Ok. normally I am never like this. But I am acutally desperate. Let me tell you what I've done so far:

Keyword Choice
Very good Description
Good Title
Sumbited to Search Engines
Create good hearty content
Made my own RSS Feed
Update the RSS feed
Sumbit the RSS feed to many places
Update Content at least daily
Get Advertisers/Linkbacks (Need more, but no $)
Launched an Affiliate program


I've done all of that, what more can I do so I can get better rankings?
My best ranking so far is found here:
http://beta.search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=Custom+Computers&first=21&count=10&FORM=PERE2

That's slowly climbing but I don't know anyone who uses Beta MSN. I am not found in Custom Computers in any other Search engines at all! I cannot afford PPC or just plain advertising the only thing I can offer my affiliate program...
Please help! Any and all suggestions/comments or links/advertising.

You need more pages and more links...

link popularity compared with top 2 competitors for "custom computers" in google:

http://www.bestcatalog.net/cgi-bin/lp/popular.pl?url1=www.cbttechs.com&url2=www.pugetsystems.com&url3=www.pcsforeveryone.com&email=&submit=Generate+Report

Exhange links with other related sites to get your link popularity higher. You need good links though.

you're site is quite small compared to the top 2 competitors for "custom computers" in google

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=site%3Apcsforeveryone.com&btnG=Search&meta=

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=site%3Apugetsystems.com&btnG=Search&meta=

They'll have more optimized pages than you. You may need to start adding more information to your site, trying to keep it as optimized as possible

Thanks. I'll try to think of more pages that I can add. But you suggest any sites that I can link to? I've been trying to and been unsuccessful.

Do a google link search for your top competitor's pages and pursue those sites for links if they are of good quality.

Download and install the IE google toolbar for displaying page rank and try to only seek links to your site with those that rank 3 or more.

As for more pages in your site, write a few articles relate to the site's thrust and divi up the articles to 2-3 pages or more (say 500 words per page). This will greatly help search engine visibility. However be sure to use unique page title and meta tags so as to eliminate the chances of multiple pages being disregarded for being too 'similar'.

By far, the most effective way of boosting your search engine rank (apart from what you have already done) is via one-way incoming links. These are best achieved through writing press-worthy articles (with links to your site) and submitting to many major news sites.

I have created a PR and did sumbit to serveal differen "important" websites. i did create 3 new pages. But I am still waiting to think of a good idea, where I can write a "small essay" I am thinking along the lines of "Why Custom Computers" and "CbtTechs released Server Sales".

- Without textlinks it's hard for bots to crawl your whole site cause they can't read JS.
- You need more backlinks, a lot of them. Not exchanged but pure backlinks. If you look carefully you will find millions of directories, sites etc that matter where you can submit your url freely.
- You need more content
- You need more time, a lot of searchengines sandbox your results if you're just new. It's like a new company, it has to grow before it can compete with the top companies.

I don't want to burst your bubble but be prepared for a huge drop in the beta MSN list. I was nr1 for weeks on the beta site for various keywords. Then they updates everything and the whole top 20 sites listed on those keywords just dropped back enourmously, including me.

I've sumbited to some directories. You got a list or something handy? How do you propose I get text links on my homepage? I'm adding a new page full of content today or tomorrow. I am also adding a whole new part to my site:

Selling Servers.

That'll also be content rich. Yes, I need backlinks, so I've heard. Nothing I can do about that without any $ :(
