SEO Tycoon

I have been working very hard to get moved up in the search engines. As I am going through sites to link to I have noticed some sites that show up on page 1 of Google and Yahoo for the keywords I use that don't even have a links page. The PRs I checked were only PR3. How do they show up on page one without exchanging links with anyone. I feel like I am missing something in my effort to succeed as an on-line store. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Whats the URL for your website?

Link exchange is generally a bad idea in my opinion. Concentrate on improving your site so that people will give you links without wanting one in return. Generally I find it is more difficult to naturally gain links for an ecommerce site so give people a reason for linking - i.e) A really great design, special offers etc.

Make your site stand out from the other thousands of websites in your market and word will start to spread

One way links are better than link exchanges because it gives more link juice, those sites probably have alot of one way links and have good content
