Number 2 On Google Page One

Hi,

I was hoping you could give me an answer about google page one for the keyword "Easy Cash"

I have climbed to the top but there is one page that blocks me for getting the first position.

What i don`t understand is that i have 9400 good solid backlinks and the other site has 450 backlinks and it stays on top no matter what i do.

I could almost suspect the site owner to pay google for his position.

Can i get any advice from you folks?

    They probably just have stronger links than you do. A lesser amount of really strong links will beat out a ton of average links any day.

    Also, on an unrelated note, you need to update your Twitter link here on the forum. I tried visiting it and it says it does not exist. I think you might have typed it in wrong.

      Thanks for letting me now.

      I had to open a second account at Twitter and forgot to change my info in here.

    Also look at their site age, size and structure. I have seen a site ranking at the top for a keyword I am now chasing and the site has nearly zero links but has the keyword within his site structure and blog in a specific way which must be giving him some decent internal linking power. Take a closer look at their site rather than just the backlinks.

      Haven`t really tought about that this could be the reason.

      Thanks

    It actually looks like they don't have a lot of really strong links. I bet if you got just a few more links with Easy Cash as the anchor then you would take them over.

    I would recommend building up some strong article directory links, I recently shot a **** up to position 2 from position 26 literally overnight once I submitted 3 articles to a few directories then backlinked the articles. It is a 2 word keyword as well, just a thought incase you're just building forum links and so on!

    Yeah, I think just a few more links with the right anchored keyword will do the trick for you.

    Ok, so I processed the KW, and the result is this:



    Now, logically, yes your site should be on top of the current #1. But, then, again logically, #4 site should be #1.

    the traffic travis analysis doesn't show much... for instance, his site may have a lot of backlinks but the majority of them are from the same site so you can throw most of those out the window, they aren't doing much good. The #1 site is better optimized for the keyword "easy money" while the #2 site is optimized for "make money online". The CNET site has adequate optimization for "easy money" but lacks backlinks to the actual page and is only ranking due to the authority of CNET itself.

    The devil is in the details.

    If he were to change his title tag so "easy money" was first he'd bump up to #1 but his ranking for "make money online" would drop.

    Just from what I can see in the image, the reason site 4 is not number one, or even site 3, that they they are deep links. Google much prefers to rank http://mysite.com than http://www.mysite.com/mytopic/folder/topic2/site.html.

    Otherwise, s bookmarking your links is good. Consider building some forum profiles if you havent done that already. It will give you a nice boost. check my signature.
