Keywords Ranking Secret?
-
When I searched "long dresses" in Google.com, and found the following page is ranked on top 10
http://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=long+summer+dresses
But there is no back link pointing to this page, so why does this company manage to rank high for such a competitive keyword without link building? Any opinions?
-
lol.... NO!

Ah I'm afraid I haven't read the whole thing. I have this tendency to only ever read two thirds of any book before starting on the next one... I have a shelf full on partially read books with only a couple completely read. I tell myself that one day I will finish them all but I'm curious to see if that will ever happen.
To Rand and the others credit, the Art of SEO is one of the only ones I've read all of. I wonder if there's any relation in terms of where he got the title?

I really enjoy reading his book. I have it on my phone and read a chapter whenever I have a few minutes. I've read it several times and see so many applications of it to SEO and business competition.

Very few pages rank well for competitive keywords using "secrets".
Sun Tzu, a military philosopher from about 500 BC said... "It is possible to know how to conquer without being able to do it."
The same is true on the web today. It comes down to a "battle of resources" applied over basic smarts.

Firstly, this page has a PR 2 which clearly explains that this page has backlinks. It only depends upon the tool you are using to view it. Secondly, if you go to the home page and then search "long dresses", you will get the same page which means that this page exists and is in the index of the search engine

If you run the seomoz term target tool on the page it scores very well across the board.
Looking at the title, meta description and page content it appears to be a well optimized page for the term. For it to have no links to it at all would suggest it is a newish page, so it might drop a few pages over the next few days - it's not uncommon for a new, well written page to rank well for a week or so and then drop a little.

There are backlinks, it's just the OSE hasn't picked the site up yet:

Google Ranking
I'm working on a page for couple of months now and try to rank for very competitive keyword. I have reached position 12 and it's 97% optimized, the sites keeps going up and down between position 10 & 13. I already changed content a couple of times and already created a few links with the targeted anchor tags. However I'm scared if I create more links it will be penalized. What do you suggest? Should I create more links with the targeted anchor tags or should combine the keyword in anchor tags with other words? Loading time, title, descriptions, content everything perfect optimized.

Is it possible to rank a second site, for my buisness, for the same location?
I have an insurance agency, and recently set up a new site, specifically for personal lines insurance. My question is; Is it worth trying to rank this site, by using backlinks and unique content? It will have the same address, and location as my main site. I'm also concerned Google may frown on that.. Any input appreciated.

Question about ranking and links
Hi, Some back ground info first: My DA/PA is 42, the competitors who show up in the search engines for the term I am after have DA/PA 55/60. I have been creating anchor text links which target the term im after through guest blogging usually blogs with DA/PA 40+, I did this consistently with a guest post every 3 days for about a month so that's around 10 guest posts. And I also did some brand name blog comments, but these were no-follow and added sig to some forums. This moved me from page 5 to page 1, position 4. I then stopped and over the last 3 weeks it slipped to position 6 then to position 8. The competition doesn't look to actively target this term looking at the data from opensite explorer there main anchor text is there brand names. Why would I be slipping through the results? Not moaning just want to understand why so I can counter it. I was thinking about going for social signals through a blog to help.

Back Link: Is LinkedIn keywords in profile good Link building strategy?
I distribute industrial products B2B with e commerce. I have a personal profile on LinkedIn. I listed the products I sell and I could have all my partners and associates list my web site on their profiles. Do search engines review LinkedIn personal profiles or company profiles and is it a good marketing strategy to have my web site, keywords, and my two largest selling products on LinkedIn?
