Hey,

I would suggest doing some work on getting some decent backlinks. I only found 6 for you on Google. Also the anchor text should contain your keyword.

You could start by putting a link in your signature here when you post.

Hey,

For your sig try this code...

[code:1:ad31c1e2c3][url=http://myhivstory.com]All the HIV related news u need to know [/url][/code:1:ad31c1e2c3]

The anchor text is the bit which says "All the HIV related news u need to know"

Since he's targeting "HIV" on SEs, his current sig is better I think. Your suggestions is good as a slogan but not that good as a backlink anchor text. It contains many words, so the importance of the word "HIV" becomes less.

And Aaron's brother (James?), try to find as many backlinks as possible with the anchor text "HIV". Since you got a site with important/interesting content, it won't be hard for you to find backlinks. Here's what you can do to find people who gives links to HIV-related sites: Just search for "HIV" on Google. Pick a site from there and make another search for "link:www.pickedsite.com". Start visiting all of the results and try to contact their webmasters. Repeat the process for as many websites as possible.

And btw, I see some "’" signs on "The Top 25 Things You Need to Know About the Treatment of HIV/AIDS" article. I think it's used in lieu of apostrophe sign. Is it just me or do you see them, too?

Your brother should give you a free copy of his book.

his brother already did that but his brother types in third person and is sometimes frustrated to learn that he has been using meta tag analyzers and the like and recommends he reads the ebook in full and asks any questions he has over the phone

at least that is my opinion... :wink:

I made a blog for my mom but she has not yet posted. I am thinking of making one for my sister.

I wasn't suggesting that as his anchor text, that was his choice. I was simply using it as an example showing how to get his sig right
