SEO Tycoon

Hello,
I'm relatively new to this and need help with the easiest project I have. I need to be ranked 1st with REMOVED for "bazar lomas verdes" keyword in google.com.mx.
The actual 1st result is not even a site (removed), it's an "under construction" page. The only mention of my keyword on this page is in its title but not at the very beginning of it.
So I did this:
Changed my title to "Bazar Lomas Verdes" and added some keyword rich alt tags (I can not change texts or any other visuals), then created about 500 bookmarks in two weeks (I can only see 22 backlinks with backlink checker) and with this done I went up to the 2nd. But it's not enough!
What else can I do? Why am I above this non-optimized "under construction" page?
Thank you for your comments.

if you cannot change the text on the page how do you expect to "optimise it"

I understand but I saw as well that the 1st result did not have any text at all!

I mean Bush did not have "miserable failure" on his page neither, did he?

If you know about the "miserable failure" thing I take it you understand why it worked. That's one possible answer for improved rankings.

I also notice the #1 result has a domain that's an exact match for the query, which is probably helping it rank. And even though it doesn't have a lot of words on the page it does use the phrase a few times.

Many thanks for showing us this interesting anomoly, Vlad.

Your rival site at the top of serps is showing an index page, "Sitio en Construccion", with almost zero content.

There are another dozen pages in that website with significant content. Google has indexed these other pages and has decided that the website, as a whole, deserves the top spot on serps.

The Google algorithm has decided that the site has good content, even though humans cannot see it!

If your niche is not hard, then you don't need to add any text to your site.. With some links you are there. If you have some competition, then you need to do more then that.

**chrishirst** · 05-13-2011, 10:46 AM

And there are almost 2500 instances of the URI on pages indexed by Google, which may or may not be links.

Don't believe junk "backlink checkers" to tell you the facts.

Thanks to everyone!

based on my own experience... Content revision is always a thing to do in optimizing a page.

Only optimizing title tag and social bookmarking is not enough.You should optimize your content first.Make sure that the text within the title tag is also within the body of the page. It is unwise to have keywords in the title tag which are not contained within the body of the page.Tell the Search Engines What to Index-Optimizing Your robots.txt File.Feed Search Engines Static and XML Site Maps.Do some other link building tactics like blog commenting,guest blogging, video submission,article submission,Press release,RSS feed,Directory submission,e.t.c
