Alright, I have been doing relevant link building and I have been working my SEO for a good 6-7 months, yet my pages aren't ranking the way they should be. We update regularly adding new products and keeping the site information complete. I do admit some of the content could be more expansive, but tell me, is that what is holding me back right now? Can anyone help me out here? What is going on with my site? You can check it out at www.ptipackaging.com

Compete.com and Alexa.com show two drastically different figures for my traffic, not that I rely on that for decent information, but which is better?

This is a followup on the other reply. You do not have quality inbound links. You need ~100 to 125 to dominate your market. Currently you have only 18. Check out LinkMarket.com to start out with (SLOWLY - 10 pr 3-4 per week).

*****************

You are submitting a poor SEOed link. You use:

Packaging Tape Inc • Bob Schymanski • P.O. Box 569 • Wausau, Wisconsin 54402-0569 • 715-845-7211 • 715-842-9654 Excellent source for moisture barrier packaging.

But it might be more SEO if you use

Finally, may I suggest that you make some changes to you web page(s) head section. Order and content.

I have way more inbound links than just 18 that are shown on my WMT. also, wehre do you see that kind of link text being submitted? The link information and code that I have been submitting is WAY different than what you posted. Where did you get that?

I looked at your link[:] http://www.ptipackaging.com/

and selected http[:]//www[.]powersourcing[.]com/sf/moisturebarrierpackaging.htm

to see what you are using.

Unfortunately, I have no control over how those links are presented. No control whatsoever.

Does anyone see anythign fundamentally wrong with the site? Anything that would constitute bad design or a hindrance to navigation?
