That is common, google has made a lot of changes lately.

I list of the first page of yahoo, who seem to find more of my backlinks easier than google.
Google knows your backlinks, it chooses not to display them to you. Are you looking in webmaster tools or just a simple link check on google forward facing area? WMT will give you a lot more data.

What am I doing wrong?
Maybe nothing!

I have replied in context, to make it easier to read.

how old is the domain name, and how competitive is the keyphrase

Hi,

Domain name is 10 months old, and the keyphrases are not that competative at all.

The main ones I am aiming for is PC repair solihull or pc repair birmingham (also computer repair blah blah)

I think the competitors sites are nowhere near as good as mine design wise and linkwise.

Thanks,
Aaron

Apologies for asking you for your keywords when you had already posted them

If you are 10 months old, and your competitors have aged links on topic, then you will need to work really hard. If I had more time I would look at it for you, but I am a little pressed to say the least

This is confusing me now...

I think the site is google friendly, certainly more than others, I have quite a few backlinks but still I am not listing.

The keywords I am targeting are not that competative, and I think I am the best by far.

any ideas?

Ok I have bitten the bullet and had a look at your site. I really am pushed for time, and the reason i haven't looked before is that once I look at a site, I need to look more A quick site: check shows this

PC Repairs and Maintenance | Birmingham, SolihullThe complete solution for your PC services in Birmingham, Solihull including repairs, upgrades.PC Repairs and Maintenance | Birmingham, Solihull - 12k - Cached - Similar pages

-------------------------------------

10 pages, all with pretty much the same page title, all with identical descriptions. THAT IS CRAP! pages descriptions are meant to reflect the content on the PAGE, NOT the site, or what you are trying to rank for This page.. PC Repairs and Maintenance | Birmingham, Solihull a description of.. "The complete solution for your PC services in Birmingham, Solihull including repairs, upgrades"

It SHOULD be:

"Information about the services provided by AzzTech Computer Services computer repairs solihull"

------------------------------------- THIS page http://www.needhelpwithyourpc.co.uk/upgrades.htm has a description of..
"The complete solution for your PC services in Birmingham, Solihull including repairs, upgrades"

IDENTICAL to the page above, how the HELL can a site have identical descriptions AND KEYWORDS for one page about general services, and one page about upgrades?

The description should read.
"info about our Computer upgrades in Solihull service, including home visit and quotation service"

------------------------------------------------------

BOTH, in fact ALL the pages on your site use the following keywords in the meta

"PC repairs solihull, Computer repairs solihull, PC repairs birmingham, computer repairs birmingham, Laptop repairs"

if you put words in the meta that are not on your page then you run the risk of being seen as a spammer ! Why? Because you ARE SPAMMING LOL.

Also get rid of that page fade thing. The people who are looking for your services are not happy, they are having computer problems, the LAST thing they want is a slow loading page. It look pants and is probably costing you business, it went out with frontpage 97

You are seriously confusing google also with regard pages. eg Need help with your PC? Computer repairs in Birmingham, Solihull and surrounding areas. is not cached.PC Repairs and Computer Maintenance | Birmingham, Solihull is showing a cache date of may 28 PC Repairs and Computer Maintenance | Birmingham, Solihull They are the same page, you need to sort out your canonical issues via HTACCESS.

Now try this. Type in your web address into google like this PC Repairs and Computer Maintenance | Birmingham, Solihull you will see a PR value of 1. now view the cache of that page OMG! it has no cache How can that be??? Finally (as I don't want to completely depress you, and don't have the time to keep looking as my guess is what I have posted will pretty much fix your ills).

Finally you want to rank for computer repairs solihull, yet you don't have a bricks n mortar address in each page. This is schoollboy local ranking stuff, honestly it is. If you REALLY want to get into googles good books, in your overall footer, add a mini sitemap, add a bricks and mortar address, and add a privacy policy and link to it with the wordds. privacy policy' .

Now you can do what I have said, or you can send £250 to my paypal account and i will get you first page after your site has next been spidered LOL [joke] but it really is NOT as good a site as you feel it is. It has basic schoolboy errors that might well in fact have harmed your chances of ranking rather than helped them. Apologies for being blunt, but you asked.

Apologies for broken links etc, for some odd reason the post went nuts and got html formatted

Thanks for taking the time to look.
