I have started a new site, and I want to rank it high in SERPs for the term "Spotify Invites". Here's the URL: Spotify Invites I have tried to put my main keywords in the webpage content, as well as the <title> tag and <h1> tag, but I'm really not sure if I'm doing well or not. Could anyone provide some more help? Perhaps give me some guidlines on what to change/do next? Would be very much appreciated, thanks
SEO blows and more noteworthy, that site blows. Do not, I repeat, do not shut off adblock to view this crap. You will get stuck on the typical cpa lead bullshit, but you cant leave the page... it totally hijacks your browser. Quit praying on unsuspecting internet surfers. Nigel
Oh dear. I'm just trying to take advantage of internet marketing to make some money, aren't most people here? Only one page of the site has a CPAlead gateway, and all you need to do is press the back button in your browser. It doesn't 'hijack' it at all. Now, my original question was related to SEO, not the ethics or viewer friendlyness of the site. So please stick to that. That's what I will be working on from today and on... but I wanted to get an opinion of the way the site is coded, keyword density in my content and anything related to the site and not the backlinks that could be changed. But thank you for your reply
It took me 5 minutes to get off that site because it is an invasive survey laden mess. Additionally, most of the that stuff is designed to jack PI. CPAlead is a well known sham. That is makes people money, more noteworthy them, is of no consquence. So is robbing a bank but it does not make it right. You cant click the back button if the site keeps asking me to please not leave. That sort of thing makes me want to pitch my monitor out the window. Click the how fat are you button and let me know how it goes lol... Nigel
Like I said, I don't need any comments on how "right" my site is, but just some advice on the SEO. You could of easily done that without meeting a survey, or posting rude comments. Additionally, CPAlead is not a well known sham. They are a reputable company who have been in business for years and have probably paid out millions of dollars to their publishers.
Fair enough, you seem like a bright guy. I am sure you will figure it out sooner than later. Good luck Nigel
Be bold. Use the <b> </b> tags around some of your keywords on each page. Do NOT use them everywhere the keyword appears. Once or twice is plenty. Deep linking. Make sure you have links coming in to as many pages as possible. What does it tell a search engine when other web sites are linking to different pages on your site? That you obviously have lots of worthwhile content. What does it tell a search engine that all your links are coming in to the home page? That you have a shallow site of little value, or that your links were generated by automation rather than by the value of your site. Here is an example of deep linking, in this case to my personal happiness workbook. Become a foreigner. Canada and the UK have many directories for websites of companies based in those countries. Can you get a business address in one of those countries? Social bookmarking. Make it easy for your visitors to social bookmark your website, creating important links that the search engines value. There are plenty of free social bookmarking widgets available. We offer The Bookmarketer The BookMarketer Free bookmarketing power tool. Newsletters. Offer articles to ezine publishers that archive their ezines. The links stay live often for many years in their archives. First come, first served. If you must have image links in your navigation bar, include also text links. However, make sure the text links show up first in the source code, because search engine robots will follow the first link they find to any particular page. They won't follow additional links to the same page. You can see this in action at the link to the home page on this web site monitoring page Multiple domains. If you have several topics that could each support their own website, it might be worth having multiple domains. Why? First, search engines usually list only one page per domain for any given search, and you might warrant two. Second, directories usually accept only home pages, so you can get more directory listings this way. Why not a site dedicated to gumbo pudding pops? Article exchanges. You've heard of link exchanges, useless as they generally are. Article exchanges are like link exchanges, only much more useful. You publish someone else's article on the history of pudding pops with a link back to their site. They publish your article on the top ten pudding pop flavors in Viet Nam, with a link back to your site. You both have content. You both get high quality links. (More on high quality links in other tips.) Titles for links. Links can get titles, too. Not only does this help visually impaired surfers know where you are sending them, but some search engines figure this into their relevancy for a page. Not anchor text. Don't overdo the anchor text. You don't want all your inbound links looking the same, because that looks like automation - something Google frowns upon. Use your URL sometimes, your company name other times, "Gumbo Pudding Pop" occasionally, "Get gumbo pudding pops" as well, "Gumbo-flavored pudding pops" some other times, etc. Site map. A big site needs a site map, which should be linked to from every page on the site. This will help the search engine robots find every page with just two clicks. A small site needs a site map, too.

