Can you pick apart my SEO strategy?

[lukedidit]

Hi All,

I am starting to try and come up with a set of steps for my SEO instead of doing a headless chicken as before. I am only a month in today, so excuse my noobness. I opened a hosting account on the 12th of december so very much green. I have quite a long techincal background though, which I am sure helped a lot.

Any feedback / input would be great, be as harsh as you like, I don't mind - I am here to learn.

One point - I am kind of on a shoestring budget, so until I see cash coming in I consider myself in the learning phase and so I can't spend to much on tools or monthly subscriptions, but if one or even two will make masses of difference then I can cash out. Basically I don't want to get intp chase get rich dreams, and instead focus on the task at hand.

So far I have bought scrapebox (3 private proxies) and I have a trial with the best spinner. I am now considering 'build my rank' or AMR.


Prepate Content

1 Write an Original Article Related to my Niche (350 to 600) words. Post my money site. using keyword in title / h1 / url
2 Best Spinner - Spin the article -20 times (manual spin with proof read / edit post spin)

Submit to Article Directories

3 ezinearticles.com
4 goarticles
5 amazines
6 articleblast
7 articlealley
8 buzzle
9 isnare

Create New Blogs and Web 2.0 Properties

11 wordpress
12 tumblr
13 livejournal
14 blogger
15 typepad.
16 squidoo.com

Indirect Links to the article sites (Anchor) Sites

16 scrapebox - 'Comment post' using main and sub keywords to each of the article submissions made that point to main site.

Social Bookmarking

17 Social Monkee 25 sites each day (rotating through the article submissions that point to main site)

Now I am considering one of the following additions:

Unique Article Wizard

Article Marketing Robot

(UAW and AMR will be fired at the anchor sites)

Build My Rank

(Will link direct to money site with anchored keywords)

Fiverr / Warrior services

Thx - but has anyone got any feedback beyond getting a sig backlink in?

I liked the plan of using 'Social Monkee'. Thanks, as I's thinking of an alternative of BDemon. Though SM wont work like it, but not bad also.

You have picked some good tools currently available on the market to promote your website which apparently is a newly launched portal but why are you just looking for finding more and more tools and mechanical ways to boost value of your site. Although submitting articles to directories might still send some visitors to your homepage, because some readers of your contents will attempt to click on your author links, but what about materials on your own site?

If you are going to spend time to prepare articles containing 350-600 words per copy, why offering them as freebies and gifts to directories and hoping that some links, which since the recent Google update, such votes from article directories have become almost too weak to have impacts on ranks. Why not updating your site with fresh materials which if you manage to promote them through social bookmarking sites, they can win some strong one-way links from other sites?

Very good point Bermuda - I should have mentioned the site itself. Here I do try to get lots of fresh content up and if anything is spun and submitted to article sites, then the original always goes to my site.

I want my site to get to at least the first or second page though so that content gets exposure.

sounds like a plan. I personally am also thinking of purchasing scrapebox. I really hope it will be worth the money.

It's worth 10 times or 100 times the money if you take the time to learn to use it. If you're just going spam blog comments, save your money.

Best tool on the market IMO, it does so much. I haven't sent out an automated comment in like a year. But if I had to, I'd pay $500 for the software tomorrow.

In a nutshell it looks ok, but I always say don't overthink SEO too much. All I do is setup my pages 100% with great ON-Page seo, and then I get some high quality backlinks coming in to my site by using BMR posts or along those lines.

Just do that and you will be fine.

Good plan. However personally I would go against the grain slightly and suggest that being too diversified is a backwards step not a forward one. You are relying very much on software because you could not physically do that amount of volume manually. I ditch the article spinners and the article marketing and concerntrate my efforts on your web 2.0 sites.

Drop the software for bookmarking and stick to just a maximum of the 10 biggest bookmarking accounts. In these accounts get involved more with your community (follow others, share info with them etc). Build authority in LinkedIN by joing groups, asking and anaswering questions etc. And then tie everything together with Facebook where all your activity from all aother accounts can be posted, and then tweeted using Twitter.

You can't go wrong with adding BMR or ALN to your SEO arsenal. Both services are similar, offering contextual backlinks (not in a signature block, which is common doing article marketing) in about 150-600 words of text. These services are very effective at the moment. BMR is higher quality, because of the human editing that takes place, but writing those 150 word snippets may get trouble some as you scale up. ALN accepts most everything.

Also, don't be afraid to hit your tier 1 properties harder. You can totally slam most web 2.0s, but there are a few, which may shut down your page if they detect unusual backlinking.

Good luck!

I recently found the Yoast SEO plugin. I had become set in my ways and kept using 'all in one seo', but on a new site I tried yoast......wow! It is a beast for optimizing on page SEO, I did not realise it was such a well built powerful tool.

Anyway, just wanted to say I added BMR - for a new site I am actually trying your method. A once a day post to BMR (which then indexs and posts to social sites) with strong on page SEO rich in my keywords.

Then slowly and surely (and strongly) climb the serps with no danger of getting G slapped back down.
