Please help me out...! How to achieve a good SERP for tough and highly competitive keywords? Though I'm applying all the conventional methods but its not gaining upto my desired positions. For eg: when i started optimizing the keywords, it was in 1000 after 3 weeks it was in 100 again this week its moved out from 100 to 200 positions. In this way its keep fluctuating the positions. So kindly suggest me some good "White Hat" seo methods to optimize the keywords. Awaiting eagerly for your expert suggestions. Thanx in advance.
How old is your website??? It may still be sandboxed!!! Also how is it doing in yahoo and msn. Google is your main SE but focus on the other two big players as well
Using time on SERP in yahoo and MSN is usually a waste of time for most sites. Trust me, many of my sites rank between 1-5 in yahoo but still gives maybe 5% of the complete SE traffic. Google is just the SE to aim for when doing SERP if you ask me.
I totally agree but the more you can get your website out there the better, that's just a good marketing strategy, instead of focusing on one advertising stream, focus on 3 to 5.
My site http://www.webguru-india.com/ is 3 yrs old. Though my other keywords are ranked well in 3 SEs. Recently I've targeted for some tough ones to get ranked. Like "web design", "website design" etc... Right now I'm looking for good positions in Google first.
If you have a 3 yr old website I would look at doing an aggressive link building campaign for the keywords - anchor text is so important. You may want to look at rewriting content on your website to focus on these keywords - Content is key!!
Then try to get some strong links with the targeted keywords and make sure the targeted keywords is used on the pages you want promoted. Use H1 tags in headlines with the targeted keywords so mr G knows your site really is about the targeted keywords. That usually works for me. But targeting tough keywords takes times and effort.
Yeah, I'm doing the link exchange but in very selective manner. Along with this I'm adding fresh and quality content (keywords targeted) to my site. Hope you have reviewed the competition for my targeted keywords.
Is there any other good methods to optimize the positions firmly? I've already applied your mentioned methods. I would like to know some other method apart from the conventional methods.....
you may want to look at media advertising - what i mean is get some videos on youtube, metacafe etc about your website or service (depends what your market) and work on the keywords on them websites - it all helps
Thanx for the suggestion. As I haven't done any media advertising yet. Will you kindly help me out for this or will you kindly give me a guideline how to do a video optimization? I'll be obliged for your this act of kindness.
This is my resource page of my site. I've got other pages also. I always prefer quality link exchange.
just build qality of natural. Like write some articles and target the keyword phreses not ur exact keyword.
collect good links, reply each and every mail which asking you about link exchange, involve three-way link exchange, article posting, and if it possible do some PR (Press Release). put your link in targeting keyword website like software, web design, web development
