To improve your ranking on Google:

1) If your site is small, make it big. If it's big, make it bigger.

2) Organize your content to spread it out over many pages, giving each page its own specialized keyword content, and its own specialized title to catch a particular keyword phrase.

3) Make all your links descriptive.

3- Start a new domain with the sole purpose of getting it listed in Dmoz, Yahoo, About, Looksmart. The new domains should be on a different host and in another country. Once your new domain has 1 directory listing start site #3

4- Interlink the domains.

5- Study your competition very carefully, I bet you are going to find that they are using more than one domain.
Target the multiple domain web structures in a closely related topic(theme). Suggest a link exchange between all your sites and their sites. You will find that the multiple domain web structures understand the use of linking and if they are not directly competing with you will exchange links.

When you start site #3 you should have already identified and exchanged links with 3 or 4 of these "web structures". Site #3 now starts off with about 20 quality inbound links.

Following this strategy is a little slow in the beginning but the results over a 6 to 8 month period of time will be successful. You will become your own competition, your direct competitors will now be asking you for a link exchange.

Just place "link" before the URL like this

link:http://www.

in the AV search box.

I forgot about the manual way to get that link info. I guess I was spoiled by Google.

Now I have lots of work to do. I have been given marching orders to improve our AV rankings.

1. {+link:mydomain.example -host:mydomain.example}

2. {+link:competitor.example +RelevantKeyWord}

(1) removes the site itself from the listings. It's irritating having to wade through the internal links.

For my big keyphrase targets, the site ranks anywhere from #2 to #10, i.e first page.
For more unique phrases, site ranks number 1.

I now am solely concentrating on the most competitive keyphrases.
1. I am not using hidden text.
2. I am listing the keyword in mydomain-keyphrase.htm and title
3. Getting higher kw, and keyphrase occurance on the pages designated to the keyphrase.
4. Staying within the original theme, slowly creating ultra specific pages, so not to climb up google to fast and alert my competitors. Slow process, until rest of the engines list like google.
5. Loacation / frequency, is the substance of the process, as i have a couple of competitors sites, which are heavily optimized.

Anatomy of a Search Engine [www7.scu.edu.au]

1) Build a site, make it big. Link all your pages with a tiers system of linking eg: 20 links on index.html, linking to 20 pages in the root each with 20 links linking to 20 pages in 20 directories etc... Try not to go down more than 3 levels though.

2)Give the site theme. Make sure you have primary keyphrase at least once on every page. Use individual keyphrases at least once in every field of your page.

3)Use link text to build out bound link pop. Try to link to the most relevant sites in ODP, Yahoo, or Google itself. Get listed on ODP, Yahoo or get sites listed there already to link to you.

Submit at least 1 page from every directory you have.

You just saved me a lot of time searching for sites to link to. I just spent an hour with it and found 6 quality sites to submit to.

I used "add url" , "add link" , and "guestbook".
