#1 Ranking with PR0 against PR4 and 6?

I think anchor text links from related sites help a lot, but i also have a similar PR0 site, 2 months old which is ranking quite well with approx 3 incoming anchor links.

The search query is Relevant Keywords, reasonable competition around 30,000,000 ish see http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=relevant+keywords&btnG=Search&meta=

The domain name is relevantkeywords.co.uk and has been No.2 or 3 for a month or two now.

I think that providing your own unique content optimized with the targeted keywords, seems to be a method that works, effectively most of the time.

 

You can get higher SERP even you have no PR or less PR as long as your site was optimized with your targeted keywords and you have many backlinks using your targeted keywords as anchor text.

 

Hi,

I took the above text from Google it self. It's in Google technology address.

PR is included in the SERP which makes it part of it.

Regards

 

I am #4 without quotes and was #3 yesterday

As already said, this entry:
"Your Affiliate Marketing Plan - The 4 Biggest Flaws and How To Get ..."

It has about 500 searches in a month (combined - most in google).

This is too crazy! Before 5 minutes I was #4 and now I am on page 2...let's see how it develops. I should have made a screenshot, lol!!

Ok, so I think a backlink with the anchor text "Affiliate Marketing Plan" should help, preferably with a nice PR.

I had another thought: while it shows now PR0 for the article, maybe some of the ezinedirectories PR is transferred, but it would only show on the next google update.

In my understanding, one PRx+1 backlink is more worth than lots of backlinks with PRx. So for example one PR3 backlink would help you more than lots of lower PR backlinks.

 

I think that's maybe not harder to rank for my phrase because the phrase has few searches, even less than mine. In Yahoo it has 15 searches for UK and 131 searches for US. But ok, maybe it's worth for you to pay a domain for that. At least it looks impressive when a simple 1-page-article-website ranks against so many other websites.

Another thing: I rank also good for Affiliate Marketing Business Plan, which has again about that number of searches for the other phrase, so there are about 1000 searches per month, I think that's a nice think, so hopefully I will get some steady traffic from it.

 

Results 1 - 10 of about 843 for "affiliate marketing plan".
Results 1 - 10 of about 539 for allintitle: "affiliate marketing plan".

There is no solid competition for this phrase. So that is why it has been pretty easy to rank. Relevance is more important than PR. SERP is all about Relevancy + Authority. If only PR mattered then all the PR 8-9-10 sites would rank for every keyword that is being searched for.

If you can do proper "ON Page Optimization", I think its fairly easy to beat any High PR page, especially when there is such little competition.

 

So do backlinks to a specific article (one you've written for example) help that specific article?

So could you say have an ezine article with the keyword "seo", then write another article in go articles to promote your original aricle with a link being:

<a href="http://www.yourezinearticle.com">seo tips</a>

 

Where can I find a list of these trusted domains?
Does google provide this information?

 

I think you get a rank 1

 

I think it's not possible to profit from backlink, because that URLs in ezinearticles are only the root domain, and then a parameter with /?......
So no real URL. Then the root URL from ezinearticles would get the benefit of the backlink, or am I wrong?

 

Hi,

the author already addressed that he is also in the top positions without the quotes.

Check the topic without the quotes and it shows up a nice competition.



Regards

 

Yes, I was #3 without quotes. You can look here. Ok, not a great achievement for that small search mount, but anyhow, other's are paying good Adwords Ca$h for it, hehe. Just a nice small success to repeat...

But sadly, I changed the article's ressource box, and then the article disappeared for that keyword phrase. It doesn't rank in 1000 and doesn't come back! For other phrases it's still there. Strange.

Now other pages who contain a the headline and a link to my article are ranking, but not my article itself. I still need to understand this.

Here this thread is ranking, but not my article, lol:

Hard to say how those things can happen, but congrats on your small feat!

 

The reasons why it is ranked high could be:

1. New site rankings - this is a temporary effect and after a few days or a week or so, it drops.

2. High PR from parent. PR is passed from the main page to the sub page which is where your article is housed.

3. There is an advantage with posting at article directories which label their articles according to the title. Most article titles contain the target keyword. From a SEO angle, this is good.

Frankly, I have ranked my articles in Page 1 even No.1 many times. But the common conditions are

1. Article is unique and
2. Keyword is not too competitive
