hehehe-

This thread is hilarious...if someone knew how to get a number one ranking, why wouldn' you just optimize a site for every imaginable keyword phrase and make more money than you can stack?

I read alot, especially Danny Sullivans suff, and work hard at trying to stay current. The fact is that googles algorhythm changes dramatically from month to month.

Example- two months ago my TGP was #10 under thumbnail gallery posts....I had worked pretty hard tweeking it and gotten some good results...today, and I haven' done anything but add galleries, it is in google hell....I can't find it in the top 1000...

PR is one of more than fifty weighted variables in the google algothythm which changes at very regular intervals.

They have developed some pretty sophisticated methods for detecting cloaking scripts...so you are left with trying to analyze the top listings and develop some mathematical correlations that might be useful.

GRSeo, which is a great company for learning and dowloading algorythms, got booted out of google for cloaking.

It isn't hard to get a top 100 ranking if you are pretty competant SEO person, but I would bet a that getting a 1-10 ranking under a real term, say "asian porn" is nothing but a pipedream. Allot of the really good ranking that I have I got by accident on a keyword I wasn't even optimizing for. Also, time the site has been up on the web with the same IP number is one of the variables. You are not going to plop your ass in the number one spot on a productive keyword in a month. Unless you pick a term like "midget basket weaving"
