Google Keyword Ranking Experiment

    Hi guys

    I have now begun a simple strategy to see how effective it will be for ranking well in Google. If it works I will do it over again with other keywords.

    Here is what I will do:

    Find Keyword

    For this I use Market Samurai and Google Keyword Tool to find a keyword that has at least 80 searches pr day and less than 50K competition. So for this site I found one keyword that has 2,400 monthly searches and 10.000 pages competition. So far so good.

    Write Post

    Next I have written a post on my site aorund 400 words with keyword in title and 3 times in first paragraph. After that I try to include it every 100 words or so.

    Article Submission

    Then I will write 20 articles to submit to various article site. The articles will be different but use the keyword as anchor text.

    Update Blog Net

    I then write 5 new spin off articles and submit to 5 other blogs I have on the subject.

    Article Submission For Blog Net

    Now I write 4 articles for each of my other blogs and link to them with my keyword phrase.

    Social Media Submission

    Next I submit my other blogs and the original site to the top 5 social media sites. I do this over a perioed of a few days to not spam.

    So this is the plan guys.

    How do you think it will work and how long to see results? I will update this thread when something happens.

    Honestly with 10k competition, just writing the articles should guarantee you a good place.

    Add a few free directory links if possible and you should be able to hit the first page quickly with such a low competition keyword.

    One thing you need to take into consideration is that there may not be much competition but the existing competition could be aggressive and fighting for the coveted first few positions.

    Actually this keyword only has a few sites on the first page, the rest is articles and forums, so I should be able to get up there once I have some backlinks. Unless I am in the sandbox, but I dont think I am as I got a pretty competetive google search (a broker review search) yesterday, but when I search I was listed as 77 only.

    But I will have to wait for the next google serp update yes?

    Good point about the web directories, do you have any recommendations?

    I have submitted articles to the 5-6 largest article sites now.

    Latest google ranking dropped form 34 to 47, so its going the wrong way at the moment.

    I will try to do some social submission and we will se what that does.

    So you are trying to rank one webpage or an entire website? Though the latter would take more work, it'd offer you more opportunities to include content and target your keyword (and its variations)?

    Could this be penalty for submitting to too many social websites? Is it possibly someone complained fo spam?

    what exactly did you do? it could be that you submitted your links and social bookmarks too fast. How many social bookmarks did you do in a day? how many links did you build? also how old is your site?

    My site is very new. Only few weeks.

    I submitted maybe 6 or 7 social bookmarks in one day plus got 3 or 4 article backlinks in 1 or 2 days.

    Maybe Google is spying here to discourage this? I never have had this happen to me before!

    Google gives some factor on freshness. My new articles always ranked well. Then, in time, they slowly submerged. This phenomenon, I believe, is the single most important sign why a blog is better than a static web site. In a blog, you can always reintroduce the same topic with a different angle.
