Hello everybody, I have been building backlinks to my site that is not in a very competitive niche, the TOP # 1 has 12,000 backlinks.
I have 11,000 backlinks and am at # 7 in SERPS
but something bothers me a long time, there are many competitors in front of me who have neither backlinks and 300 are in front of me!
Always build links focusing on the keyword and varying the anchor text.
Enter GOOGLE BRAZIL (Google) and type: adesivos de parede

    First of all check your On-Site Optimization.
    Use your keyword on your page.
    Ping all of your backlinks by using Bulkping tools
    Hope so it will work for you.

    Did you create all backlinks on .com.br sites?

    Take the time to learn the basics of SEO mate. Quality over quantity when it comes to links. Although preferably both.

      I know the importance of quality backlinks, I have some quality, and my competitor with only 300 backlinks (not higher quality of backlinks) should not be ahead in the SERPS

      I do not usually create backlinks to websites. com.br but I think this is not the problem too, since I went over competitors as it possesses cazulo.com 5k backlinks (with many. com.br)

      I do not think that is On-page SEO problem too, because none of my competitors is SEO On-page higher if you go by my watch.

      I thought of something like 301 redirects to the domain of my competitors, but how can I check this?

      Thanks!

    You also have to take into consideration the quality of the backlinks you have. It does not help you as much to have 11K in backlinks if they are all low quality. You have to have high quality backlinks as well.

    You should focus on getting high quality, dofollow anchor text links, varying your anchor text only by 10%.

    Remember that back links alone will not sustain a ranking. as others have mentioned check out your on-site content. In the struggle to the top we sometimes forget to check our basics.

    Ultimately the sites outranking you may be defeating you by the net-vote (how long people spend on each site, how often people returned to those sites and other factors that Google measures to determine how much users like you site).

    if that is the case you need to increase your net-vote by having content that will keep people on your site longer and coming back on a regular basis. We have been watching Google for 8 maybe 9 years on this factor and we are convinced that back links get you noticed and pushed to the top but the ultimate deciding factor of your rank is determined by your site's performance( the net vote ).

    after many studies it is our conclusion that you can easily make it to the first page of any two word search term with just a few relevant inbound links. However, your ability to sustain your position is determined by your site performance with end-users.

    The best way to get a look at this is by looking at your bounce rate. The bounce rate is a direct indication of if people like your site or not. You need that bounce rate low relative to your competitors.

    So check out their sites as I am sure you have: but this time look for why people might be spending more time at those sites rather than yours. videos, extensive picture galleries, games.. Anything that keeps them on their site longer than yours. I assure you this is the key to out ranking them.

    if you are in close proximity to them be careful about more back links. You could end up with a link devaluation if you force the issue with back links and do not have sufficient internal site performance.

    Domain age and onsite SEO are huge. You haven't talked about either.

    Your competitor kitsart has an xml sitemap. My Seoquake plugin says your site does not have one. Get a sitemap up on your site (there is a plugin if you are using wordpress) and ping it to Google.

    The mistake you are making here is you are focusing on backlinks which is ONLY one of the criteria google uses for PR. Explore other possibilities, watch your competitors closely and see what makes the difference.

      Thanks for the response of all.
      I just wanted to say that I find very important but on-page SEO, but as my competitor has a few backlinks that has virtually nothing to On-page keyword and is ahead of me, I would like to understand better the algorithm google this, and not just "spend my competitor. "
      I added a bit of On-page SEO in my home.
      I noticed that my site was too slow. In Google Webmaster Tools said it was 99% slower than the other sites, so I made him stay a little faster by reducing the amount of items shown on the home.
      Another interesting detail to note is that I have another site in another market niche, which was rank # 1 for the slow rate of 89% more than the other sites (very slow) with the same amount of backlinks that my competitors I had a very fast loading.
      So I think these strange ways ...
      But anyway I will wait for the results!

    I had the same issue and once I really paid attention to my ON page SEO, I moved ahead rather quickly. I pulled out every on page SEO trick I could find.
    sometimes google doesn't seem logical but it is! you have over looked something....now you just have to figure it out.
