Hi Guys I have a news site, and Im trying to get to around 700K visits a month, however, I just can't seem to get to the first page for Google for the term "News". I know that if I get first page rankings that my traffic would increase exponentially. The site is riddled with a lot of issues, some of which are beyond my control as I have to go through a lot of red tape to get my changes implemented. Does anyone have SEO advice and tips specifically with optimising a news site??? You help will be greatly appreciated... Please feel free to PM me. Thanks Sadie
Well, it's going to be a hugely generic answer, but it's virtually impossible to come up with an argued piece of advice without knowing what exactly you are talking about. It seems like a highly competitive niche, so nothing easy can be expected. My best guess here is that frequent content updates are a big deal of what needs to be done by all means...
To get to the first page on Google for the phrase 'News' should be easy. Providing you have a budget of approx $500,000 and a lot of time Go for more realistic phrases to avoid dissapointment!
You must need to get back links for that.while submitting your site Use "News" as title.to get more you can use High Page Ranked Dofollow bookmarks also.you can also create blog and also can comment other blog related news.
Single word serp placement is ridiculously hard. If you want more visitors may I suggest that you target some more realistic goals such as 3 - 5 word combinations?
