Hi, After some reading in this forum, I'm was trying to work out my own, but... not really success The competition is not that much, just 200k+ ("keyword" and keyword) I create a lense in squidoo, hub, and submitted article to a few websites. I also make some ping, and bookmark. After 2 days, I go to this website http://www.mikes-marketing-tools.com/ranking-reports/ to check my page with the keyword :| all 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 You guys have any comments? Give me something to do on this SEO Kindly solve my mysteries below 1. I've seen some directory submission tool, if I use it and submit my subpage, will it works? Or directory is just for main domain? 2. Lots of you talking about the backlink. Backlink from high pagerank definitely help, what about backlink from pagerank 0? Or non-related website? 3. Some says google will skip the duplicate content. If i use a same article and submit to different website, do I consider getting a backlink? 4. When you guys say competition is 200k+, do you search google by "keyword" or keyword?
