Why You Got Penalized! Truth Hurts!

    I see alot of questions like how do i do this, how do i do that, how many
    links do i build, and honestly I am just floored that some of you people
    just dont read up on seo. If you just follow the basic rules of google, then
    you can move past google putting a bullet in your head.

    Your first and fatal mistake is jumping into link building before anything
    else, and i highly suspect, even while you are still working on your site,
    right? You think if you jump on it early, then you will be ahead of the
    game, however, in reality, you are just desperate; I get it, you put a
    site up, and you want to make money, and there is completely nothing
    wrong with that; I am sorry to say, this is not how google works anymore;
    Link building should always be your very last attempt to get traffic
    stimulated, and that is what link building does, if done right, it starts
    moving you up the ranks, then traffic starts coming too your site; It is
    a very slow process.

    What should i do first?

    1: Have a plan! Just because you want to get into adult or gaming does
    not mean you have a chance of hell ever making any money; If you have
    not researched your niches, then you have already failed! You will simply
    continue to waste money on seo/marketing, then next year let your
    site go in disappointment because you did not do your niche research. It
    does not matter what you "love" to do, if the niche is just to competitive,
    then it is what it is...There are resources out there if you just look for
    them that can help you find profitable niches, and you will have far
    greater chance in success if the niche has little competition. If you love
    news, and think you will have great success in setting up a content site
    full of random news, you end up with lots of random traffic from all over
    the world, which results in very low conversions.

    2: Keyword research is imperative for success! If you fail to do proper
    research, then youwill end up spending tons of money on seo/marketing
    going absolutely no-where. Lets say you are selling "computers" and
    you love the term "best buy" because you think it is cool, wrong! Unless
    you are a big player like Best Buy, then you will never rank, what-so-ever!
    Lets take the keyword "best buy" for example, lets look at some
    keyword data from Long tail pro:

    keyword: "best buy"
    metrics: 60

    1: Bestbuy.com
    keyword comp: 100
    PA: 91
    PL: 170k
    DA: 89

    In order to get on the first page of google, then you really would have
    to throw some serious link power, which means you need serious resources....

    What keyword should I look for?

    You should be looking for keywords that have:

    1: Metric score below 30
    2: High search volume
    3: Low competition

    and keywords must be related to your niche. If you are a farmer, and
    you are using keywords related to auto to rank your site, then you
    will get irrelevant traffic to your site, and traffic that is irrelevant will
    not convert, and this leads google to believe that people are not looking
    for what they are searching for, and this leads to penalty over time.
    Everything you do in seo/markting should be relevant to your site.

    I have somewhat jumped ahead, when i said earlier that link building should be last!

    3: Your next important give to man kind should be your website! Some
    people really do not care about the way their house looks, so they put
    up a fast as soon as possible, and get it out on the market as soon as
    they can; however, if you want to look like and authority site, then you
    need to look like one; You should have an attractive design, your design/
    layout should be clean, and the site should be well optimized for search
    engines ie: Wordpress

    a custom/professional design can cost you around $500-2000 and this
    can really depend on your custom needs; the more complex, then
    expect your cost to be on the higher side.

    Your website is your house, and your house should be 100% complete
    for you start wasting money on $5 links that will not take you anyway
    expect for down the ranks.

    Ok, your website has been completed, so your house has been built,
    and no one is home! Now what! Hopefully by now, you will have
    already researched your niche, you know what you want to write
    about (products, reviews, whatever) make sure your content is of
    high quality, your content should be easy to read, and is SEO friendly,
    which means when you setup yoru content, and post your content,
    then you work less when link building., in fact, I can share a couple
    links regarding seo and google penalties, read them, apply the tactics.

    How to get google trust:

    If you are a brand new site, dont be an idiot and try to get 1000 links
    per day, google is not stupid, and google knows by now that you are
    not famous, powerful or movie star...

