    Maybe nothing. New sites always bounce around until they finally settle at their rightful place in the index. A thin site may take more effort - seo, paid, etc - to push up the ladder.

    Not sure but I think this is a competitive keyword you chose. If this is the case without backlinks you have little chance to get the first page.

      yea i recently paid someone to build 250 pr 4-8 backlinks but he didn't do it as he described.. he built the links using my domain not the anchor text i gave him... trying to get a refund, but not sure if im going to be successful...

    Hey Brendan,

    Problems in red. It's a newie, Google will have no respect or trust for it yet.

    Also, you have ONE article in there.

    Just keep writing more and more content on your topic and optimize for more keywords.

    You will start to rank in time.

    Cheers,
    Dave

      thankyou that is fantastic feedback!

      do you think this is possible to rank for? the competition doesn't seem that hard to be honest... i checked their backlinks and they seem pretty week, alot of pr 0 ones and only a few high ones
