SEO Tycoon

Greetings to all!!

I’m kind of confused. I have an ecommerce website, say Example.co.uk (targeting for UK visitors) and it has PR 6 at the moment.
Well...I've been thinking why I am not getting any good search ranking for my site. My site has a good number of quality back links and my competitor site has lesser back links, but still they are getting good search ranking but why not me, they also have a PR 6.

Is it related to something difference with SEO for international website? Is there anything that I can do to target UK customers?
OR my product page has more no. of back links than my home page. Is this an issue?

Will it make any difference?
I mean though I have PR 6 and good quality backlines I don't know really
Why my site is not having a rank in google.co.uk search? But my competitor’s site being PR 6 and lesser back links than my site, they rank on 1st page of Google search.

Any SEO Experts can give a valuable info???
Please help me at the earliest. Thank you!

Firstly, the UK Google is really specific with it's geotargeting. From my experience, you need to focus on promoting your site in the UK to help with this: submit to UK directories, comment on UK blogs, frequent UK forums. Google's UK relay is a nightmare at times, I don't know why, but you often see massive variations in SERPs from one day to the next. I've found it much harder to get sites to rank in google.co.uk compared to say google.com or google.es

Secondly, PR isn't a complete reflection of SERPs, don't pay too much attention to it.

Thirdly, having a PR of 6 would mean bugger all if you're not targeting the right words and your pages are nicely optimised. Can you post a link so we can look?

Factors to consider:

Top Level Domain seems to be pretty important to Google.co.uk, so if you're targeting Blighty, try and get a .co.uk TLD
Add your office location and address to the Google business directory.
In Webmaster Tools, set your site to the UK
Get backlinks from UK sites.

These should let Google know you're a UK based company and your site is of benefit to UK users.

Why are you confused?

Didn't you know that PR and backlinks mean nothing at all for sale and visitors?

Or have you been reading at places where they think that link begging and chasing worthless toolbar PR is "SEO"

Yes right PR and Serps are entirely different. PR is one among the factor..... If you want to review your website you can PM the url and other details.

I have read that having your site hosted in the country where you want visitors is helpful - dont know if this is an issue? Also maybe links from uk sites? Although this is not helpful, I remember reading in a different forum that there are other ways to inform Google your site is Uk based - so maybe Google for info a bit?

Don't worry about the PR - get ranked high in your niche(s).

SEO is the best way to increase your traffic, PR is just an algorithm, Don’t be obsessed with PageRank.

In my opinion, the first thing you have to do is forget about the PR, its just gonna confuse you more. Waste of time, I say. And keep doing seo, you have to be constant with it.
