We provide data rather than consultancy or advice, PM me and I'll give you a few test credits so that you could examine your competition backlink profiles - this can be very helpful in link building.

I hate to admit it, but this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Search-Engin.../dp/0764567586 is a very good book.

I should know better as i've got a bit of experience in SEO but i read this and a few points in it were things i hadn't thought of before and after implementing them my new Plan B was getting 4x the traffic of any of my other sites.

Going to pick that up this week, cheers for the nod. The knowledge I have got on the subject is really just from what I have got from t'internet and it would be good to have a solid foundation on the subject.

AtW: Many thanks for the offer, I would welcome the chance to get some advice from you on the subject, I think everyone on here knows you are a Simon Cowell to the subject. You ain't a Cheryl Cole though.

We are indeed all Spartacus. We who are about to search salute you.

I cannot see what advice I was given from AtW other than a "give me some money" sales pitch.

I'll give it to you for free - after all we are all Spartacus?

So you post here seeking advice, and when you get some you just start flaming and boasting that you don't need any help?

What a twonk

Well I seem to be getting 10% of those numbers and I have not pushed it like a cheap tart.

Either I underestimate my skills at SEO or you have a very high opinion of your limited abilities.

How many unique hits do you get on your main search engine each day? Not the new one, the one that has been there for 6 years.

1. You use keyword research (Wordtracker or others) to decide which keywords you want to rank for - those would be keywords relevant to your business with a lot of searches

2. People who rank above you for those queries are your competitors.

1. You know that backlinks play important role in ranking.

2. You know that you do not have backlinks.

3. Your competitors presumably do have backlinks.

4. SKA provides a cheap and relatively easy way to analyse competitor backlinks: once you know where they got them from, with what anchor text and when you can look at those sites and try to obtain backlinks as well.

Simples.

The site does not have any direct competitor, really the site sits in an area where there are hundreds of thousands of similar sites but the site is unique enough to stand out from them. It would be futile to pick a competitor and model the site's navigation from that.
