What do i do when all pages are grade A?

[spytunes]

I've used the on page grade and now have all my pages at a grade A for relevant keywords.

Most of them are cool, achieveing first page rankings apart from a few massive keywords.

So the question is, what's next? What do i do now that I'm at grade A, but perhaps not #1 yet...

Cheers

I think what I've done wrong in the past is to go to sites in my field and get links from them.

I should go to sites outside my field that relates to my specific page or blog, this way it's relevant, not trying to steal their traffic...

I do both. really i do anything i can anywhere i can to get good quality links from other sites. as lewis mentioned below, it is also important to focus on content building.

If you are confident that your on page optimisation is done then as is recommended on other responses the focus should switch to link building.

Don't just comment on blogs, create quality content that people will want to link to.

Sometimes there are relevant sites to contact to ask for a link such as a supplier or sites that multiple competitors are linked from but you are not that might be worth chasing.

So do you actually speak to them and have them link rather than that you do it yourself in their forum etc? -dan

I don't seem to have any difficulty getting comments approved on blogs and forums.  You just have to keep your comment on topic with the post or forum.  If you venture too far away from that they will deem you spammy.  Try to look for blogs or forums that are actually on your topic.  Also look for some blogs that have "do follow" comments pluggin installed.

often i search google for: keyword +"do follow" blog

or similar.

Also we have had luck getting links from local authority sites for projects we have done locally.  Anything that can get you a bit of local publicity often you can convince them to link to you.

Cheers for that, keep the tips coming. About links. The blogs I find and comment on hardly ever approve my comments, is it just a matter of keep on digging? Forums are the same, very territorial... How do you guys approach this? -dan

Work on getting more inbound links to deep pages with related anchor text, from related and trusted domains.
