Trying to improve our #5 ranking on search engines.

Hello

We are currently #5 on Google for our two primary keywords, we also rank well for all our site keywords.

But something bugs me, there is a site at #2 which whilst a good information site does not really compete with us...though we carry a painfully large amount of high quality,original information ourselves.

I have looked at his site as carefully as I can, with the intermediate amount of knowledge that I have.

There are two things that stand out.

The keyword density on his home page is 4%.

Mine is about 1.4%

He runs one of the only forums for our niche market...and its a good forum, though somewhat sparsely populated.

So my questions are, is a keyword density of 4% not a little on the large side?

Could that make such a difference with Google?

What about the forum? Could that make a difference to how Google sees his page?

Any hints on how to creep up our rankings gratefully received.

Thanks

Richard

    Dont focus on kw density, add more content, few backlinks here and ther and gain autortiy.

    Hes forum is a big plus because its user generated content, and also lets google know that hes users are engaged.

    focus on yourself, dont analyize him.
    Good luck.

    If he runs a forum than it will be hard to beat him. Since forum provide a lot of unique content on daily base. He has more than double kw density than you, it could but also couldn't make a difference. You should try to beat him in this way, then you will see the results.
