$1,000 to get my site 1 spot higher

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by runnerunner, Jan 13, 2010.

    Hey all. So I've been #2 for a search term for a few months on google now and I just can't seem to get that #1 spot. So I'm turning to DPers and offering a $1,000 payout to whoever can give me any SEO idea that can get my site to #1.

    I'll announce here if someone has an idea that I'll implement, I'll then try out that DPers idea for a few weeks, if it doesn't work I'll move on to another DPers idea. The first idea that gets me that top spot I'll pay out $1,000 to.

    I'm not looking for a service, just ideas. I'll implement them/do the work myself. So really no work for the $1,000 winner. Additionally, I'll keep working on my own link building, so that will only increase the odds that the site will pop up with the addition of another SEO idea. So PM me with your best ideas on how to get my site 1 spot higher.

    Not revealing the website or keyword, sorry. Not looking for services either, only ideas.

    High competition, I've done EVERYTHING that has been talked about on SEO forums, so if it's something conventional, I've already done it/am currently doing it. I'm going to need ideas outside the box if anyone has any.

    I think you have the wrong idea.

    Here are reasons why you should give out your domain atleast via PM

    1. We need to check what all you have done and what you have done wrong
    2. We need to analyze your competitor and see why he is ranking above you.
    3. We need to make sure that you are at the #2 spot as you claim
    4. We need to track the progress of your site and collect the "bounty" from you when you achieve #1 spot

    I understand why you'd like to know, but I'm not giving out the domain or keyword.

    For anyone still interested, if there's one area I'm lacking, it's not as many high PR/authority links as the #1 spot. Haven't received any ideas yet. I'll announce publicly if I do get any and if/when I implement any ideas.

    I am a bit confused. What are you looking for? Are you looking for SEO advice? Or are you looking for never before heard advice?

    If you are looking for legit SEO advice, unless you give out your keyword or domain you wont get it.

    If you are just looking for some wild ideas, here it is. Try to buy Google and tweak the algorithm to put your site first!!!

    I am sorry if this offended you in any way, but your offer does not have credibility!!!

    If you will not provide your domain link, then how can we evaluate ranking for 1st position.

    Asking for help like this without giving out your URL and keyword phrase is synonymous to to saying, "My site is not ranking well, what is wrong?" There is no way you're going to get anything other than wild guesses and supposition since people can't see what they're working with, what's been done/not done.

    It's too bad that you don't seem to understand that there is likely not going to be any one idea that get's you to #1 other than the only obvious answer - inbound links from relevant and/or high PR sites with the targeted keyword phrase (and lots of slight variations) as the link text. SEO doesn't work that way. It's the sum of a lot of different things when taken as a whole that is going to get you there... a strategy... not a single holy grail gimmick.

    I'm sure I could probably get you from #2 to #1, but you'll never know because I'm not going to waste my time guessing over $1000 that will likely never be paid out.

    Just let this thread die.
    The OP is being extremely unsympathetic and naive towards the roles and tasks that go on in optimization.

    here's an idea. provide an image/images to every post you will make and name your image as keyword.jpeg or key-word.jpeg. don't forget to put alt tags to you image.

    i hope i can get that 1K lol :D

    I already said it's ranked 2nd, I would qualify a 2nd spot as ranking quite well, nothing is "wrong".

    You say this as if I haven't been building lots of high quality links. I'm not looking for a holy grail, I'm not looking to go from 100th to 1st. I'm looking to go from 2nd to 1st. And I'm looking to get a piece to add to what I'm already doing to bump me up, I've already done most of the work and will continue to.

    I guess you're going to waste your time writing this useless post that doesn't add any information for free though. Thanks bro :)

    Anyways, back to the post subject at hand. Etc, thanks for your idea, but I've used forum links on other sites in the past and have found them to be not very effective.

    Nobody if forcing anyone to contribute their ideas, so if you don't have any to contribute, by all means don't. I only care about any thoughts out there on SEO.

    Dude I have the top four on Google for "commission the best SE0" (Change 0 for o) and I can tell you now getting you number (unless it is Wikipedia above you) would be easy, as easy as peeing on my foot after a few drinks, but without a search term and URL it would be like peeing against the wind and my trousers would just end up all wet and the next they would be smelly.

    I have hundreds, no make that thousands of page 1 SERPS on the likes of Google and also a few hundred number 1 SERPS but what you are asking is imho an impossible waste of peoples time designed to take up time and glean as much info as you can for free!

    You Sir will also be shooting yourself in the foot continually adding links. It's quality not quantity that counts, though you seem partially aware of that but don't seem to be acknow;edging the continual quantity factor can have the exact opposite a detrimental effect.

    I don't consider "commission the best SE0" to be a competitive search term.

    Excuse me, did I say somewhere that I'm constantly adding crappy links? This thread is not designed to take information for free. It's designed to get a #1 ranking and pay $1,000 for an added quality link building strategy/method, as stated in the first post.

    Yoy did not say it directly but without the URL to check just what your backlinking strategy is here > www.backlinkwatch.com what you are asking is impossible Sir!

    As for that one example, you may well be right it is one example among thousands and I worry more about quality backlinks from less so called competitive search terms much more than I do competitive ones.

    For example - Wikipedia are welcome to their number 1 for "SEO", I am happy with my 2 top 4's for "commission SE0" (Change 0 for o) or my 3 of the four top for Commission Search Engine 0ptimiser".

    Sometimes it is not about amount of traffic but quality of traffic.

    The world's number 1 example would be "Free P*rn"

    Link building strategy?????

    That was not clearly stated!

    The only number 1 link building strategy is producing content that either amuses informs or benefits so people do so naturally - The second best strategy I shall keep to myself for now!


    PS This is the SEO Forum - Not link building! The two are not the same on their essential esence.

    I got few suggestion here:

    1. Extend your domain expiry to 10 years
    - Just to show search engine that you are dead serious about this site.

    2. Get several In-content backlinks with your targeted keyword phrase anchored from relevant high PR (PR5+) pages, with low outbound links, and older than 2 years domain with consistent new updates.
    - I believe content section provided highest quality when compared to location from a website or blog to get backlinks from. Just few backlinks from relevant and high authority sites will definitely help.

    I assume that your site is in good shape as you already ranked #2 for this high competitive keyword that you mentioned. You will most probably see some good results from above steps.

    I am not sure whether you have tried this:
    Start an Award in your domain, and try to have the name linked to some famous personality like Barrack Obama, followed by Press Release.
    Your website will appear to be more authoritative to search engines, you'll get good back links, and many more clicks. All these should put you in the first spot.

    If this does not work, I have another idea.
