Good Ranking Guide Plz

3 replies
If a business owner wanted me to take his site to the top of Google (locally), in light of all the Panda-Penguin-Perplexities, is there a good guide that will tell me how to.

Hopefully of the non-WSO variety :-)

    No Offense i would stick to copywriting. You dont want to get the business to the top, then have to worry about a Google update knocking them back down the rankings. You dont want to be a jack of all trades, master of none.

    Either way, i would optimise their Google places page. Google how to do that if you unaware.

    I would get highly quality editorial/guest post links (not a network). Mixing up the anchor text. If you are going after local terms it shoudn't take more than 10 to establish good rankings for a couple of KW's depending on the competition.

    Try to get the guest posts on sites with PR3+ with a domain authority of 30+.

    Even if there is a perfect guide that helped you get that site to the top of Google TODAY, the same guide will most probably not work one or two years from now.

    I think that days of "building backlinks yourself" will eventually be history and I do hope that happens soon for the sake of a better Internet.

    Instead of wasting time, energy and resources on building backlinks that you have no control over and that may get devalued at any time, I think one should start thinking on REAL startegies for marketing a business by having a social/mobile side of that business, by connecting with as much customers as possible in a personal level, by advertising the business on as much available media (online/offline) as possible, contacting related website owners to write about this business on their niche blogs/websites and give links to them...

    There are many many things that can be done to promote a business one of which maverick suggested (actually a great suggestion) but the off-page SEO as we know it is losing blood fast and will most probably be totally ineffective in a couple of years.
