I'm trying to achieve #1 here: search term: hearthstone deck list https://www.google.com/#q=hearthstone+deck+list I'm around #4 (Hearthstone Players) Depending on where you are searching from, I'm basically competing against Hearthpwn (part of the Curse Gaming Network, which includes MMO Champion, is a HUGE network) and a Reddit Thread. Is it almost impossible to beat them as a small team of 2 people? I think I might just settle for #2. But even that, beating Reddit might be a huge challenge…
Impossible is Nothing. You can took place in No #1. But you have to follow some guidelines and rules for that.
Yep. I think its very doable. I'm actually surprised you're not number 3 already, your off-page stats are better than the guy in the spot. I'm willing to bet it either has something to do with your on-page optimization or the anchors you're sending in. Take advantage of synonyms. If you wan't, hit me up on Skype (matt_apache) and I'll chat with you more about it. Cool game too btw.
Most Google Rank #1 services will ask you at least $100 for this. Because its hard game, you're competing with Google's algorithm and other site's SEO. Have you heard of seoclerks? I have purchased their services couple of times and they are cheap. Google Rank #1 services are well below $30 there
Yes it's completely doable. Just SEO optimize your website content so that the keywords are shown. Make sure that you use long tail keywords to optimize the CTR.
You ask both is it possible to be #1 and is it impossible. If I were to reply and leave, as that's only what you asked, my answers would be... Yes and No. But I'm assuming you are asking for suggestions and help as well? No? Yes? I'll assume yes. I could add a lot of information here, but you didn't ask much, so I'll leave you with this to think about... You have 712 inbound links. Hearthpwn 43,822. Your main keyword is "hearthstone players" while he at Hearthpwn don't even know how to spell keyword. LOL! Out of all those inbound links he has, 68% have no anchor text! Meaning just a link with the URL. Most of your URLS have a link back to your site with these as the link "hearthstone players". That's a good anchor text, but you also have to mix it up and that's where you have to find other keywords to use. Those links of yours are coming from about 76 websites while theirs is 265. Find about 200 of the same sites their links are coming from and see how you can get links from there too. Except if done right, yours will be anchored, not just an URL. You also need to create something, like an ebook, report or secret video they can have if they leave their name and email address. This way you can market to them. Don't abuse it. Each time your email autoresponder sends something out, give them a good tip or advice. Don't always be sending them stuff asking for them to buy. Give good info for free every now and then and they will stick around to buy later. Create an email capture on the 1st page above the fold for this. This is the same area your headline and/or keyword laced welcome text should be like I mentioned above. This is only a fraction of what you can do, but a good start. Aurelius P.S. "Here's another freebie... Open up a Google account and get on the 1st page with well thought out keywords and do a PPC campaign. Done right you can pick up some good traffic with the least amount of expense. While there, use their keyword search tool and find what keywords are being searched for the most each month. That way you can determine what keywords to go after." P.S.S "I'll get you my link where you can pay for these good ones, LOL!... but get 2 more domains... 1 for your forum and another for your blog. Both will generate buzz and get you more users and readers. Use the blog to talk about your site and product. Have people subscribe. Do a post about once a week. Don't make them too short or too long; just enough to get them some good info."
Hello I noticed - that your rank is number 3. those who are above you - have higher page rank, higher page authority and higher domain authority. All the 3 quality parameters are higher for them. I think doing things the right way with no short cuts, would take time. thanks harish bali
Totally do-able. A few PBN links and you are gold. Probably need only around $500 worth lol. #1 and #2 dont have the keyword in the title... so its easy
