I want to request SEO gurus to contribute on this thread by giving tips in the reply. Atleast one tip per post would be good. looking forward to your contributions...
Think big. Trying to rank for a keyword that makes money is not possible if your budget is less than a few thousand. Also you need to be linkbaiting.
Mix up your marketing techniques, not only will this provide a larger source of traffic, but you're also not putting all of your eggs in one basket.
Make the site thinking of your visitors, not the search engine. If other people like your site, you have better chances of getting links (which improves google ranking). Don't cloak...!! Don't show different content to visitor and seach engines. Be natural. Do not over stuff your keywords in one page, rather optimize a page for 2 (max 3) keywords. "Content is the King", put good targeted content on your website, if you can write articles, submit them to articles directories (gives you one way links).. and much more....!!
Slow down. Why the big hurry? Any long lasting 'success' is probably going to take a lot of hard work and time.
Colaborate as an expert (if you have a site, you are soposed to be) with already established forums about your keywords. This can give you lots of links with the signature (and this likes to search engines) and give good reputation between people interested in your web (and this is good traffic).
use alt tags for all images and change some thing or links and make site look fresh , mainly freash content rank well in MSN.
This may help 1. Hire good article writer and make them write 1 article/day 2. updated your site with those articles everyday. 3. If your site use blog, ping others site to let them know you're updated. 4. submit your article to many article directories, if useful and unique then submit to wikipedia too. 5. Give contribute to big webmaster forums (like here) to make people awareness of your site. 6. remember, quality is greater than quantity. Hope this help
Consider your outgoing links. Who are you linking too? Linking to low quality sites with poor linking strategies (ie. lots of recip links to other low quality sites) will deminish the authority of your site. Link to other authority sites in your niche.
I am not in a hurry? You know using best practices of SEO you can list quicker don't you think that? Thats why I said as quickly as possible, it doesn't mean in a week or month. I know it takes time around 3-6 months i guess, what do you think. keep sending your itps
Create link pages that are link pages. Make them look like written paragraphs, with links inside the body of the paragraphs. Having your standard links pages just invites the search engines to see crap pages. Example of Bad: Great SEO Anchor Title This is content that is usually gibberish and is completely shite. Please click my seo link above so that I may sell you on crap. Example of Good: This is content that is usually gibberish and is completely shite. Please click my seo link above so that I may sell you on crap. But forums like DP and threads like these really help my with getting great SEO anchor title and with forums like the link sales and link exchange, I'm sure I'll be rankings in no time at all. In the end it's up to you, but I can see how these "link pages" are going to get more and more devalued as the search engines CONTINUALLY pick up on the standard form of link pages. PS - And don't label you link pages, link-page.htm. C'mon. Here are some other words to use: - Associates - Friends - Colleagues - Partners - Resources - Sponsors I could go on...be creative.
Always be adding and creating quality content. If possible, create a community type of an atmosphere that encourages others to contribute to you site.
Start low : aim first at the less searched but more targeted kw and then move forword to the big ones of your market ; lots of tests - this gives you the best feedback regarding SE .
