For the past 2 years my site has defied all SEO techniques

Discussion in 'Google' started by link_dev, Dec 16, 2007.

    One of my site has barely 9 incoming links (only 3 unique incoming links).
    All the sites that are linking to my site are not even remotely related and they are my other sites.

    My site slowly and progressively moved from no where to top 50==> to top 10 and for the past 2 years is entrenched at #3 on page one of google bringing me lots of free traffic.

    #1,#2 is occupied by my competitor which is owned by a very well known company and #3 is mine followed by other startup companies in the same segment who are spending millions of dollars.

    I spent about $9000 only on my site.

    My first page of the site has limited keywords describing exactly what it does and thats all.

    Don't buy expensive incoming links and be fooled by high page ranks.
    Don't loose the context of your site by excessive SEO techniques and anchor text.

    Hope this is helpful.

    If you don't engage in link building, why is your username link_dev (link developement I assume)?

    Then what do you think makes your site rank so well. Is it a very large site with hundreds of pages or listed on a few high ranking sites

    Do the sites you have linking to you have a PageRank? If not, you must have a really good title and some good keywords. What platform did you use to build your site?

    Just goes to show that quality content always wins out. Plus, if your other sites are well-favored in the eyes of Google, this went a big way towards helping the site you are now referring to move to position number 3.

    Anyway, congratulations on that. :)

    What is your URL and i will tell you why? I have sites with zero related links and the only links are coming from my own sites on the same IP yet the sites rank for some decent keywords.

    completely useless telling us all that with no information about the site, the keywords etc. What sort of response did you expect?

    I am definitely not telling the url and the keywords.

    The other sites that link to this site are my own and they are blogs.
    Only one of them have page rank 5.

    Again, there are no tricks and hacks. Meanigful text with only relevant keywords that suits my website.

    my username 'link_dev' has no significance, but i do sell links for my own sites.
    Also the PR dropped to 0 most recently.

    Hope you get the message.

    What exactly is this keyword?

    There are lots of posts on here of webmasters bragging about being top of the SERP's and then it turns out they are competing on something like "zenaphobia" and it all comes clear.
