How to know when you need better SEO

[Livenomadic]

My site:

100 Articles
PR 5
50 Backlinks

Google Ranking for keyword: 336th

A Page on [ehow.com...] :

ONE 360 WORD page
PR 4
2 Backlinks

Google Ranking for keyword: 57th

I guess it is time for a major SEO rebuilding lol!

LuckyStrike - that's to the homepage, not the page that Livenomadic is looking at.

The domain is authoritative Livenomadic.

What is authority? Scale, age and reinforcement of pages by surrounding pages - coupled with plenty of deep-links from other reputable sources.

The only way to tell if your seo is working well enough or not is by your own traffic and conversions. I would not worry about ehow. I doubt they are proud to be the 57th result. I would worry about the top ten sites and what it will take to become one of them.

luckystrike, I think you got an extra zero :) It's 3,770 back links.

Just counting backlinks is meaningless especially since the link command has been next to useless for a good while. What about anchor text?
