I just can't get it right, what to do?

7 replies
I notice that when I write articles for the intention of supplying juice to my blog, even though all of those articles are linking to the blog, many of them out rank it pushing the blog deeper into the Google ranks. The more links I create pointing to my blog the further down my blog gets pushed.

My question is if this is the case, would it be smarter for me to simply write articles on different platforms and link them to each other? Am I just wasting my time trying to push fresh domains up the serps, when the articles I write just push them back down. I do have my own thought on this but would love some experienced advice if available. It would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I have gotten the blog onto Google page 1 for two great keywords but it just keeps falling back down to page 6 for both keywords and dancing there.

        Alexa, I do apologize if I seemed rude, I guess I was writing as you made your post, that may be the reason it seemed I disregarded your response. I think you have me figured out to the teeeeeee. I've been writing unique articles for my blog and different unique articles to the directories and they have been killing me with my own tools, stupid me.

        I think it was in fact your post that I have ever heard of placing articles on your own blog or site before giving them to the directories. For years I have always read that you should give them to the directories first and have not even once read anything about your method. I do understand that your correct. Thank you very much, will you marry me. lol

    I don't claim to be an expert. But I have a good idea for you I was looking around flippa.com and there are sites that are simular to yours but here are some tatics that may help:

    Extensive keyword research on your market look for some really long tailed keywords -to boost your overrall google ranking

    Traffic from ezine articles and an article on all the major keywords.

    By having articles on specific keywords you don't just have to rely on google to pust your domain up but your ezine articles will help.

    Keep on going...

    What you're doing is fine. This has happened many times for my main keywords and it's normal. Just dont expect over night results. Depending on the keyword and niche, I'll give it 3-4 month before you move to number 1 and out rank all the article directories.

    Kinda similar when you use hubpages, squidoo etc. They most of the time rank well early on but they slide moving the main site up.

    More backlinks / bookmarks etc. to your blog from sites with good PR is the only way to make it rank higher, not just the homepage but individual pages as well.

    There are some wise words by Alexa if you've not been submitting your articles your blog first then waiting until they have indexed, you should do this.

    Also, you should use an article distribution service if you haven't already, so that you get more backlinks from your articles instead of just the few top sites, make sure that the service/software you use has an article spinning facility, and put as many variations on as possible, so that you have almost totally unique content on every page. Also, submit your articles to hubpages and squidoo as well, and create some free blogging sites like on wordpress.com, blogger etc. and post them there as well.

    For link directory submission, i've not found better than directory maximizer though its not cheap for 1200+ sites (i'm not affiliated with them at all, just had good success with it)

    One thing to mention about dancing around on the results, this means you're probably pushing too hard and fast, and need to build up slowly over time, just keep on doing regular articles and it should go up gradually and stay there, unless there is huge competition.
