Thought I'd post this in the newb section, not really a newb question.
ANYWAY...
What are your opinions on why Google will rank some sites for geo-specific terms but not others?
i.e.
Find property for sale in Cambridgeshire - Google Search
Find property for sale in Devon - Google Search
Find property for sale in London - Google Search
Find property for sale in Essex - Google Search
How would you go about conquering the top 5 if you're competing with sites like
FindaProperty.com Estate agents property search for sale & rent UK & overseas properties &
Primelocation: Homes & Houses for Sale, Estate Agents, Property Search when they boast upto 800,000 inlinks and a damn fine internal linking structure?
Name a county in the UK and they are in the top 3 for property based key phrases!
Any ideas?
