So You Want to Be #1, But Can't Get Past #5

Sep 20, 2004 - 1:34 pm 0 by

Great little thread over at Highrankings, about what it takes to get above the 5 placement in the search results, on your way to being #1. Its definately a critical area if you are focusing on some tough keywords. Most likely if you are in the top 5 already, you are steps away from success. Members express opinions relating ways your can overcome the top 5 commatose, and successfully rise to the number #1 slot. I would recommend focusing on specific anchor text, and increasing the amount, adjusting the repetition of the keyword on the page, and many more solutions discussed here.
