Any ideas what to do next?

Hi All,
I've submitted this site to Google
It's been cached a couple of times
I've submitted it to 20-30 other engines
I've got some reciprocals
I've hopefully optimised key words / title etc
I've got overture and google ads

and still google hates me! :(

The search term I am working on is 'laser fume'

Would you be kind enough to take a look and help? http://www.laserfume.com

Thanks, Jon--

Google has about 10 pages from your site in its index.

I can find 5 links to your site - NONE of them have the keyword(s) as the anchor text.

To rank better, you need more incoming links, preferably with the words Laser fume in the anchor text.

Thanks for the tip. Do you mean something like this, so that the whole text is the link?

<a href="http://www.laserfume.com">http://www.laserfume.com for

Purex Laser Fume Extraction - Laser Air filtration, Laser Dust Extraction and Laser Air Purification systems for

laser marking, laser engraving, laser cutting and laser welding.</a>

Is there anything else I need to do?

Thanks, Jon--

Yes. But just <laser fume> would be sufficient.

Anchor text of incoming links is the most powerful way of Google determining relevance of a site in response to a search query.

Assuming that I do this but the website I have linked with is not listed in Google - what do you think about me putting some time in to submit the sites I am linked with to Google and others?

Please consider that I have a limited number of relevant sites to link with as this is a specialist subject.

Some thoughts...
Can this be a bad thing, submitting other peoples sites to further your own?

Would it work?

Has anyone done this before?
