Stop keyword research and backlinks and give some real values!

BenoitT · 03-26-2011, 08:38 PM

Hey guys,

I just want to share something with you guys. Just like anybody here, I've try so many SEO tactics and I have to admit they work. However, the best SEO tactic I have ever did is NO BACKLINKS BUILDING.

The purpose of every business is to solve a problem for someone and get paid in return. If you get backlinks, maybe you'll get faster traffic but you are shooting yourself in the foot.

If you read the book The Millionaire Mindset, you know the typical error everybody are doing when they build a business: They focus on the result they want (AKA money) instead of the root of the problem they want to solve.

My point is: all your effort should be toward solving the problems of your customers. You will tell me if you don't have traffic, you can't help them. Well, you're right that and let me explain you.

Keyword research and backlinks are focusing on twisting Google to get fast result. What if you focus on helping your customers? If you want an idea to post on your blog, you can go on forums and chat with people inside your niche.

Just a real quick tip for people that don't like to write. I've found I can write 1000 words so easily if I talk with someone and have something tangible. I just can't write without purpose. If you have problems writing articles, abusing this little tip can help you.

Let's go back to the topic: don't focus on the money. What you can do to get traffic is Guest Post inside other websites. Have you ever tried that? How is it successful and how are you finding your partners?

It is a very good idea to network inside your niche. I've read somewhere you should know at least 10 other website's owner and keep a good relationship with them.

My question to you guys is: how do you network inside your niche? Are you using forums and PM? Are you contacting them by e-mail? Or you just don't get potential partners?

My SEO has proven more fruitful than the "content is king" spiel.

Agree.

If content ever was king, it's been dethroned by SEO.

I think you miss a big point in my post. When I talk about values, I don't talk about content is king. The most important task in your business is NETWORKING. This will give a huge value to your website because you'll be able to give awesome stuff with guys you know. You know stuff like Frank Kern and Jeff Walker, they could provide an awesome value to your customers if you're inside IM niche. Maybe you think they are just too big for you and you go for smaller partners, but the point is still you need them to succeed.

What SEO tactics are you using guys?

Networking hasn't much of anything to do with my niches.

SEO > Content

Easy to say when you are selling backlinks

. If networking hasn't to do with your niche, you're in a niche where nobody wants to talk with nobody what the hell?

Adsense and CPA are what I do in IM, outside of my SEO and consulting.

If it helps, I refuse to buy a single WSO because they're all so hyped. I get enough hype already every time I turn on the TV or radio or view a website.

I'm not saying I won't ever buy a WSO, or that WSO's are bad. I personally think the majority are probably stellar.

What I am saying is show me you know what you're talking about, and maybe I'll subscribe to your list or click your ad.

In other words, your amazing SEO may get me to your site, but my time on page is going to be less than 2 seconds if you can't keep me there.

Content FTW.
