How can i Outrank my Competition?

[SEO5Team]

Hi Andreas,

A very open ended question. It depends on a lot of factors, the competition, the industry, geo target. The fundamentals involve 3 aspects:

• Strong On Page SEO (www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/on-page-factors)

• Strong Off Page primarily link building (http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links)

• Social Media (www.seomoz.org/blog/the-social-media-marketers-seo-checklist

As long as you have these 3 aspects covered, you are off to a very good start. Keep monitoring your progress regularly. Setup baseline metrics for rankings, traffic and conversions and keep marking progress each day,week, month, quarter, year.

All the best.

Go to the "Learn SEO Page" on SEOmoz.

Use the links to learn a lot about SEO.

Then build a website that applies what you learn.

Fill the website with content that is better than your competitor's site.

Then apply the site promotion lessons.

Depending upon your competition you might be successful in a couple months or a much longer period of time - maybe never if you don't work hard or don't have the skills and resources to defeat the competitor.
