I have personally run dozens of websites over the years and submitted to over 10,000 directories...they are not uesless but most become parked/redirected after one years time so it's a constant struggle to build backlinks with this method.
Using article directories for direct traffic is mostly a waste of time imo...very little of the traffic comes from a direct result of the article on another website. If you want direct traffic put the article on your own website. If you want backlinks spread the content to article directories...
I don't think so. If the page has the proper meta data setup and the spider can still read the text/content of the page I see no reason why it wouldn't rank well...but if the ONpage stuff (meta data) is not properly done obviously you would have major problems.
Solid tips...I try to create advertising spots on the top right corner of content or directly below it because of the reason you listed, people read from left to right, and sometimes after reading the only thing that gets them is the ad at the end of the article versus closing the webpage.
You should do a search for a related kw in your niche and follow those people. Most will follow you back and then you just give updates regularly (maybe twice a day) and you will get more followers.
Great list but like others have stated its really quality > quantity..90% of these will fail out within the year becoming parked/redirected or buggy so choose wisely
I agree...I have seen websites with thousands of links and little to no conversions. At the end of the day is about a quality website but backlinks are critical to achieving SERP results that can get you the traffic you need to expand.
When the Google dance happens it is either due to a new website doing well in the SERPS or a change/shift in the algorithm. Most likely what you will need to do is not worry about it and continue to build backlinks via Offpage SEO, but you should double check your Meta data to ensure your...
This is probably under the same phenomenon of Squidoo pages of the past ranking extremely highly with PR and now Twitter. Sometimes the age of a domain can give a website higher PR than normal. On average though, the specific pages PR is based off how many websites and the quality of them link...
PR and alexa are completely separate. PR is a physical representation of how many websites rank to you, quality benefiting you more of course. So you can have a million links pointing to you but only have the anchor text "grandma pants in the summer" where you will receive little to no traffic...
The vast majority of no follow links are probably not counted, but that doesn't mean a few doesn't slip by the cracks or have some affect on the SE ranking, even if a small percentage so get the links where you can and let the SE's sort it all out :)
The best sitemap you can use is the sitemap on your actual website. This helps not only your users but also proper interlinking strategy to boost your inner pages and ensure they are indexed/cfrawled properly, which will boost your index and your SERPS. An XML sitemap is unecessary to submit to...
I use to submit websites manually to SE's but you have to realize if you are important enough they will find you are on their own. All you need is unique well interlinked pages with proper Meta info and some backlinks....you will be crawled and ranked accordingly.
Good content usually means unique well-written content which is encompassed in ONpage SEO along with Meta data: titles/descrip/tags so Google does favor these things along with Offpage, backlinks with the appropriate anchor text to increase your SERPS and PR.
Bing favors ONpage SEO heavily from what I have experienced but it is a welcome competitor to Google imo. It still needs to tweak its algorithm but it has the potential to take over some market share as it is backed by a major corporation.
just because these are "old" techniques doesn't mean they aren't what works best. There are only a handful of "major" ways to get links but the key is persistence and quality.
