Need SEO Help With A Website Page

[Clay Franklin]

in general it is a good idea to have the keyword in the first paragraph, the title, and if possible include links from one post to another in every article, it gives great internal linking juice. Lynn does it on all the posts at clicknewz. If you have a picture be sure to name it with your keyword dirt-bike-grear.jpg or what ever is in the post.
Find a few sites that have keyword luv and include the keyword in the name@keyword part of the comment.

Thanks for the help everyone, so far. I think I'm going to change the article so that it's more related to the aspects of Dirt Bike Trails and what gear riders can use to protect them and their bikes. I will make sure to have the keyword phrase "Dirt Bike Trails" as the title, in the first paragraph, a couple times in the body, at the end, name of the pics, and use it for keywords. Also, for internal linking, do I just put a link to my "Dirt Bike Trails" on all of my other articles, or what?

check out clicknewz to see how Lynn does it.
I also do it on my main blog.
during the article you mention "dirt bike trails" and hyperlink it to your article on dirt bike trails.
Then you may say dirt bike accessories and link dirt bike accessories to your dirt bike accessories post. So eventually all your articles get lots of internal linking with keywords.
When I name pictures I have been adding a huyphen between the keywords like dirt-bike-trails.jpg then to add a tricky thing hyperlink the picture to the dirt bike trails blog post with target="_blank" so it opens in a new window. You can also do it in wp image gallery advanced area. drop down target opens in new window.

how about linking this article, that is also going to talk about gear that riders use to protect themselves to the post about the fox jerseys. Maybe:

I know that the Fox Jersey's I reviewed a few days ago look and feel great, but sometimes a ride on tough dirt bike trails require more protective gear such as. . .

and I even got that little ltkw phrase in there again!

That would give you the internal link to your other post using anchor text that (hopefully) is a keyword for you - though not necessarily one for your overall site, but maybe on that page, Fox Jersey's was a keyword.

Then you can do some backlinking, hopefully in places where you can use the anchor text of 'dirt bike trails' again in a blog post comment or forum post.

Does that help?

Ok, I'll look at her site. Yeah, I can work on interlinking my posts so they make a big web. Thanks for the tips.

Yes, that helps. That makes perfect sense, so I think I'm going to do that. Thanks!

Ok, I'm back again. My Dirt Bike Trails article now has about 120 incoming page links, almost all of which are PR 4 or higher. I am still wondering why it's not in the top 10 for google, because it has more back links than half of the top 10. Also, the number of incoming page links for the top 10 are nowhere near in order. I know the quality of the links matter, but it seems like it doesn't just depend on the links and keywords for the google rankings. If any of the doesn't make sense just let me know. Thanks

Are your inbound links using Dirt Bike Trails as the link text. This will optimize your links a bit further and give you that last bit of juice.

I did a quick look via Yahoo Site Explorer at your links and your EZ Article is just linked using the URL itself.

Click here to view an article on dirt bike trails and protection.

You should change that to "Dirt Bike Trails".

Other things to check:
-Are your backlinks do follow?
-Have you done some competitive analysis of the other pages that are currently ranking? I love Market Samurai for this. Maybe they have twice as many backlinks.
-Finally what is the PR of that URL? Maybe it is conderably lower than the competing top 10

You might want to check timetobeseen.com. It's a "bot" that grabs relevant fresh content on an unbelievable scale. In 4 days fleaandtickproducts.com's Alexa ranking went from 12.3 mln. to 72,000 with no marketing or advertising. Thought it was mostly for brick and mortar businesses but "content is king" seems to be true. Their prices are not the typical SEO companies ripoff either.

Yeah, the links say "Dirt Bike Trails". What should I change to that on Ezine Articles? They should be, how do you check to make sure they are do follow? The page rank of my article's URL? I don't even think it's ranked? How can I get it ranked?

Hmm, that sounds pretty good.
