to get to where i am now (took 5 months to get to the top 10, i've been dotting between 9 and 13 at some points but that susided and i've had a consistent rank since.

If it's not a problem, then i'm sure i will get there in the end, it's just a matter of time

Well it seems i've got a bit of a dance going on, i've been bumped up by 4 ranks some time between last night and now, so i'll be keeping an eye on what happens over the next few weeks and hopefully it settles in a good spot.

Just keep building backlinks for 3-6 months non-stop.

Mix them up, authority + low quality ones.

Getting to #7 is easy, the rest will take time.

Is there anyway, we can get results from Travis in different countries?
