Good Pr but bad rankings

--

Looks like your on page 2 now for "chicago strippers". How long have you had your site up?

I wouldnt focus to much on keyword density. A few things that should be done:

1/ Get a DMOZ listing (http://www.dmoz.org) as well as other directory listings. I think this can give you the biggest help.

2/ Looking at your backlinks, many of them are from a Limo directory which is not in your business area. With most backlinks, use "chicago strippers" in the anchor text.

3/ Get links on as many sites as possible dealling with your same business

4/ Looking at your competition, many of the sites are subdirectories of larger directory sites which can be harder to acheive positioning

I think you are on the way up the rankings, so the next step should be a dmoz listing:
http://dmoz.org/Adult/Regional/North_Am ... Strippers/

a dmoz listing never hurts, but in this specific case I wouldn't really expect it to do wonders- sometimes you can get lucky and your category will be a PR5, 6, 7 or even 8 from dmoz. in this case it's a 4.

but yes, I'm largely in the same boat as you.

one easy to control thing: on every page, link back to your main page with the keywords you're targetting.

I still think just having a a listing in dmoz under the category your business is in, helps in the serps. If that category has a good PR, thats an extra bonus.

Getting into DMOZ has other advantages. Other webmasters use DMOZ directory on their sites so you can get more links coming in. I have a friend with an ecomm site; her only backlink is from DMOZ and the PR went to 6 from nothing.

Shawn: as I mentioned above, link to your main page from every page inside the site using your target keywords.

The best density varys greatly from industry to industry, but IMO, it shouldn't be higher than 10%

Your home page doesn't have a title, but the internal pages do.

How are you seeing that his homepage doesn't have a title? I see the title fine, on the site and in the serps.
