    Hi Everybody,

    I am a relatively new-comer in the online marketing field. I've researched a lot

    and have came to the conclusion that although lots of complicated

    techniques are discussed and used to optimize.

    The only tested and proven methods of internet marketing are

    1) Directory Submission
    2)Article & Blogs with your links at the end or in between
    3)Link Exchange
    4)PPC
    5)Bookmarking

    I would be grateful if someone points out if i m missing some useful technique

    till now i have used them for my sites and get positive results.

    but still i wonder if seo is that simple and limited to these few methods?

    PPC is not a SEO technique, and the other 4 are weak. My 2 cents.

    JessieJames27: Not sure what you are asking about (SEO or Interenet Marketing?).


    ssandecki: Do you mean the other 4 are weak in terms of SEO?Why?

    Directory Submission - These are weak non-relevant backlinks, directories unless tied to a "very" specific niche with relevant content are weak in terms of backlink value. Also, considering they have "tons" of outbound links it decreases the value even more.

    Article & Blogs - Internally linking to your own blog articles is mostly used to create proper internal linking structure and help indexing.

    Link Exchange - To even suggest this technique is silly, Google has already stated over use of link exchanges can be consider a link scheme. Plus, it again decreases the value of the inbound link. Relevant, quality one-way backlinks are the best way to go.

    PPC - This isn't even a SEO technique.

    Bookmarking - This method again provides low quality, low value backlinks. Considering most SBN use nofollow it really makes them irrelevant to SEO as a whole.

    2)Article & Blogs with your links at the end or in between
    3)Link Exchange
    4)Bookmarking

    If these 4 are weak then what is strong? here are other option is comment posting in do follow blogs and I know that content is a king but what is the others thing which we can do? can you explain your this line "and the other 4 are weak"

    1. Rich, Quality Unique Content (What else are people searching for?)

    2. Proper on-page optimization; including using HTML tag, attributes and elements properly. Proper web document formating and structure. Proper internal linking of web documents.

    3. Quality Backlinks; directly relevant quality links to your web page(s) at all different levels, meaning not just to your homepage. These will also come naturally by following #1. Backlinks should be about quality not quanitity.

    These aren't techiques, this is basic SEO. I laugh at SEO consultants who sell "ranking services". Look at Google's opinion.

    I want make one thing clear for a new site how anyone cud get quality links. Bcoz new site does not have anything to share. So every new site start with directory submission & article submission. Once it get some popular then it cud get quality links. And u can't ignore importance of directory submission & article directory submission.

    Rich, unique quality content sounds like something to share to me, or do you just build MFA\Advertising sites? You just don't know how to go about doing it, that why some of us get paid for web development and SEO services and some don't. ;)

    Please.... educate me then. :rolleyes:

    In my opinion, there are no "proven" techniques. There are unlimited ways to promote a site and you can look at SEO from any angle imaginable. What works for one site may not necessarily work for another. SEO is all about trying new things and analysing the results, and then do lots of what worked.

    I never claimed any such status, so lets not make this about ego some how. I'm simply trying to fight through the mis-information that plagues at lot of community support forums.

    The simple solution for new websites is basic internet marketing, you should already have in mind a plan to market your website prior to development, also considering organic traffic won't be strong at first that will also be your main source of visitors.

    Now, in theory only around 30-40% of your traffic at most should be organic, what if for unforseen reason your site gets de-ranked or lose it's position in search results? Your traffic will drop to nothing! I try to get a 33% divisonal ratio of my traffic.

    33.3% - Organic Traffic (google, yahoo, msn & ask.com)
    33.3% - PPC\CPM Traffic (adwords, etc)
    33.3% - Direct Traffic (bookmarks, type-ins, etc)

    Obviously a MFA site's only purpose is to generate revenue from AdSense clicks. Which probably means you "won't" be spending money on PPC\traffic so they'll be depending on organic traffic, which is traffic from search engines. The context I used it in was obviously took the wrong way and was direct to my quality unique content comment on how natural backlinks are built.

    I do agree with ssandecki but not completely..

    free directory links are weak but useful to generate high amount of FREE one way links.. also depends on the kind of dirs you are submittin to..

    article directory links cannot be considered weak. IMO!

    I know most social bookmarkin links are no follow but the ones that are do follow are not weak.

    Writing and publishing high quality original articles is by far the best seo technique ever..

    Onpage is also one of most imp part of SEO...

    Other way to generate high quality relevant links, which I think is one of the best, is reciprocal/threeway themed link building... these links carry good weight as far as I know...


    Please don't take this offensively. But I think you got confused.. he is talking about Internet Marketing Techniques and not SEO techniques..
    PPC definitely comes under internet marketing.

    Blog commenting and forum posting are the best in my opinion.