The most cautious (or paranoid) of you might have already started to wonder why I'm willing to share my views on the algorithm. After all, detailed information on the ranking methods used by different search engines can rarely be found on the web. Most search engines attempt to protect their secrets as well as they can, but occasionally someone spots a pattern and is able to "crack" the algorithm at least partially and is able to send his sites rocketing to the top. However, these persons don't usually share their secrets with others. Why should they? In these days, the Internet is not the hippie land of flowers and love anymore. If you know how to secure good positions in the search engines, your site will get hits. If you are able to get hits, you will be able to make a nice amount of money. You'd have to be a fool to tell anyone about your experiences with the algorithms of search engines, because if you did, you'd suddenly find out that someone used your own weapons against you and dropped your pages out of the top ten. So why the heck am I willing to give you some guidelines without charging you for it, like some of the other sites do? Well, general search engine optimization info is commonly available on several sites for free, but like I said, it is very difficult to find up-to-date information on the algorithms of specific engines. I'm kind of flattered with the thought of doing something fairly unique, offering information that very few others are willing to share. If my ideas about Google's algorithm are even remotely correct, I have achieved this goal, even while it probably means that I'll have to fight a more difficult battle to rank my pages highly at Google in the future as this information keeps spreading. On the other hand, if I'm wrong, I can always say that you got exactly what you paid for. In addition to the above, I have other reasons as well. Frankly, I'm sick and tired watching people spend tens or hundreds of dollars to buy books or subscriptions to web sites that promise to reveal all the ranking secrets you could imagine. Don't get me wrong, if the information is accurate, paying for it is a honest deal, but too often you notice that you paid for something you could have (or should have) been able to get for free. And what about those of us who just aren't able to pay? Throughout the history of the web, the search engine optimization game has become more and more difficult for the small guys as the Internet has grown and advanced. This article is my attempt to level the playing field a little. What makes me the expert on this subject? Who am I to stand up and paint myself as an authority? To tell you the truth, not much. I don't work for the search engines and I don't have any secret contacts at Google that would be willing to give me the details of the algo. But I have achieved Top 10 rankings on competitive 2-word keyphrases with around 500,000 returns, which isn't a bad achievement in my book, especially while some of these words are often targeted by those who do posess fairly strong knowledge about search engine optimization. In any case, I'm not attempting to say that I have the best or most detailed information about this subject. All I can offer is to share what I know and hope that it will be of use to you. OK, you've probably heard enough talk without any hard facts. Let us begin. Ranking high at Google - key number one While there are numerous things measured by the Google algorithm, one thing seems to outweigh every other aspect. I'm talking about listings in the Open Directory Project. Google seems to heavily favor sites and pages that are listed in there. At the very least, you will have to be able to get your root/index page into the ODP. Attempt to include your most important keywords in the title and in the description you submit to the ODP. Having these words in the name of the category you're submitting to or in the URL you submit are also things that might have a positive effect, but I am unsure whether they produce a significant benefit or not. After you have been able to squeeze your index page into the directory, try to do the same to as many of your subpages as you can. ODP's rules state that in most cases, they will only list one page per site, but I've seen plenty of sites that have at least five subpages listed. Be careful while doing this, because excessive submitting can in extreme cases result in all of your pages being dropped from ODP and your site banned for life. The minimum requirement is to make sure that each page has plenty of useful, unique content that is relevant to the category you are submitting to. It might also pay off to keep a brief "cooling off" period in between submissions. Never, ever even attempt to get all of the pages on your 200-page site into ODP. Again, include your most important keywords both in the title and the description you submit to the ODP. For example, if you sell cars in your online store called "Auto Shop", have a subpage about Ferrari Testarossa and you want it to rank highly for those words, the title and description you submit to ODP should be something like: Title: "Auto Shop's Ferrari Testarossa page" Description: "Read about the history of Ferrari Testarossa, learn about its driving characteristics, visit a gallery of pictures or buy the thing!" Got it? For each page, select one unique keyphrase, get it into the title and the description and submit. Choose the keyphrase carefully, because once you've submitted, it can be difficult to change the information you have entered. Repeat this process as many times as you dare, selecting content-rich pages from your site and submitting them into different categories. This is a case of greed versus fear - if you're too frightened to try, you'll never get anything. But if you let your greed push your brains into the background.. you'll lose everything you already had. Should you want to get further details on submitting your website to the ODP, simply read my article about the subject. if dis also doesnt helps u den tel me again.. at carttemplates.com
and those of us who aren't complete idiots will have realised you're copy and pasting stuff you haven't even read http://www.apromotionguide.com/google.html so no, "dis doesn't helps"
Is there a particular reason you had to plagiarize the same article of mine twice in the same thread? The original is at http://www.seo-writer.com/reprint/top-seo-tips.html and you will note that some of the sentences do not even make sense once the hyperlinks are removed. Plagiarizing without attribution should be a one-way ticket to Antarctica.
lol! i caught one guy posting one of my articles on his so called seo company site. i sent him an email saying that if he doesn't remove my article from his site within the next 48 hours, i will file complaint with all major search engines under DMCA. within few hours the stolen content was removed. in your case, you can report to mods and the user might get banned, but scums like this dont end up lasting long on their own anyways. atleast you know you have a FAN who likes your content so much that he cant help but repeating it word for word
