it looks like I need to average a PR5 and atleast a PR3, how can this be achieved?

Also, if I dont have success, how can I find a company that wont take you for what you got and actually does a good job and what do these companies charge?

One way is to have more of those key words within the site content, better still in some of your page titles, meta tags, headings, etc. Another way is to increase your pagerank via having more quality backlinks, using links exchange, press release, article submission, web directories, blog comments, forum posts, etc.

You can increase your page rank by having more backlinks. Blog commenting nd article submission will give you very good result.

To start off, the first thing you should do is edit your post and make those list of keywords you have made link to your site to some page that contains the word.

I don't know what your site is like right now, but here are a few thoughts:

- Title text should be optimized, and the important keywords should be at the beginning of the title

- Keywords should be in H1

- Internal linking should be done with relevant anchor text that varies from link to link

- Article marketing and press release sites can increase your backlinks quickly

Good luck!

Unless you've got some fabulous black hattery going on, I highly doubt you'll be able to rank on the first page for these. You are competing against other businesses that may have as much as 8 years of a head start on you (the time that semantic first engines started appearing)

Models will be taken by nearly anything that can be modelled.
Diecast will rank for most anything hobby related
and Hotwheels is a trademark, so it's most likely going to be dominated by the sites of the trademark owner, related groups, etc.

Even on your own, you're going to find it difficult.
What you're going to need to do is give other people a reason to link to your site, preferably with anchor text instead of just the URL.
Content is one way, good bargains are another.
i.e. have a page that's got a coupon or something to your online store, that has few paragraphs about "discount hotwheels", with that linking to your storefront (preferably with the coupon embedded in the link).
People will then link using similar anchor text to that particular page. Bam! You start to rank for "discount hotwheels"

That's an example by the way. You don't have to take it as your exact course of action.

As you know the targeted keywords work on that to get visible on top google pages. For this first do Directory submission with targeted keywords as titles and do follow other off page tasks to be best placed.

Hi,

A few suggestions:

-Try cleaning up the existing url; if you have a complicated url containing confusing combinations of letters, numbers, caps, spaces etc... not only can if confuse the user but also redirect the browser. Try integrating key words into the url in descending order from high prioritized category followed by sub categories. If for instance you sell sporting goods, rather than doing something like "sports.mystore.soccer.12654bHt.atlanta-viewTr.com/" try and tidy it up with something like "atlantasportinggoods.soccer.cleats.kids/small.com"

-Inbound links are also crucial for high PR. If you have several quality links coming from reputable sites your website will clearly benefit more so than if you instead have myriad links streaming from spam ridden sites or those not fleshed out to contain video feed, or those with affiliate sponsored links. Before breaching the realm of affiliate marketing try and cogently create solid and visible links from good sites. Perhaps you can form a partnership with another website in order to mutually benefit both sites with inbound links linking back and forth. Quality here clearly overcomes quantity...one link from a cnn or amazon will surely override the fifteen you place in your free, local, neighborhood gazette.

-While it has been addressed already, I must restate the importance of meta-tags and optimized content. These should be placed in the head section of your html and can be utilized for page description and keyword data entry; while these tags are inserted into the page construction they are not visible to the viewer. Whereas html tags provide web information meta tags do not affect the look of a page. They rather give info o who created the page, how the updates are frequented, page content and keyword relevance.

I hope this has helped.

Best,

Check out sitepoint and buy some adspace on a couple websites for like $10 - $25 a month. That should get you to show up in Google. Also submit your site to different Social Bookmarking sites.