    Your priority at this point is submitting the best content for your
    audience that you can possibly submit, and you keep submitting;
    You are not a media site, so you do not have to post 10 articles day,
    unless, you are just doing this to fill gaps in your site, and if this is
    the case, then fine, continue to submit articles until your site is fully populated.

    at this point, it maybe ok to obtain a backlink here and there, but do
    not over do your link buliding, this is where many people screw it up
    because of desperation.

    Most people work on their site for many hours, and months for they
    start seeing any real action going on, and there are exceptions to
    this rule; If your site is that convincing in design, and content that
    people just share your link at will, and this is how good your has to
    be! Everyone else should be doing natrual link building. The owner
    of the mentioned site said he never did he backlinking other then
    social media! I personally saw his site, and it was beyond belief
    awesome, and I really believe he is making $4k/mo and he claims he
    did in 4 months, which i believe also, because his site just looked
    awesome, design wise, and content also; some say poor design has
    no effect on conversions, wrong! For everyone else, it may take them
    1-5 years to acheive what he did in just 4 months.

    Quality matters!
    Quality works!

    How many backlinks do I need?

    Some say 5-10/month, however, it is not the number of backlinks
    you do. What is important is the quality of that backlink to your
    site. If you want google to see your site has spam, then get a lot
    of spammy bookmark links. If you want to take your site to the
    next level, then get links from Wikipedia, Huffington post, and high
    quality links within your niche, however, these type of links are going
    to be expensive, and you are desperate, so by tmorrow, you will be
    search fiverr once again, you will be looking for the lowest price, and
    the high return you can get from your spammy link builder...

    The reason people say you only need 5-10 backlinks per month are
    right, why? If you are targetting super links, then you do not need
    more then that; Stop trying to over-think the link building process.
    link buliding should only be used as a last resort, lets say you have
    25 articles posted, and your traffic has not started increasing yet,
    ok, I think it is safe to say you need to start some type of link building
    so you can stimulate traffic, however, do not stop posting content;
    you should always be doing one of two things:

    1: Updating existing content
    2: submitting new content

    The fastest way to get rid of google is to just stop updating/posting
    content. Google wants you to rank, but if you give up on your site,
    then you have nothing more to offer, so why should google keep
    hanging around your site? If you do have any rankings at this time,
    then they will start to slip; That does mean you have to post every
    day, every month. I have heard that people have not worked on their
    sites for months, and I guess this could be for several factors why
    google still continued to love them; I suspect the site had trust backlinks.

    If you choose the right niche, and the right keyword, then you most likely
    can rank that keyword with just a few high quality links; however, this does
    not imply it will be overnight, it could very well take weeks, or even months...
    but if you never want to rank, then continue to use those $5 gigs.

    Anchor/Link diversity is a must! Remember when all people did was
    use the exact same anchor/link and spam it across the universe?
    Dont be greedy, I know you want to blast your money keyword to
    the moon, however, that is not the answer, that is only the solution
    of how you will get a penalty. I once read from someone that claims
    he only uses his money keyword 1% in his anchor rotation, which
    means he is using more LSI, Generic, nake urls, and so on...If you want
    to know more, then I have posted two valuable seo links in this thread.
    Do yourself a favor, and educate yourself, as these gurus will teach you
    how to google proof your site against any current, past, and future
    animal attacks sent over by google....

    Did I miss anything?

    SEO Gurus may bullshit you until you die...
    if you ask me, then I will just tell you like it is...
    The truth...

    ps. sorry for the bad spelling.
    It is long past my bed time...

    End notes:

    1: Build your site right from the start.
    2: high grade content only, or dont bother at all.
    3: Educate yourself in property link building...
    4: Do not forget about onpage seo, it matters..
    (work smarter, not harder)

    Whats your deal?

    1: Long term building for long term success... or
    2: Short term building, small gains, then your out...

    If this had been an article:

    1,854 words

    How many words do I need?

    If you are just populating your site, then shoot for
    1000 word articles, and once your site has been fully
    populated, then start increasing your word count.

    You will never get high rankings with 500 word articles. This is
    why sites that have 5000 word articles rank very good; google
    absolutely wants you to out-do the person before you, and if your
    mission is not to exceed the next person, then you have no hope.
