Can someone help guide me in the right direction or help tell me what I am doing wrong. I have been working on my site for a year now headpaingames.com and I have followed every tutorial I find. I backlink (without getting spammish), I do adwords, I social bookmark. I updated my site with a new script more SEO friendly. I follow keywords. Am I trying to hard should I go in a down a different path. I have about 5 page veiws a day.

    What keywords are you trying to rank for? Your home page title is "free online games", but I wouldn't target that if I were you.

    The majority of your backlink anchor text is the url. Clearly you're not targeting that as a keyword, so you should use your main keyword when linking to your home page. But find a keyword with lower competition than "free online games", you're not gonna rank for that one. Also, change the "home" link to your main keyword.

    With this type of site it makes sense to target game titles as keywords. Consider building links to your game pages, submit your games to bookmarking sites, etc. and make sure you use the game title as the anchor text.

    The script isn't that SEO friendly really. h1 tags are only on game pages, none found on other pages. The links to games in category listings are images, consider changing that to simple links with game title as anchor text, like links to games on the home page.

    Game titles are competitive keywords enough though, perhaps you should use a qualifier like "play" for your keywords. It would be much easier to rank for that and I'm sure there are enough people who use "play" in their queries.
