Well, I've seen the general SEO guides and tricks people post here and there but since I own some micro-niche websites with only a few keywords to focus, some difference from general website's SEO to a small website may apply. Amount of content. People talk about amount of content to rank up, but how is it seen for a site with only a few articles. Like 6 articles and only 4 keywords to focus. How is the amount seen for in Google for such websites? And of course on-site is really important for micro-niche and smaller websites specially the domain name, URL of pages, content uniqueness and stuff like that. So what else could also be more important for such small websites, you're welcome to post your success stories with micro-niching and anything you did to achieve that.
I think with micro niche websites it is easy to rank with just a few backlinks from authoritative sites. So all your normal social sites but also maybe creating local directory listings. These sites are quick to post on and you can pad your keywords on the page. Just use a fake phone number and address if you gotta. I have done this to rank some area specific niches on nationwide searches, not places. Although I have never done it for just a niche site but I'd assume it would work pretty well.
How did you do that Local Directory Listing thing ? Can you give me an example ? ( Looks some good stuff )
The local directories like superpages, yellowbot, yahoo local, merchant circle, manta, insider pages... things like that. You just post like its a local business with a link to your website. Under services you put in your keywords. Done. The guy on the number 1 spot of local SEO has a local search engine submissions post that talks about all the sites out there. Around 50 or so.
Okay that looks good, I submitted one to Yahoo Local. Gonna make the rest soon. So this is basically for local country searches or global ?
