Business: Serious SEO Question (2 Parts)
 

Firstly, thank you for taking the time from all the movie reviews, contests and "hit it" threads to view this lonely business thread. And for those of you not viewing the thread, :321GFY

Part 1:

I'm currently ranked in Google #4 out of 7,740,000 results. It's a pretty popular single keyword and niche. It's sending me roughly 20,000 uniques per month. I can't seem to break the fourth position do you have any advice to get to #3 or even #2 (fucking wiki)?

Part 2:

It's recently come to my attention that I am #2 out of 7,050,000 results. It's a less niched two word keyphrase but for the same micro-niched site as above. The problem is that while the two cross-paths those looking for this kind of content by me turned off by the main focus of the website. Would redirecting the 5,000 monthly uniques that come from this keyphrase to a subpage with better niched content hurt my rankings for either keyword? Also, do you know of any scripts for such a thing. I could code one but would like to see examples of SE friendly solutions. Not gateway pages, I'm already highly ranked.

Thanks again for focusing on business for one moment. Now you may return to fucking off.

whats above you? wiki and other wiki like sites? VERY hard to beat those...

For the main keyword it goes like this...

1. Wiki result
2. Another site (Alexa Traffic Ranking: 8,487) <-- is hard linking my site
3. Another Site (Alexa Traffic Ranking: 134,018) <-- is hard linking my site
4. My site (Alexa Traffic Ranking: 291,590)

.............................

I'd move on and target other phrases with other URLs.

Interesting after lookig at those Alexa rankings. It may not necessarily be Alexa ranks, but something that measures it in a similar fashion. Perhaps volume of traffic?

I know it shouldn't matter but if you look it always seems to line up that way. :2 cents:

To answer nr.1: more relevant links with the targeted word in the anchor, I'm pretty sure you were asking for another answer but that is my answer.

you can get #2 possibly, but i doubt ytou wil overcome wiki... it would take some effort from others thn you to achieve that

let me add 500 links to your site using that keyword and see what happens.

You need a lot of depth, age, backlinks, rep and a lot of other stuff to take over wiki. Don't waste your time. Direct your efforts to something attainable.
