What the heck am I doing wrong?

[FPForum]

I'm trying to hit number 1 spot in MSN and I can't understand why I am towards the bottom of the second page when my content, domain, link popularity, keyword density, and everything else is better than the person in the number 1 spot. Just look at the comparison:

number 1 position:
Domain: subdomainhere.blogspot.com
Link Popularity: 140
keyword density for exact keyphrase: 0.73%
Indexed Pages: 2 (Doesn't seam right..)
Size of site: 48k
Creation Date: sometime in 2005

me:
Domain: exactkeyphrase.com
Link Popularity: 349
keyword density for exact keyphrase: 1.72%
Indexed Pages: 44
Size of site: roughly 32k
Creation Date: August 1 of 2006

Other than the creation date and the size of the site..I can't understand why I am not number 1 in MSN..With the importance of the keyphrase in the URL for MSN's algo I would think this would give me a huge advantage! Any idea's what could be the problem here and what I can do to help get me to the number 1 spot?

There are many other factors that determine the ranking.

for eg : the title, the way you have used your keyword in your page.

Your meta tags are also very important.

Concentrate on key word, Meta tags, Link exchange not from link farmers avoid that type of link exchange, articles, use singnature, and use blogs as well as concentrate on content

The other guy's website is older so it will be harder just for that reason. Though I'm not an SEO expert or anything, that's just been my experience.

Your site is relatively new. It often takes time (e.g. months) to get to towards the top of the major search engines like Google, Yahoo!, MSN and AOL. Also, updating content plays a rather significant role.

Have you submitted a sitemap to Google and Yahoo? These can help from time to time.

Good luck!
