Seo Experts And Wannabees

August 14th, 2009 admin No comments

It seems like everybody is willing to call themselves an seo expert these days. It’s just ridiculous if you ask me. I feel bad for small business owners who have no idea what seo even is and end up with someone they think is an expert. Only, of course to never have their websites achieve a ranking for a competitive term.

So this post is kind of a heads up, a warning to those who are looking to hire an seo company or seo expert to do your dirty work. I want to make sure that you don’t get scammed by these vermin who call themselves pro’s and experts when in fact they are just ignorant noobs looking to make some money.

Here’s the real truth, and bookmark this page because you wont get the straight truth anywhere Read more…

Link Building Tools

August 13th, 2009 admin No comments

Link building tools are essential if you are a professional internet marketer.  Successful internet marketing comes in different forms and with different business models but it all can be boiled down to a really simple forumula.

You need sites (or pages) and you need them to rank. That’s what it boils down to. You need to rank for keywords that lead to sales.  Naturally it goes without saying that the better keywords you have the better traffic your website will receive.  But you wont receive any traffic if you don’t rank for some keywords. You need to appear in the results when someone googles a keyword.

So how to you rank for keywords? Well that all depends on Read more…

Link Building Strategies

July 16th, 2009 admin 1 comment

There are so many link building strategies that it’s almost impossible to number them. I’ve seen posts titled 120 ways to get links but I was never really impressed with them. It was a lot of fluff most of the time, but still with a few jems here and there.

I’ve already delved into some interesting link building strategies in some of my previous posts about funneling page rank. In this post I want to talk about one particular link building strategy. Now I want to make clear first that strategy differs from tactics. Tactics are the how and strategy is the what.

One strategy for getting links is to Read more…

Link Building Tactics 2009

July 16th, 2009 admin No comments

I want to talk about one very interesting link building tactic. It is a funneling tactic as I call it. This is where you funnel link juice from a site with very high page rank to a page you control. It can be just general link juice and not anchored link juice.

All do follow links pass page rank. But it is the words in your anchored links that you will rank for. So getting high page rank anchored links will help your site rank for those words or keywords. That’s anchored link juice. General link juice (yeah, I made these terms up:) is when you leave a non keyword anchor such as a name. You still funnel the pagerank juice but it just stays stored up in your blog. It doesn’t help you rank.

This link building tactics that I’m going to share with you is a technique which funnels general link juice. Read more…

Link Building Tutorial | Funneling Juice

July 16th, 2009 admin No comments

I’m going to give a brief link building tutorial in this post. This is not compreshensive but rather just a brief tutorial around blog commenting and funneling link juice. I want to focus on some of the things I don’t read about often on other blogs. Why repeat the same old stuff right? Well I guess I’ll have to do a little of that for those of you who may not have much experience with seo.

It’s all about getting anchored links. That’s the first thing you should learn in my opinion. Once you realize that you can consistently rank sites and pages by building links to them, you’ll want to really know more about it! But don’t take my word for it, do some research yourself. Analyze a couple hundred top ranking pages across a few dozen niches and you’ll see that the link profiles are always well built. Read more…

Link Popularity Building

July 16th, 2009 admin No comments

The term link popularity building has always struck me as incorrect.  Popularity just sounds kind of redundant to me.  Amassing links is building your link popularity? I dunno, I just don’t like it.

In fact I think that it’s usually someone who is new to seo that calls seo link popularity building. I just get that feeling. I never hear experienced seo’s talk about link building popularity. We talk about link building and different techniques but the word popularity never comes up even as a throw away term.

There for I’m going to guess that if you are reading this post because you wanted to know something about link popularity building, that you are probably a beginner seo. So what should a beginner seo learn about link building then? How about where to get links. Read more…

Reciprocal Link Building

July 16th, 2009 admin No comments

Reciprocal link building is the same as trading links. You get to put your link on my site and I get to put my link on your site. It’s a link exchange. That’s different than three way linking where of couse three sites are involved. So does reciprocal linking work? Yes it works but not as good as it once did say 5 years ago. Reciprocal linking was of course being abused in order to acheive high rankings.

Google got wise to it and devalued reciprocal linking.  That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work at all. It still works a little and every little bit helps. I get a big kick out of the so called “link building experts” who claim on their blogs, to have a great link building tip for you. They then go on to tell you exactly what the best way to Read more…

Seo Link Building

July 15th, 2009 admin No comments

Why build links for seo? The fact of the matter is that seo link building is necessary if you want to rank competitively.  Yes it’s the difficult and tedious job of building anchored links to your blog, pages and sites that will be the critical factor in getting that site ranked.

On page factors such as meta tags, alt tags, keyword placement, tags and so forth are also factors that need to be considered. What one must understand though is that the link building is about 90 percent of it. The link building is the critical component of an seo campaign and not the simple on page stuff. In fact you can rank a blank page with enough links!

So now that we’ve established the importance of a good seo link building campaign I will talk about where we can get links, what kind of links and the most efficient way to harvest those links.

I will start with answering what kind of links one should get.  It helps if we look through googles eyes. How can we do that? Easy, just look at the Read more…
