Your thoughts on a SEO strategy

Hey warriors,

For one of the websites, I have been using article marketing to some extent and I have combined it with social bookmarking and some quality authority backlinks. It has been working very well so far with over 10 first page rankings, but I am wondering about the extent I can use this strategy. The website has many pages and I have been using this strategy for a few pages so far, each with several weeks of gap (I didn't use article marketing for all pages altogether) and as I mentioned combining it with other backlink types. Each page is going to be optimized for one-three keywords, so I am thinking of using the same method for each page, but I am afraid at some point it crashes because of using the same method. On the other hand what I have heard so far in terms of penalty was more for high PR blog networks and not low value article marketing links, so I haven't heard people get penalized for article marketing. Does anyone have a similar experience? Thoughts on this strategy?

    You're doing good. Article marketing has always been a good technique for those who know how it can bring results. I am sure you are not submitting the same article to 100s of article sites, as this might help you in giving 100s of backlinks, but quality and ranking may left behind; far behind.

    One tip though: When you submit to social bookmarking sites, consider only quality and trafficked sites. There are thousands of SB sites out there but it's a good thing to only submit to authoritative and reputable sites.

    Good luck,

      Great tip! I should also mention using anchor text diversity when you create backlinks. Using other words like, click here, read more and even using your URL inside a anchor text is a great way to build backlinks

        Great tip right there. I may also add that don't just focus too much on article marketing and implement other link building strategies.

      Submitting in many social bookmarking sites is of no worth ? But we get approved link for our site when submitting in those SB websites.

      Why Google will not consider those websites ?

    When it comes to Social Bookmarks, like ArticleSubway said, only submit to High PR, Quality sites and make sure it is done manually. I know submitting to these sites manually takes a long time, but it is definitely worth it; and if it takes up too much of your time, you can always take advantage of my service in my sig below!

    Well, it this case what actually works and has worked is spinning and submitting an article to many article directories.

    I actually have heard of article marketing horror stories so beware of the content you are using and make sure it is original and high quality. Also if you are going to use article marketing, be sure that the content compels the person to want to click on you link by impressing them. Give them just enough info in the article to make them hungry for more

      That's what I want to know. Has anybody ever gotten penalized for article marketing? (meaning article spinning and mass submission. Obviously it is just mass crap backlinks and low value too)

    According to me, Keyword selection is very important and getting the right keywords could mean being immune from Panda or Pengiun.

    Few things which one should look out before selecting a keyword:

    Number search results come for the keyword in Google search.
    Number of Local searches or Global searches for the keyword from Google Adwords Keyword tool.
    Domain/Page Authority of Top 5 search results from SEO Moz tool : Opensiteexplorer.org.
    Competition score form Keyword tool.

    While you are clearly doing good, it would be more beneficial if you added diversity. Perform some social media optimization and some press releases. There are free high ranking press release websites you can take advantage of. When submitting articles, focus on directories that are high in authority since this will also increase traffic.

    Those who are able to apply an SEO strategy without the assistance of an SEO organization are those who know something about SEO. If you are just new to understand but have many concerns still be responded to, then you are probably not in the place to do all of your seo on your own.

    It is good strategy. It really works well as far as it is all about "contextual link building".

    However, Other than getting SB for your article posts, I would suggest to get other types of backlinks to your article posts as well as your site, like blog comments, forums posts and etc.

    Don't forget users when you are writing articles. Powerful backlinks often come from viral sharing. Interesting and compelling articles will surely bring you great links from different sources if you catch your reader's attention.

    Whats good is every time you add a new blog up on site to social bookmark them so they get indexed faster. Another great method is mixing up your links, and what i mean is don;t always focus on dofollow links, work on some nofollow and this way you don't seem hungry for 1st positioningon google. Another idea would be to get links you never gotten before, you must be good at writing correct? you can try guest posting articles to similar sites like your own, those links bring great value to your site and traffic. You can even search for .edu sites and wiki sites and add an article there too with your links. There is so much you can do.

    Hope this helps.
