Any search engine expert can help with non-profit Buddhist Site?

Hi,
I am the webmaster of E-Sangha, http://buddhism.lioncity.net/
setup 4 months ago. We are included in dmoz, Yahoo! etc. I had tried few optimization technique describe but I just cannot get the site listed in the top few pages of google. This site is totally non-profit and all our traffic are from word of mouth and google advertisement (sometimes, some members sponsor teh advertisement). We have more than 900 pages, with around 600 indexed by google and our hits daily is around 50,000.
Any expert out there willing to guide me in optimzing the site? The keyword that I want is "buddhism", "buddhist", "mahayana buddhism", "Zen", "zen buddhism" and "tibetan buddhism".
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't know much about optimising for forums. What I would suggest though is:

1) Submitting your site to educational directories and/or religious education sites.

2) Build a static web site that gives lots of information about the different types of Buddism, their history, beliefs etc; and have that as your front end (You obviously have a lot of content available but you need to know who you're trying to reach and for what reason and then you can cater to them).

This way you can try to become an 'Authority' on the Buddist subject and get high rankings.

please note:

relaxzoolander would be 'exempt' from no. 3 and no. 9.
also...i always follow rule no. 5.....karma check...very important!

[edit]
interesting how the no. 8 turns into a smilie....thats some kind of buddha magic or something at work here. cool!
