Surely the sites without “seo” in the URL have the competitive edge over the others?.

they focus on quality rather than quantity. Backlinks are not value by quantity but by authority the website linking to seo london must have a high page rank.

I notice that the majority of the sites linking to SEO London are educational .ac.uk sites. This has got to be a huge factor. I have a legal site that ranks 3rd for a particular term however the site at number one for that same term has a fifth of the links I do. However all sites linking to my competitor are .gov.uk sites.

Domain age is a key factor and this has been proven on several occasions.

Hi Craig,

I think you have a good point about the site structure and content. I have been trying to advise clients for a long time that their internal linking patterns are crucial to their rankings and success. I can understand the university domains holding the weight they do, it is the same with the .gov domains, unfortunately you can’t get a link from these type of domains unless you know the right people, money doesn’t talk with these type of links.

A lot has to do with the University links ac.uk – they hold a lot of power on Google. The internal infrastructure of the site is setup right and holds much unique content. These are the main reasons the site ranks higher on Google now. We beelive onsite development is held in higher regard for seo as opposed to 2 years ago.

@article v,

No links? That is strange, I don’t buy the domain age theory but I do believe in a link age theory, meaning ranking can depend on the age of your links, however it is pretty much the same thing. This is why I like to build links to a domain for three months before doing SEO copywriting.

I see where you are coming from. Analysing again I guess it is pretty well ranked for what appears to be a handfull of links. Man, I need to get some ac.uk links to my sites Is it irrelevant? Well, playing devils advocate here, it will not be irrelevant for them as SEO appears in their company title. But yes, it’s an interesting site for sure. I’ve seen really funny results in the past, like one guy I was competing with for a keyword had done nothing, no work, no seo, no links, nothing, but he ranked really well for the keyword. I put it down to domain age in the end and gave up!
