So I have been doing SEO for a couple moving websites and just wanted to get some tips/opinions. One of the sites I have got to the number one position for the search term "vancouver movers" and the other site just does not want to move up there. I have never seen this before where a site just sites in a position after all the link building I have done. The url of the site is: Pinnacle Moving

    Add more content to the site, and "manufacture" a sudden rash of traffic.

      For the site or just in general?

    i have seen this before, loads of times. it's even worse with client sites. dsometimes, pages just will not move no matter what you do to them. it's always been a source of confusion and annoyance for me.

      Yes i just find it so weird. I am following the same marketing techniques that I did to get another site to the number one position for the search term "vancouver movers," yet this site isn't getting the same rankings.

        Looking at your source code I didn't find any keywords.
        <meta name="keywords" content=""/> nothing follows.

        If you want to rank for a keyword or phrase, I think it would help
        to have it/them in your source code, not just your articles.

          Hi Ken: If you search for keywords in the source code you will see them further down the page. You scared me for a sec there. I was thinking what?! how did I miss that?

    I suggest that you optimize your site for the keyword your trying to rank for. Sometimes just a few changes here and there will improve your ranking.

    <meta name="keywords" content="vancouver movers"/> - add more keywords.

    You are #6 which is not bad.

    You need to do more keyword research. I find a bunch of keywords not being used on the site.

        they might not know that they can rank for other keywords as well. The more keywords the more options they have to increase traffic. I can give you some keywords with exact searches if needed.

          Sorry I wasn't very clear. I am targeting vancouver movers, movers in vancouver, and vancouver moving companies from different pages throughout the site.

          The main keyword they are concerned with though is vancouver movers. That's the keyword that i'm wondering why the sites rankings aren't improving.

    I see 310 PR0 backlinks for that page - the main domain itself is showing at position 5 in MS for me rather than the page. i.e. pinnacle movers.com
    Maybe a few higher PR backlinks to page will help?
