Hi All,

Found this wonderful community in hope to gain some advice! I own a small business and looking to use the website to target local keywords, the competition is there but it is not huge.

The website is eastmidlandsit.co.uk

And they key words I am specifically targeting are: it support derby, pc repair derby and laptop repair derby.

I am building links as much as I can and trying to optimise the site as best to my knowledge.

Please could you provide me with some advice as to how I can maximise the results with these keywords. Any help would be huge! If I can help you in anyway please let me know.

Thank you all,

Leon. - East Midlands IT.

      This is an assumption as I have not does research on the stated keyword. But it does not seem like a keyword with lots of searches so the competetion is unlikely to be high. Therefore ranking for it should not be difficult. It would help if you throw up an article featuring the keyword.

    Article marketing using EZineArticles is a great start, but works best with Volume, get someone elase to write the articles to speed it up and keep going! Lots of Action!

    Top ranking is more work than brain power!

    1) Do not submit your site to over 50 directories in a month.This types of directories where you can be sure that your site will appear.
    2) Do not do a link exchange wide.Site large site across the entire site.
    3) Do not place your link in the signature of the forums.
    4) Do not create sites in the same IP address for the exchange of links between them.
    This is the advice of Seo hope it helps people to improve performance.

      Do following...

      On-Page Optimization - title tags, meta tags, description, keywords, content, alt attributes, robots.txt, h1/h2 tags and sitemap.

      Off-Page Optimization - article submission, blog commenting, forum posting, classified ads, press release, online group posting, link exchange, social bookmarking, hub page, link wheel and squidoo are just some of them.

    It also helps to make sure that your business listing always includes a link to your website. Most people know about listings like Google Maps, but there are a lot more out there that you can take advantage of. These listings will not only improve your backlink profile, but will also directly drive traffic to your site.

    Hey Leon,

    just had a look at your website. I like the purpose for sure, and you
    did a great job.

    I suggest adding more posts and pages, targeting different keywords
    and also products. You need to provide more value and information
    within a post. Posts over 500-600+ words are great for ranking well.

    What about backlinking? Tell us more about this subject.

    Hi Leon,

    Have you tried submitting a Press Release about your new business? If not I would definitely do it. The press release needs to be newsworthy and interesting. It could be an announcement of news related to your site. You can get your link distributed on hundreds of websites almost overnight. The press release must contain a link back to your site. Select a distribution service where your link is active and you can specify the link text with your keywords.

    Build only quality and relevant links with those sites that have good PR in the search engine. Start article marketing and add your link with key word anchor text in your resource box. Make your resource box informative thus people will automatically drive towards your site.

    On Page Optimization

    One thing I can see is your title tag.I believe that the title tag will be effective if it has 10-63 character long and yours is 121.

    Off page optimization

    Article submission
    Forum participation
    Social media marketing
    Social bookmarking
    Blog comment (Be careful and post some relevant comment)
