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.

Exact Domain Match Ranking Very Well
Hello, I have some competitors that purchase targeted keywords, host a single page, and do a re-direct on to their inventory page. The problem Im having is getting above them, along with other competitors that have a high DA. They have little or no content on the page but rank very well. Is there anyway around sites like this? ex-bluewidgets.net bluewidgets.org Thank You

Make a new page or more links to existing page for 2nd keyword?
We have a page optimized for 'blue widgets'. We rank in organic spot #3 or 4 for that (moves around from week to week). Fairly happy with that. We have another derivative term 'blue widgets small' (example, but it's same format: <original phrase="">+ <single word="">) where we currently rank #6 organic in Google when people search on the 3 word phrase.</single></original> We'd like to rank higher than #6 for the 3 word phrase. Should we: (1) Build a bunch of links with anchor text equal to the 3 word phrase and point to the existing page (which is optimized on-page for the first 2 of the 3 words) or (2) Make a new page optimized for the 3 word phrase and then start building links to it with anchor text equal to the 3 words (and non-cannibalizing variants of the 3 words)? The 2 word phrase is pretty competitive and it has taken us months to get that page to be #3 or 4 organic for that phrase. The 3 word phrase is much less competitive and we don't think it would take that long to make a dedicated page rank higher than #6 for the 3 words. Suggestions? Thanks.

Can You Rank Without Backlinking?
With all the new emphasis on on-page metrics and social metrics, would it be possible to rank well without putting much emphasis on backlinking if your content is significantly better than the rest of the ranking pages? Say #1 to #5 are pages of 500 word generic content. We come in with 2,000 word specific, high-quality content. Can we get by without spending as much time/energy on backlinking? Would the on-page factors make up for it, or has the game not changed that much?
