Ways to increase ranking positions?
-
Hi,
I want to discuss the different methods for increasing ranking positions for a keyword using offsite SEO methods.
If your targeting a keyword which gets 20,000 exact match searches a month for a new website then the first thing you are going to want to do is rank in the top 5 within Google for that term.
I know onsite will come into play as well but lets just say you have used the SEOMOZ tools and your onsite SEO achieves a grade A.
So what needs to take place in order for your website to start climbing ranking positions?
I myself would be more inclined to spend a few days creating 4-5 nice articles and offer them up for guest blogging with anchor text links.
I may also use the content on a hub page, squidoo lens, wordpress blog, blogger blog, weebly blog and so on with social bookmarking thrown into the mix.
But will this alone over a period of time (depending on the competition) increase rankings?
Am I missing a trick here???
Cheers

We never give content away. Never have, and never will.
If you have great content promote it heavily on your own site. Submit it to sites such as slashdot, stumble, digg, reddit as appropriate. Make it very easy for visitors to tweet, like and share. Other than that I don't market my content, instead I spend that time to produce more.
Links accumulate slowly at first but then once you start getting a little traffic the links arrive a bit faster.
That's my experience.

I totally agree with you EGOL, you have given this advice to me in a earlier post which was noted, but I suppose my challenge to this is:
How will this great content get links if know one knows about it?
If I spent 2 days writing a piece of content that was the best-online with pictures etc and put it on my website it may never be found unless I social bookmark it.
Would you not say guest blog until rankings kick in and relevant traffic is aware of my site through the guest blogging then start posting my great content on my own website.
If in your experience this is not the right way then just say.
Cheers

I might try a few of those methods, cheers.

Typically, I'd offer an exchange on my blogroll. But, I've gotten links on blogrolls from giving the webmaster a free seo report on their site and how to improve. Also, I've gotten links just by sending an email and informing the webmaster about my site and how having a link back would benefit their users.

Thanks for the response,
Blogroll's are hard to get on though, what did you offer in return to get on the blogroll's?

I myself would be more inclined to spend a few days creating 4-5 nice articles and offer them up for guest blogging with anchor text links.
Consider spending 8 to 10 days making these articles best-on-the-web and posting them on your own site where people will link to them because of their merit.

Hi, Recently I've been noticing that getting some solid blogroll links with your targeted keyword as your anchor text gives some really nice results... Guest blogging and having targeted keywords in your article as your anchor will most certainly help also. But this blogroll's have done wonders for me
Good luck! Jesse

Rankings Drop Across Search Engines
Hello! I know this may sound a bit weird, but has anyone experienced any search engine rankings drop after Penguin on Bing and Yahoo as well? I am trying to locate the issue with one website I am doing optimization on and it has ranked lower on some keywords on all three search engines, directing me to suspect there's an issue with the site itself. Thanks!

White Hat way to do blog commenting
Do you guys think careful blog commenting is still a valuable day-to-day linkbuilding tactic? If I create a list of relevant unspammed blogs, and spend maybe 30 minutes per day commenting on 3-5 of them per day, while making sure that they're not inundated with spammy comments - is that worth my time?

What percentage of an old post can I change without lose rank?
A few months ago I updated some old posts of my site (Wordpress), to improve old content, with new pictures (better quality), better content, new info about product, and links to our review of this product (newer posts). Most part of the content is this old posts were new, so I "deleted" the old text but replaced the new one with another of better quality. I suppose it will help new post to improve rank, but I los thousands of daily visits, because old posts ranks worse since the change. What do you think? What happened here? Maybe I shouldn't update the whole text, only add a link to new content? Thank you!

So, domain indexed is footballboots.co.uk (fictitious) I start building backlinks using www.footballboots.co.uk. Should I have started building backlinks using footballboots.co.uk for this to work better? Cheers

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?
