Ranking

[Markyseo]

Hi All,

I have been working on a car  insurance site which targets US market. we have been doing all types of links to the site like - good related directory links, related blogpost and reviews. the site is updated daily with a fresh unique content.

what more is needed to get it to the first page. we are currently ranking in the range of 40 - 50 on the page 4 or page 5.

we have also recently done a redesign with a new cms, done a good press release but not seeing much of changes. please if anyone in the same industry or with some experience can suggest us. we are using all white hat seo & I can understand the amount of competition in this niche.

Thanks

Car insurance is one of the most difficult markets on the web.

PPC ads can cost $20 or more per click!

You are competing against companies worth billions of dollars who must aggressively defend their position online against other companies who are even larger then they are.

They have been working to compete on the web for many years and they have teams of people who work on the content, design, function and promotion of their websites and their brands.

Do you honestly have the resources to compete?

Hi Egol,

the site is a old site around 10 years of age, a strong pr 5. it use to rank for 2 of the main keywords - cheap car insurance and cheap auto insurance at rank 3 on google a year back but after the panda updates and others it has moved to page 4. so i think yes we can get it back to the rank it had. we have been adding more informative and unique article each day. but we need something more to take it to the first page.

Thanks
