Best way to get the keyword ranking at the top

[ray2810]

I am working on site for around six months now. 
I have done social bookmarking submission, directory submission, blog comments, forum submissions etc.

Is there anything else i can do to make the rank go higher.

nothing is working correctly.

Hi Ray,

Ranking for a specific term includes not only the off-site optimization. This is the point where usually link builders make the mistake.

First of all, try to check on-page factors, if there everything looks ok, then take the next step and check what to competing websites do. Do they work on link exchange? Do they create social campaigns? Do they invest in creating content?

Although link building is important I am constantly saying that ranking for a specific term is just as a big puzzle with many tiny pieces. If you work only with one piece only  you will never get the big clear picture.

I would recommend to you to check for tiny peaces from this puzzle and you will be able to rank higher.

I hope that helped and good luck!

Hi Pinku Ray,  As you know that before doing these Off Page activities we have to select the Keywords. Here keywords plays a major role because without proper selection of keywords these all off Page activities are of no use. Firstly you select the keywords which are in low or medium in competition according to your website then after selecting the keywords apply all these Off Page activity & before doing any activity please check the website where you are doing these off Page activity , the websites should be of the same niche.

After doing all the above activities please check the rank of Keywords in SEOSERP.com weekly to know the exact rank of the Keywords.

Do you have any content on your site? Do you have anything unique about your site that makes visitors want to come, and to stay there after you get links?

Should i give the keyword and the website

Providing you have permission from the site owner, yes, it would be helpful.

The site is http://www.speedreadingclasses.org/

and the keyword is speed reading classes

I saw another person asking about this same site over at http://www.seomoz.org/q/my-ranking-got-down-from-4-to-9-in-just-2-days. Are there multiple companies working on the same site? You'd want to coordinate with the other company for any working being done so you're not working against each other.
