Outranking eHow and wikiHow?

ezzypro · 12-31-2011, 11:49 AM

It seems that for every "how to ________" keyword, eHow or wikiHow take the top positions in the SERPs.

Anyone have any luck outranking "how to" sites like these?

It's really not too tough. (Most of the time.) Usually when I see these types of links it tells me that Google doesn't have much else to display. The same can be said for shopping links.

Good on-page SEO and backlinks should be able to outrank them. (Unless they've got a ton of backlinks themselves.)

The last time I did research for a keyword that ehow was targeting, I found about 100 ehow pages in supplemental SERPs. Apparently Google thinks that ehow isn't being very unique with their content/pages.

Just saying...

Now I have some great new keywords to target!

As long as you can show/fake some authority those sites are not too tough to outrank. I usually dont have a prob with that. It does bring to mind an interesting post about how to outrank those sites, made by Eli over at blue... I can't post a link but if you search for it over there u probly find it. One of the tips he gives is to go into the wikipedia article that outranks you and remove some of the outbound links as spam. When the site that loses the link from them notices they will likely pull any links they have to the article, thus decreasing its authority some. There's more to it but that is a prt of it. Anyway, just rambling now...

I've done it plenty of times, it depends what niche/keyword you are talking about. If any other sites outrank it and the number of high PR authority links you can obtain.
