I am trying to duplicate the sucess of automotive.com they seem to show up on hundreds of automotive keywords.

I am trying to get a top 5 ranking in google for the keywords "used *car make*" for example "used BMW" or "used Ferrari"

here is their page:

automotive link (http://www.automotive.com/buy/used/01/bmw/)

here is the page I am working on:

Used BMW (http://classyauto.com/test/used-bmw.php)

This page has 3 includes pages, a header, footer, and the list of used bmws for sale. I know the header is not optimized but what do you think of the body?

I can actually list 500+ used bmws we have in our system, but was wondering if that would be too much? The only goal of this page is for it to show up under "used bmw" and "used bmws" searches. And I will move it out of the test directory once its finished and duplicate it for every vehicle make.

Thanks for any advice,
Pete

First off I would change your title for each page

Something like: Sell used BMW - ClassyAuto.com is your resource for.....
Put some alt tage on your images with keywords..or atleast something

exp: <img src="image.jpg" alt="Used BMW picture">

I would also perform the blank cell trick (ask joc I think) what it does is it allows you to modify your table code so that your content appears before your menu

here's a good place to start with the "blank cell trick" or "table trick"

ok so what do you think about listing all those car links? should i limit how many I list? some makes would show over 1000 cars, and I can change the way they are displayed to include the word used in each line. Would that be overdoing it?
