SEO: The Last Mile

[maxrezn]

I'm currently working on ranking 2 one month old websites for keywords with about 20,000 monthly searches. I'm almost approaching first page status.

What have you guys done in the past successfully to give your websites the final push to #1,2,3?

Here's what I do so far:

Article Submission: Go Articles, Ezine, etc
10 BMR Posts
Fiverr Linkwheels (Highly recommended)

Usually it is the BMR posts that pushes to the last mile. However, I have been refining my approach and doing article submission to sites such as ALN and Traffic Kahuna. When I was stuck, I would usually push more links to my linkwheel. However, I don't really do linkwheels anymore cuz they are time consuming and now I am working on too many sites at once to do them.

One thing that all my sites that are 1st or 2nd in the SERPs have in common is that they all have at least 50 BMR posts. It really works but you just gotta keep at it.

And you speak of Fiverr linkwheels, are they linkwheels using blog commenting or mass article submission?

Actually web 2.0 properties. Do you submit manually?

Depends on the competition. But if it's really tough, or even moderately tough you're either going to need to get a bunch of high PR blog comments, or buy some links, or so some guest posting, or link baiting, etc.

BMR is great, but the high PR link falls off after a bit. There are services that don't do that. They keep you link on the high PR page. Anyway, if it's a relatively easy keyword, doing what your doing will probably get you there.

Also, don't overlook the importance of adding content to your site and having a proper internal linking structure.

All of it helps.

Have you checked your onsite internal links?

Particularly, if you have an ancillary high pagerank article somewhere. Then, go and improve that article, and use it to feed linkjuice out to other articles in your website -- via inserting internal links in the paragraphs.

I would keep doing more of this. Commit to writing new posts each and every day. Even it it's only 2 posts. That will be 60 posts in a months time.

Watch your site start climbing when you do this. It works great.

Great thanks for all the tips.

20000 is exact or search with phrase? Try to flow top 3 sites which are on top and get all backinks from it..

BMR works great but 10 posts isn't enough for any push.

It's not hard to write two or three 150 word articles a day.

It's DEFINITELY not hard to hop on Fiverr and order gigs for 3-5 BMR 100% approved articles instead of those garbage link-wheel gigs.

I used UAW to submit manually to article directories. I use the linkwheel to hit Wordpress/Ezine/Go Articles/Blogetery sites.

However, now that I am working on 10 sites at a time, I'm trying to figure out a good gig to automate it all. A lot of the linkwheels I see on Fiverr are comment blasters who will blast thousands of spam comments to your web 2.0 sites. I didn't want that.

I do submit content to EZA, AB and Sooper Articles. I follow them for unbiased reason of the incomparable quality backlinks and also posting on weebly, squidoo and hubpages etc.

High PR backlinks from relevant TLD domains. Works everytime. You might have to spend a few bucks on a link network but most of the time its totally worth it.

Since your selected niche is not competitive and in fact is very light from some aspects, and your ranking improvements have been great so far, it is logical to assume by doing the tasks you have been doing so far, gathering some links and at the same time posting some good contents on your site, you will move up the ladder of ranks eventually but keep this essential point in mind that ranking improvements on first pages of Google will definitely happen very slowly.

It might be quite an easy task, jumping from 75th position to the 24th spot through gathering even a few good links but moving up from 10th position to the 8th spot will take some time, like weeks of constant work and there is a logic behind such events. You know, the first top ten domains in every niche appearing on Google, have gained trust of Google for a long time, possibly some of them have been online for many years and your site too needs to get promoted for a long time.
