New site, SEO Critique requested... 4

[RISTMO]

Hey,

I'm pretty much done with my newest site --

http://www.genuineautos.com

-- and I'd just like to hear if there's anything that sticks out that I could do to make it rank better. At this point, if you search for "genuine autos" my Tek-Tips thread outranks the real site....something's wrong there ;-).

Any ideas?

Also, I'm going to start a little paid advertising. I'll have about $150/mo to use for it, so I want to use it the best I can. If I get some good turnovers with this, I'll be given more to use. I've never done paid advertisements, though, so I'm not quite sure where to start... Google Adwords won't get me many clickthroughs if I limit it by region. But I don't want to just put ads on any other auto-related site, cause it's a local business, and we don't ship.

Thanks,
Rick

A site's "reputation" to google is measured in link power to that page and many of the big companies don't optimise their pages,so it can be relatively easy to slip in amongst them with a well optimised page and a few well targeted links.

Don't be daunted by the big names,and link weight seems to have been reduced a little in the past couple of updates at google.

Ok, I don't get angry easily, but this makes me mad -- some jerk just spilled coffee all over my website.

Just had to have a little fun with that ;-).

Thanks for the info, I'll try it out at work Monday and try to get a 1-day subscription to the WordTracker thing, too. $8 can't hurt too badly, and it might help a bunch.

Later,
Rick
