Dude, you didn't just say that. Seriously, you are barking WAY up the wrong tree.
First of all, you don't pitch your own services to someone that didn't ask for them.
Second, you don't pitch your own services in a forum that doesn't allow it.
Third, you're obsessing over PageRank, Alexa Rank, and other things commonly obsessed over by SEO wannabes that don't know the square root of jack about how to build or promote a website.
Now stop offering idiotic run-of-the-mill lemming logic couldn't-work-in-a-hundred-years advice and apologize to both whym and gringo, because they were both right. You owe them that.
Now, since I got about ten minutes to offer some input on things you can do to improve your SEO that are really, really easy.
1) Your home page link. Change it to
http://www.collegecolosseum.com, not /index.php . You'll duck any potential issues arising from the confusion of which page is your index page (mostly dupllicate content, but there are others).
2) Your forums. You can get a HUGE amount of longtail traffic from your forums, except that all of the links i see on the surface have PHPSESSID= embedded in them. That's bad, since it changes with every session.
Try to create both user- and spider-friendly forum URLs (like the ones WMT uses). Get your hack on if you haven't yet.
3) Have a section on your site devoted to college news. This would be a great feature, since it would allow people to keep up to date on what's going on with all the different schools and thus draw more users to your site. It would also help from an SEO point of view because it would give you more pages, and thus more entry points, to your site. Just keep the content useful.
4) "Why?"
What is "why?"
"Why?" is the question you should be asking yourself. As in "why would users want to come to this site?" "Why am I different than XXX other sites?" "Why would they want to stay?"
Come up with "Why?" answers (like #3).
In other words, what you need do in order to optimize for search engines is solve a lot of the user issues first, and then the SEO will stem organically from that...regardless of what your AlexaCompetePageRank is.
