How to get better rankings

[kulitko]

Can anyone help...

I am trying to get better rankings on google, yahoo etc. Unfortunatley what ever I am doing isnt helping. Does anyone know how I can get better rankings on search engines.


I have submitted my stie to DMOZ, google, yahoo you name it. All have listed me but still my rankings are pretty low. I know my keywords are ok and keyword density is at 1.5% - 12%. I just dont know what I am doing wrong... Getting really frustrated.... Can anyone help?

a few things:
Your page rank is currently 4 (of 10). Thats not too bad, but more incoming links will help improve it.
Signal to Noise ratio: You have 3,389 characters (by my count) of content, and 27,987 characters of total code. When your content and your presentation aren't separated (read:table based layout), its a lot easier for Search Engines to get confused and lost in all the markup, and miss your content.
Lastly: it will be very difficult for you to make it onto the first (or second or third) page of good, depending on what you are searching for, merely because computer sales is such a popular field.

Thanks for the help,

I am actually aiming at keywords, like Portable computer and Rugged portable. Very nich market so I have a big chance at getting #1 at search engines. unfortunatley, my web layout is an ASP and cant really control much since I did not program the thing.....

All i have control over are the pure HTML files in there.

Any suggestions on how I can improve?


Thanks,

James

I agree with Sam. You have very little content in relation to code. Also, no DTD.

To answer your question. Remake the site or pay for rankings.

Your page rank is currently 4 (of 10).

Correction for Sam,
His site ranking is currently 5 out of 10.
Kindly do some research on site ranking.

Rsadik,

Actually, My page rank was 4 then google updated their page rank. So now its 5. Still bad if you ask me.

Use alternate text for your images which strongly describes each image. Search engines do not understand pictures but they do analyze text.
