If you're after highly advanced knowledge then you're completely in the wrong place, in the same way that people who ask for medical advice on these boards are in the wrong place.

If you're seriously interested in SEO - and if you want to know advanced stuff, that implies you are - then be prepared to spend quite a bit of money learning about it.

A lot of people (myself included) are learning about SEO to make lots of money. The people who have mastered it, are already using it to make lots of money (and partly by selling the information on how to do it).

If you want specific knowledge, then you need to go to specific places on the web.

I managed to get my site VERY high with some simple yet effective SEO techniques.
Forgive me, but firstly there doesn't appear to be too much competition on your site. The only thing the site ranks well for is "adam ash", which gets about 70 hits a month, and will be a fairly unique name. The other keywords listed don't rank well at all.

(If they rank well for you, then it's possible that google is giving a 'biased view' where it modifies the listings for sites it detects you frequently using)

Secondly many of the links (most of which are from DV) are backlinks and/or nofollow which Google doesn't really care for. Google likes lots of inbound links that do not have backlinks or nofollow.
