Hi.
I've been working on using SEO techniques on my web site.
I thought I was doing ok for a beginner.
But, I have a few questions that maybe someone can answer.
I thought if I increased my incoming links and increased my PR then I would move up in the search ranking. It seemed to be working, but then I came across this..
KW: genealogist
There is a site that has a PR4 with only 8 total backlinks. And, it's the Links page of the site. It's listed in 18th place for the keyword. They have the keyword in their title and only once on their page.
My web site:
PR5, 63 backlinks, the word is on my page several times including title, and it's in 36th place for the same keyword.
This keyword was one that I was trying to optimize my page for. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.
