I am currently trying to better the SEO for my website.I used the keyword tool on google adwords to find keywords/phrases that are relevant to my website.I choose 10 keywords with alot of monthly searches, but not too much as im starting out & i think it will be slightly easier to get better rank in the less used keywords. I also checked the competition on each keyword/phrase & went for low - med competition.I then added these keywords into my website/webpage & then started to build blog, forum & web-directory back-links to my website using the keywords/phrases i choose as the anchor text in the backlinks.This is as much as i have done so far regarding keyword targeting.Is there anything about what i done that you would consider wrong?Is there anything else that i should do to improve what iv done already?Please comment on this thread with your thoughts as im quite new to the SEO game & will appreciate any help, tips, etc.. given to me!Thank You!
I didnt know this. Do you think google adwords keyword tools is a good tool to use for searching keywords?I have 10 spaces for keywords in my cpanel of the SEO section of my website builder. Do you know if that means i can only target 10 keywords? or Does that just want the 10 main keywords, but i can still target others aswell?
Hi Sean101, you already done this experiment. That is good. Now what about the result you are getting. Share the information to get assessed the fruitfulness of your experiment.
I have done this, yes. When i checked my backlinks using the iwebtool.com backlink checker its only saying "12 backlinks", but i know for a fact i have at least a few 100 from differant forums. I think this is because of google has not found/indexed all the pages with the links on them yet. I have bought directory submission aswell (2000). I will add to this as the weeks go by. The directory backlinks have been spaced out over 6 months & any others i buy in the furture i will do the same, I want it to look natural to search engine rather than 100's of links per day & getting penilised for it. Im not seeing much visitors just now, but i only started the SEO work last week so in time in hoping for it to improve.
Thanks mate! The info is just based on what iv learned in forums & then put in practice. Weither it works or not is yet to be seen in months to come when hopefully my visitors increase as i increase backlinks.
I think, Sean101, you've done everything right... SEO is a long term project. I doesn't happen overnight. One thing I would mention about the backlinks is that the reason behind those 12 backlinks, even you've built a few 100, is that they haven't been found by Google. A good advice might be to build backlinks to you backlinks to show Google the importance of the links... In my case, it works about 80% right. Hope it helped...
I just want to make sure i am targeting the correct keywords/phrases in the correct way before i get to far into building backlinks. Ill just put this problem to the back of my mind for now & just check up on the results at times, as i think your correct about its just down to google hasnt indexed the pages with the backlinks yet. What do you mean?.. building backlinks to my backlinks. Can you build backlinks to other backlinks?
Well, the keyword/phrase is the #1 thing when wanting your site ranking high.. Now, when you've already built the site, the keyword is there and it's hard to change. Yes, that's for sure. Well I wouldn't be building backlinks to social bookmarks, since it doesn't make any sense, but social bookmarking the articles you've published in article directories is a must-do in order to get the articles indexed and to gain some kind of value to your site. In general, you are building backlinks to your site because you want your site to rank high. But how do you get valuable links back to your site if they are like non-indexed website? You want the links to get some value. You have to treat them like your site. But as usual, there are some exceptions. Like social bookmarking social bookmarks is not very wise choice...
ahh.. I get you! I need good backlinks to my website on indexed pages. So backlinks to my website on non-indexed pages are no value to me, so i help get the pages with my backlinks on them get indexed by linking to them.
I have added my website to my profile, so you can have a look at it by clicking my username, then "Visit Homepage".
Hi, that's right... You have to energize the backlinks to be found by Google. There's been a good product called Backlink Energizer for one time fee and it works just great. But backlinks are not the only factor that is going to change your site's ranking... And by the way, nice website...
Ill check it out mate, thanks. What other main factors are there other than keyword targeting & on-site keywords(meta-tags, density, etc)? Thanks mate!
I think you bookmark them, using social bookmarking websites. Heres a list of websites www.submitedge.com/social_list.html
