Hai guiz. I've read tons of threads, watched youtube videos, and skimmed through e-books. I still have a few very noob questions that I haven't picked up on yet. I own a small Hemp Jewelry company. I've began targeting the keyword "hemp bracelets" but the dominant keyword used on-page is "Hemp Bracelet".. sure I could use that, but that's where I'm having trouble.. how can I create anchor texts using a singular word when the plural word is the only thing that makes sense in context.. :S also, do backlinks not always appear in directories? I've used Market Samurai, ahrefs, checkbacklinks, and a few service I bought. All but 1 of them (ahref) tells me I have backlinks.. but only 21... I've had my business for 2 years steady.. Hopefully I haven't been doing things wrong the whole time
do you have a analytics account ? check in analytics for "links to your site . also if you are backlinking to sites that do not get crawled often your links might never show up . you can ping sites after you backlink to get google to crawl the backlinked sites . does not always work but sometimes is affective .just dont ping all at once .
Why don't go the latest techniques since the seo is changing every day. My suggestion, go for the social bookmarking, You definitely get backlinks and traffic and of course targeting the required keyword. Directories are not working according to latest seo techniques, I mean of no value. If u can go for link earning rather than link building..
Check out your competitors site what anchor text they are using,as far as directories are concerned,they have become less significance nowadays. Instead of general directory submission, I suggest you to write articles,submit to article directories. Create a blog in your site and update it in frequent intervals,that will be much more beneficial. Best of Luck for Seo.
There's nothing wrong using "hemp bracelets" as anchor text. That is a variation of the keyword you're targeting on your page anyway. What matters is that the page you're linking to in your anchor text are related. Most of the time, backlinks need to be indexed before they show up in your search results. The key is to continuously build backlinks because not all of them will be counted towards your site. They would, eventually, but not right away. Hope that helps. Have a good day!
just leave all that services you are following...now seo has chagned more than a thinks we have....Google is changing the seo world very fastly....change ur strategy and try do something new, SMO is a very good way to do so...and do some social bookmarking for your keyword it will help you a lot...here are some social bookmarking site: manningeliott.com ontattoosamui.com theimpel.com mannignelliott.com markyourcorp.in fasia.fm.gy sure it will help you a lot:
1) Google for "hemp bracelet" and you'll find tons of ways to use singular in context. If only plural makes sense, the dominate anchor text should be plural and its variations. 2) A few quality links will make a huge difference. Back-link counts alone won't tell the whole story. 3) Jewelry is a category that's easy to get many low quality links, but hard to get strong links.
Thank you guys so much for the replies! I appreciate it so much. Currently I'm on Page 6 on Etsy and page 11 with my own hosting with the same keyword.. I'm having trouble deciding whether to continue with Etsy, or use my own domain and hosting. My Etsy has more SEO done to it, but they don't allow nameservers and have very limited SEO capabilities.. (I could be wrong?) How important is the "Index Count" and "BLD"? I'm using Market Samurai to look at my numbers. Once again, I appreciate it so much. Great replies. I made this same thread in other forums, and this was the only one to get replies
the correct answer is = USE them ALL. index page for main keyword that you will focus on over "hemp products" page2. "hemp bracelets" page3 "hemp (other products)" deeper level folder articles on your site: everything you ever wanted to know about hemp, the history of hemp, the statistics on hemp growth, hemp sales, hemp manufacturing. Endless articles. use links within them back to your other pages (Example: hemp has been used for centuries to manufacture low cost products such as hemp bracelets (link to your hemp bracelets page) ....then send arrticles onto the Internet. Nobody cares to read about hemp bracelets BUT there's a culture revolved around hemp ..if you sell anything related top hemp you should be making articles about people busted for growing hemp, a forum for people that are hemp growers and even marijuana ..and link llike crazy to your keywords (limit one keyword per article ..FOCUS on that keyword only wiithout tyring to make tons of links out of words. squeezing more than one in will do you no good as it takes away from the relevance of the keyword. Hemp should be an easy SEO since they're are so many peoples into the culture of that. Use your hemp bracelets to sell them 40% off ONLY exclusively through a website/magazine related to hemp. Get the link on their site and the visitors. Since your market is different it has a culture/group/lifestyle of peoples you should focus more on those rather than raw SEO since the roads for you are already laid.
