Most Popular SEO Technique?

IN my opinion content , and RSS Feed

 

Maybe I had missed out something here but lets have a constructive argument here, My question is how could it possible to rank well without backlink unless your keywords you are targeting at is really low in competition or maybe you have a EMD?

Search engine algorithm in my view is it's intelligence but I don't think to that extend that able to recognise 'quality' content.

I think that for an average chap with an average or no audience based, good content is not enough. One should attempt to promote the page/site before viral takes place. So if we are not doing seo, how are will able to bring the site to a favourable position for the wider audience to take notice? It just like having a fantistic product that no ones know...

 

Build Relevant back links!

 

This is a wrong perception that you cannot rank well without back links. It depends how do you make your content and Yes you cannot rank generic keywords like "weight loss" "wholesale". If you target the specific keywords, then you will rank good with many keyword just because of content without any back link.

 

Humm you still didn't really answer my questions. You are merely repeating yourself.

I guess it is common knowledge that if the keyword is long tail and super uncompetitive, a decent on page seo can do the job. But whats the point? The money is in those keywords, who give a hell to keywords that no one search? So without decent backlinking strategy, your content it still can't rank.

 

Well it is still possible without decent link building and remember content is king. FYI, long tails get more quality searches rather just generic ones. I can show you if you don't believe and do remember link building is not SEO. The best way and following the search engine guidelines.

 

Now a days, most of the spammers are using blog commenting even its nofollow to achieve quick rankings. I am not sure about this technique but spammers are 95% using this technique. I also observed few sites using this technique but these sites are penalized by Google after some time.

So it is not a good seo technique. It is totally unethical.

 

Yes please do show me, this will be interesting and hopefully an eye opener for everyone who still believes in backlinks

 

Second to good site structure. I think the most important place to start is on the actual site code itself. Only once that has been mastered branch out to backlinks and adding content.

 

well, the question was what is the most popular SEO method, and I reckon it is quite simply building spammy backlinks anywhere and everywhere, you see a lot of clueless people engading in SEO who think that mass blog commenting and SBMs will really help..... So I reckon link spam would be the most popular, not nessisarily effective, but definately most popular.

 

I'm afraid I have to agree with Am I Tinman. Your argument today has tricked me for 2 years when I used to have a free web browser that I created (something like Firefox) and wanted to market it. I've put my best effort to create the software in the best and professional way I could, but after a while, I discovered that my great software is not being used by more than 5 persons even if I've done all in-page SEO. So, good software (good content in my case) didn't bring the amount of traffic I wanted or claimed by Google and SEO gurus. May be just may be your content will bring you traffic, but not as much as you'd hope and not as fast as you'd want. So, after I started realizing the power behind backlinks, I started to see good traffic rolling into my website, but it was too late.

 

Well then you have wrong perception. The best SEO technique is Link Bait and I hope you know what is link bait.. Here Type in Google "most expensive cars in the world" about 7,490,000 results high competition big websites competing. My blog is showing on 2nd page without any back links just because of content. Then Search "audi q7 review 2010" my blog on first page of Google.. It is not traditional link building and if you are stuck to link building then you are missing out the essence of SEO. Just my 2 cents otherwise if something is working good for you keep using.

 

I must say, that "Article Marketing" has been the best Off-Page SEO technique, for me atleast.

Besides participating in several forums to get backlinks to my site, the only other SEO tactic I use is "Article Marketing".

I rank very well for all 3 keywords that I target. 2 of the 3 keywords are on the first page of Google and the other one is on the 2nd page.

Results may vary depending on several things, but, I'm definitely proof that Article Marketing works, for SERPs, traffic, and organic traffic - and a few other things as well.

I can help anyone of you in Article Marketing if you want to learn how to capitalize on it. Just hit me up!

 

The money is definitely in those keywords... If NO-ONE is searching for what you have to offer, why in the heck would you target those keywords? Unless your trying to prove you can rank a website? Which you really don't prove anything, if they are very very uncompetitive keywords.

This is correct to a point. You still have to do your research when you want to rank for long-tailed keywords. Because, you probably aren't going to try and rank for - "Why Do Cows Fly" - No point in this, because no-one searches for this, right?

Link building is a must, IMO - But, getting 1,000 PR0 backlinks is a waste of time in my book. Don't get me wrong, I have several PR0 backlinks, because they just happen naturally, I don't necessarily target them. But a website can out rank another website with just 10 PR7 backlinks as compared to a site with 1,000 PR1 backlinks.

So, you don't believe in backlinks? That's like saying content is "CRAP" lol...I will be waiting for the non-believers of backlinks.

Let me take a look at your website and details if you don't mind... Again though, a website with 10 PR7 backlinks could and can out rank a site with 1,000 PR1 backlinks. There's a lot more that's involved with why sites out rank other sites, but we can all agree on this - "CONSISTENCY IS KEY" along with "VARIETY"!

 

For me, creating unique article followed by article submission and keep on participating in related forums or forums that usually indexed by SE's.

 

So, you don't believe in backlinks? That's like saying content is "CRAP" lol...I will be waiting for the non-believers of backlinks.


When did I said I am no believer of backlink? If you had read carefully.. I am trying to get nightcrawlers to proof his stand.

 

Yeah, your right, I read it again, what you had said above and did read it wrong... My BAD!

 

What ever you do(directory submission, article writing, blog post, etc..) you need a good content to get backlink or traffic. Link partner is also another considerable. Because one of my competitor had backlinks with high pr site and he got many og backlink from that.

 

Link bait - isn't it another form of backlink building strategy?

IMO 2nd page of search result is a good you at on page 200, hardly there are visitors go beyond 1st page of of search result. And I don't think 7,490,000 search results warrant how competitive is the kw. Competition is based on the pages ranking on the first few pages of the search results. Based their on site factors like the title tag, url and backlinks.

The two keyword you suggested isn't that tough and the commercial intend of the keywords are rather low too. So in retrospect what you had argued, a website/page can only rank decently if the competition is low. And IMO that a low competition keyword is not a profitable keyword. So if we are going to take on a more profitable keywords, content alone is not enough.

Cheers

 

Can you rank weight loss keyword just doing good old link building? Bottom line is that as I have mentioned you can only rank the keyword with content with long tail more specific not generic keywords. As you said they are not high competition or traffic generating I am getting all the traffic from these keywords. Link bait you don't know what is it exactly...
