Hi there, In the past 2 months i have started working on the Keyword "Live football streaming" for my soccer blog ( http://www.streamlivesports.com). Now i m quiet familiar with basic Link building techniques such as comment spamming and submitting blog to directories. I kept applying those tricks and fortunately my SERP had increased from page 3 to Page 1, rank 8. After reaching rank 8 on page 1, I tired alot of submission and comment spamming buy My SERP weren;t increasing. So i planned to buy links and have 3 way Link exchange. I bought like 4 links from quality sites and had around 10 Link exchange in which I link those site from my Other Pr 3 blog, and those blogs Link in return link to streamlivesports.com. My ranking for quiet a time came to number 3, but once again i keep dropping to number 5 - number 8. Ever since then no matter what i Do i cant go above number 3 ( that also just for like 1 - 2 weeks ) on .com and .co.uk A friend of mine used similar tricks on his domain for a keyword which has more competition than the keyword i m working on and he got him self a permenant number 1. Now what M i doing wrong ? Why was he able to buy links from the same site that i bought and he gets a better ranking than me on a even more competitive keyword.. ? Please observe my mistakes and share them with me
If you are trageting for getting organic traffic from google, buying links can be negative or harmful if G knows this. I guess, google knows this and send your site to sandbox...Check that No not exactly, when i check with your given keyword, your site is in 6th position, not bad. But Dont buy links just build it naturally..
Maybe it is not the links that are holding you back. There are other factors that matter too of course. One thing that I quickly noticed was that your meta contains 32 keyword phrases. That is far too many - google recommends maximum of 8. You should really get rid of most of yours. Research which ones are best to focus on for the traffic you want and dump the rest. That isn't a magic bullet, but it should help.
I think your on site optimization is not done properly and also may be the links you are building are not relative so that my cause the issue.
So what are my mistakes.. could you help me recognize them please.. I will try that.. Any more suggestions ? Built it naturally as in I shouldn't use any of the link building tricks ?
In SEO, I found nothing better than getting backlinks from same niche websites/pages. Buying links is not good in the eyes of Google however if necessary then try to get links from relevant (topic related) websites/pages.
Mistake #1: Comment spamming is likely to piss off another webmaster and cause him to report your URL for spamming. Mistake #2: You can't compare your site and it's results with a friends. 2 people will not get the same results for different URLs. Mistake #3: Buying links Building links too fast is not good either. Your links should be a balanced attack of "no Follow", "do follow", comments, context links, and natural links from other websites. It should appear to be natural not manufactured. Some other possibilities is, competing sites also working hard on SEO or have better links..Slow load time. Linking to or from sites that are not quality sites, or have a bad reputation.
I see this happen to all my sites to, but in a week or something rankings will get back and probably higher
Well it is a dodgy backlink portfolio so don't expect Google to reward you for it, if it does it is a bonus, but there's a chance you will get penalized too. The over-optimization penalty is likely - where every backlink is from a low quality source and anchor text over-optimized to the keyword. Google sees it is unnatural and discounts it (sometimes punishes for it too). Also comment spamming is a huge risk in my opinion. A source told me that Google has access to comment blacklist data (such as from Akismet) and will count being on that blacklist against a website's overall trust score. So comment spamming can damage your rankings if you get put on a blacklist. That aside Google will throw rankings around hugely on new sites (sites under 1-2 years old seems to be new in Google's eyes these days) so don't get too worries about it.
#1 : Sorry but how is suppose to piss another webmasters.. ? I Just comment once on one blog, I dont keep bugging them. I barely go back to the same site to comment again. #2 : Ye you have a point.. #3 : And Please could you tell me why is buying back links a bad option ? And thanks for the suggestions.. love it.. During the week when you ranking is low, do you still build links, or just wait for it ? Hmm, Well i Heard that too, But the keyword I m working is currently on the ban list of Asmiket, So i cant comment any more. But honestly comment spamming helped me reach from 3rd page to First page. but Since comment spamming isn;t working anymore, All i do is do link exchanges, my ranking increases for a While, but again drops back.. So what can you advice me to keep it maintained.. ?
