Wow, my site is #1 for my main keyword and #4 for the plural on beta (UK), I didn't even target the plural (although it appears occasionally).

As the site is new and has few links (and I mean few) I have a fairly good idea of what works in this instance.

1. All pages on the site are AAA compliant.
2. All pages are below 15k including code and text.
3. All content is hand written and spellchecked.
4. A variety of industry terms are used naturally throught the site, no artificial additional use of terms apart from the main keyword in the title and description.
5. 40 pages of content when other sites struggle to get 5 on the area I cover (a service).
6. Few, low PR links from pages 100% on topic. (other companies providing the same service)
7. Linking on the site has the keyword used as part of the link to the homepage as it forms part of the site name.

As for when beta serves live results in the UK, I can't wait.

P.S. I fooled around with going to US and UK homepages on MSN, doing a search on the US one shows beta results, is this normal? if it is normal then these discussions are much more relevant to todays end users than I thought.
