I'm having trouble with SEO?

New sites targeting high traffic keywords usually don't rank well and go through a holding period, called the Sandbox. It usually takes up to a few months to several months to rank well. You can rank well in MSN in 2-3 months and anywhere from 7-12 months on Google.

Add keyword rich text to your website copy (add a lot of content), title tag, anchor text. This will help your rankings but this is only about 30% of SEO. The other 70% is off-page factors, which primarily consists of a good link building campaign. Have quality and relevant links point to your site from other websites. Make sure the anchor text of these links consist of keywords relevant to the page it's pointing to.

To rank well in Google, you'll need to have a good number of quality and relevant in-bound links, Yahoo, factors in-bound links but not as heavily as Google. You can move dramatically in ranking in Yahoo by adding keyword rich copy. I suggest anywhere from 300 to 500 words per page.

I hope this helps a little. You will definitely want to check out the forums people are suggesting. They're is so much more to learn about SEO and is continuously changing.

GOOD LUCK!
