What are your most successful SEO techniques?

[NickE83]

I would like to give something to the forum by sharing the most successful SEO and traffic building techniques and services that i have been using to get more traffic to my sites and make mo money.

If you would care to add any that work well for you, we can turn this into a great post, and give those newer to SEO a good resource.

So here they are, i have put them in the order of starting off with my most favourite, and moving down the list.

1. Linkvana - I have been a member of linkvana now for about 5 months, and I have to say this is the most fun way to get backlinks that I have found anywhere. What do I mean by fun? Well I mean, I don't have to do hardly any work.

The way in which I can simply open my dashboard, choose my keywords, select my URLs really impresses me.

This is not cheap, but for those already making a bit of money with their online marketing, and who want to increase their web traffic and rankings, this is possibly the best service.

From what I remember, there was a guy doing a discount for the first month of Linkvana, if its still up, maybe you can google it.

2. Bookmarking Demon - almost anyone in the IM game for any amount of time knows the power of social bookmarking for both backlinks and run off traffic. with the new version just being finished off, its a great way to automate the process. I use this tool on a regular basis and can safely say that its money well spent.

3. Article Power! - Another well known and timeless technique is the use of articles. I personally use a service called Unique Article Wizard, as it randomizes the text in my articles, and allows me to get unique content out on the web with multiple backlink anchor text, etc, pointing back to my sites. A very decent service for the investment.

4. Three way links - This is an oldie but a goodie, and although the quality of the links is not really any thing special, you can give your new sites a great kick off with around 250 links getting sent off intermittently as soon as you put your site in the system.

Thats about it really.

I mean there are other methods that I use on occasion, but those 4 really are the staple diet of all my SEO strategy, and now that i have been using them for a while, it has given me a nice systematic approach to my SEO, so i just set up a site, get the above 4 methods rolling for the site, and then move on to the next, all the while building profit.

So please, join in, and let us all know what your best SEO and traffic getting methods are, that is if your in the mood for sharing

Cheers!

Seems you have a lot of good techniques here but seems I am not doing any paid advertising / or not paying in any promotion, I haven't tried any of them... Might be in the future.. I bookmarked this thread.. thanks..

Hi NickE83,

That's a nice list of paid services, but maybe you should change the title of your post to "What are the most successful Link building services?"

When I think of SEO techniques a lot of things come to mind but your post was not what I would expect to find. I realize some folks view SEO as simply backlinks and nothing else, personally I consider this website promotion more than SEO techniques.

This would definitely fall within the realm of SEM but fits nicely into the subcategory of website promotion.

Personally, I consider keyword research a crucial first step in SEO techniques, but my best technique is to test page title and description tags inside AdWords campaigns to find winners before investing time and money in long term SEO campaigns.

What about using article marketing to get backlinks and, if you drop that article writing software and write the article yourself (or have it outsourced) maybe people would pick up the article and use it for content of their site.

If they play by the rules, you can have your resource box and links back to your site on multiple other websites!

Just something to think about...

Yup, dburk is right, I thought you were asking about SEO techniques back then.

Anyway, good list, but I personally prefer manual social bookmarking, articles submission, and press releases.

@biz online

Unique article wizard is an automated submission service that randomizes three articles into hundreds of unique variations, and not so much an "article writing software" this is why its so powerful.

@dburk and krishananda

You could be right, from my perpective though, SEO is optimizing your website to get higher search engine rankings (SERPS), which falls into 2 categories, either onpage seo, or offpage seo (link building) I guess this thread really should have been called :

What are your most successful Off Page SEO Services And Tools ?

But you get the gist...
