I only spend a few minutes each week pinning my new articles to Pinterest and posting some links on Twitter, that's it.
I spend most of my time (20+ hours/week) working on my own site and publishing new content.
Pinterest gets me a ton of traffic. Pin a few of your articles on there and they spread like wildfire all on their own. It's crazy how effective Pinterest can be.
There is another website that helps. Not too many people know about it, but it's called Scoop.it.
As far as Facebook and Twitter...
Could you please elaborate a bit more on this? I have gotten ranked #1 for a couple of my low competition keywords through forum links, but nothing of that caliber! I think the best keyword I have at #1 right now due to forums only has a monthly search volume of about 1000.
Keyword domains still perform pretty well even though they aren't supposed to.
My website isn't a keyword domain, it's a branded one but I still rank on the front page for a lot of the keywords I target. Most of my keywords are pretty easy to rank for though.
The key thing is content...
Flickr has a section for Creative Commons images. You can use most of those. Just check the attribution options for each image and make sure that your usage complies with them. Be sure to give credit in your blog post to the Flickr user too, of course.
Hi. I have a flickr account with some images on it. Would adding a link to my site in the image descriptions be helpful? Or are they completely nofollow just like a link in the comments section would be?
Thanks.
Yep, your backlink profile is the deciding factor in raising your page rank. The graph that unbel posted has the right idea.
So wait... that chart says you only need a single PR5 backlink in order to get your page up to PR3? That doesn't seem right to me...
