Recipe for Success

    Just this morning I found out that I'm #9 on the first page of a pretty competitive niche.

    I basically used nothing but sig links from SEO forums - but also from relevant forums as well. Throw in one article - but I kept adding pages to my site. Although not much, the site has ten pages - but is optimized very well.

    What success have you guys had lately and how did you do it?

    I'm currently #5 for a term with 43 million competitors and about 40k monthly searches, the average conversion rate is 3% and the average sale is $100.

    I've used a combination of article marketing, social bookmarks, forum postings, profile links, video and podcasts.

    I've spent about 4 hours a day on SEO since the inception of my new company.

    @bigcat1967,
    Did your niche have to do with SEO or do SEO forums provide a benefit to rankings when you put a signature link there instead of other forums?

    @MarkAse,
    What's the ratio of the how much time you put into each- article marketing, social bookmarks, etc.?

    I rely on forum posting and directory submission for increasing search engine ranking.

    I have similar strategies, I either focus on mostly content or create a boat load of links. Ether one seems to work well.

    Nice work! I find that consistency is the key to being successful online. I myself have gotten on the first page for multiple keywords for my websites :).

    I agree with tjsocr22. Also, consistent links from high PR sites works like a charm. 1 PR10 is worth more than 1000 PR0. That's how it works for me, and is pretty much obvious too lol...

    I own the term affordable seo on most search engines, gets about 50,000 searches. I did that with pure on site seo and 0 backlinks(have a few now) as an experiment when I changed domain names. I dropped a spot or 2 recently as I am changing my focus to seo services.

    what are you basing that on? According to Google's adwords keyword tool it gets 9.900 monthly global search volume as an exact match.

    I think the secret behind success is determination :) If you are determined and goal-oriented enough, you will eventually make it.
