Page 5 out of 1.5 million results after 4 days...
- SEO |
I wanted to share a little story... to some it may not seem a big deal... to others it may seem the turning point in your online journey...
Four days ago I was messing around with the adwords keyword tool whilst eating my cereal... I found a nice keyword term that gets around 70,000+ searches a month and after checking out the competition I thought there was a slim chance I could rank well for the keyword. (the TOP three competition are authority sites like about.com so i'll need to work extremely hard to outrank them!)
Now, the thing is, I don't have any time to build another linking campaign to this site... I just registered the exact keyword.com domain name, installed wordpress and configured a static homepage.
I wrote a 600+ word article optimized for the main keyword and installed "All In One SEO" and optimized that as well.
I installed "XML Sitemaps" plugin and changed my permalink structure to "sitename.com/postname"
I also wrote five 300-400 word articles on other popular topics around my main keyword.
Once my site was indexed, I simply left a comment on three blogs in my niche with anchor text being my main keyword.
I then took three of the five articles I wrote and put them on Goarticles with the anchor text in my bio containing my keyword.
That's it. Four days later and I'm on page 5 out of 1.5 million results for a keyword that is searched over 70,000 times a month.
Although I didn't have time to dedicate to this site I am going to sure as hell find some and get more backlinks with a view to getting up to page one in a month or so.
You see, sometimes people overcomplicate this SEO business. You see questions like "My site is no where to be seen" or "I'm on page 20 after 6 months" type things.
Well, there is proof that all you need to do is;
1. Find a keyword that gets 50,000+ searches a month.
2. Regsiter the EXACT keyword phrase as a domain (.com is possible)
3. Set up your wordpress blog and optimized a static homepage for that keyword.
4. Add "All In One SEO", "XML Sitemaps" and change your permalinks structure.
4. Add a few more articles to beef up your site.
5. Get as many links back as you can.
It really is simple.
If you do this and don't see a climb in your rankings them it's obvious Big G fnds something about your site that is not relevant to the keyword.
Hope that helps at least someone... back to getting more links for this site it is!
