Dear Friends, I would like to share one of my experience with you all, I hope this will be helpful for your SERP projects. I had worked for a site for past 30 days and Last night, I got it to #3 on Google, It has about 8,630,000 competitors pages. I had recorded what I have done. Here are the approached which I applied, all these things are spread over 30 days. (The site is about 1 years old, when I started the site sat on 84th place on Google) 50 DOFOLLOW Blog comments 100 Article submissions to 25 Article Directories 70 Forums Postings (Irrelevant) 50 Social Bookmarks 200 Profile links on PR4+ domains Now, I am a happy man. The most helpful approach for me was 200 profile links under PR4+ domains. Till I implement that approach, I was on second page, was sitting on 15th place, After implementing those 200 profiles links, I jumped to number 3 on Google. I am really happy now and I belive my experience help others too, Thanks,
Those tactics might work for a less competitive keyword(s) but are pretty spammy and generally will not work for anything somewhat competitive.
Thanks for sharing, I believe 'number of competitor' pages is a flawed way of measuring competition. Did you find out how many of those profile links are actually indexed?
Yes, I had checked the profile links, most of them are not indexed, but what I feel is, google might have seen those things but not showing the INDEX PAGE for us. Due to that reason only the ranks had gone up. What do you say?
