Ok so it looks like you have your local bases covered. Now you start creating value outside of your site that others can use, or search engines can track towards you.

Are you doing any article marketing, jetspinner ideas? Your products have a great diameter of viability from use to ecology you can write for other people out there to use. Adding no more than 2 links back to yourself.

Next think about video and podcasts. Can you do some nifty recordings on how hip, cool, neat, different, exciting, beneficial, your products are, and release those out there. Interview people who have really enjoyed what you've sold. Get video testimonials if at all possible.

Start a social community that is ad-branded with your site but the meat of the site and discussions are something else oriented. It could be local as wave riding to as foreign as global warming.

Just a few thoughts on where to go once you have your local bases covered. Just keep creating value away from yourself and it will bring people back through additional avenues.

Thanks Mike,

I will try doing what you suggested. I don't know how I can write more KWO articles, otherwise it will be stuffing, and I've got some anchor texts on my articles, perhaps not enough.

Are you talking about increasing the anchor text frequency? or just adding more external anchor texts?

I added some bookmark links on my articles like Matt Kropp from iCrossing's suggested, so eventually if visitors kindly want to bookmark our articles, it would be fantastic.

Hi Nat, somehow (based on case study) I see a close relation between PR and your web site ends up on the SERPs. I know there are tons of other factors that determine where your web site will be positioned however, in your case I belive your efforts should be directed to writing more KWO articles and getting more links with relevant anchor text.

Thanks Websolutions,

What PR5 will give us? I really don't care too much about Page Rank, only a good SERPon the main categories will give us a +

We created some interesting articles at: http://www.natural-elements-online.com/ar
ticles-on-natural-hawaiian-skin-care.asp and we will add more articles in this category http://www.natural-elements-online.com/ha
waiian-body-care-product-guide.asp

As far as links buiding we constantly add some more via many ways.

My example above show one keyphrase targeted with a decent result, unfortunately all are not so succesful. I am working hard to optimize some of them and sometime I can't go further (the limits I was talking about).

Ranking high is one thing, keeping the ranking high is another...

It is very interesting by the way.

Okay, this is advice I would charge for but for you Nat, I will post it here for free.

I checked your site and here is what I recommend if you want to take your PR4 to PR5.

1. Get as many oneway links from other relevant sites - about 20 of them will take you to the next stage within 4 months.
2. Write Generic KWO articles about your product line, including Hawaii.
3. Use Google Analytics to guage your efforts, including tracking your sales and CR.

This is your challange, you think you can do it? Try and see how easy or difficult it can be.

Websolutions, for example I am ranking top 4 on Yahoo at: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0oGk
j.r2k5IqgYArV1XNyoA?p=body+products&fr
=yfp-t-501&ei=UTF-8

on 569,000,000 sites, that's the best I can do so far. On Google this is a different story...

Thanks for your interest in my post
