Dear Friends at Warrior Forum,
I just created a testing wordpress blog and created say 5 post on it and then did a few link building with tiered link building concept and i got results like this screenshot as follows:



So this post to clear few doubts:
1. Tiered link building still works.
2. Web 2.0 blogs still works fine.
3. Even I ranked a EMD sub domain too
4. Link building and SEO still works...

Compeition was medium on this keyword too so not low competition...

My ranks got up from nearby 400 to 25 in just 2-3 weeks time only...

I just shared this live screenshot of yesterday time itself due to time zone difference otherwise screenshot was taken just few hours back

My this post is dedicated to them whoever have had any animal update and are scared that link building or SEO is dead now.. No its not dead just you need to be smarter dont pust 1000s of links direct to your main site or site which you want to rank

Hope this will encourage many of my friends at Warrior Forum too...
Have my best respect...

      Fast but not safe,backlinks will always work until the next Penguin update,you can have the same results just adding high quality content to your blog.

      After penguin 3.0 could you update this thread ?

        Ok. Go rank for "health insurance" by doing nothing but "adding high quality content to your blog". Let us know how that works out for you.

          It's not very difficult to rank high in Google search for low competition long tail keywords. But, as you suggested, intensely competitive keywords (such as 'health insurance') would be nearly impossible to rank high for, with just content alone. However, the quality of backlinks is still most important. Mass backlinks from irrelevant or low value sites will almost always get you penalized.

            Yes my vote goes to something similar Tiered link building. Personally my vote goes to "Money Robot Submitter" for the same... a new but really great software to work with.

            Yup, relevant and quality of links matters...
            Well said... Mass backlink to moeny site directly mean spam death of that site nowadays...

    Even old straight forward link wheels are still working. Nowadays no need to release new Algo updates/filters. Just give a fake announcement in Matt's blog that google is unfolding a new update within next 1 week or so. Bang! Folks will start claiming they are experiencing rank loss. Some will start claiming web 2.0s are now dead article directories are now dead blah bla bla. And here in WF we will start seeing threads like "SEO is dead, now What??"

    In internet marketing links are most important thing, which is help connect other network and passed link juice to previous network. So, how could be possible SEO is dead. Optimization and marketing over search engine are made for each other and never fails. They weave always links back.

      Good luck thinking that links are most important,forget about the content,website user friendly,forget everything right ?

      Links will pass link juice,link juice will make your page get PageRank,and that is all !!!

        Yes, SEO is more technical task now days are gone when you blast 100000 links and boom you get rank. I did this with just SEO software used and thats it... Even only created a few links only on tier1 to not to have too many spammy links

        Sorry, but unique article if spun properly still work in my view... Say you want to submit to 60 web 2.0 blogs then I dont think its practically possible to have 60 hand written articles for them... But spun shall be good quality...

        I agree quality content is ++++ but without good amount of quality backlinks even quality content itself cannot do anything good atleast in high competition keywords.

    Yes, SEO (link building) is NOT dead! You need to be persistent in link building and not get discouraged if you don't see the good result in the SEO game.

    If you are lazy in the link building effort, you can hire someone do it for yours.

      Unfortunately there is some truth to that point of view.

      The talented and experienced still have the upper hand and many have evolved, but for the guy that was caught on the bottom of the food chain it's a tough, cold world in link-based SEO.

      There's still plenty of things out there that work however. It's just a matter of finding or affording them.

      Fortunately it almost forces new marketers to build a real 'tool set' for marketing and learn things like conversion optimization and some copywriting early on in their career.

      That's only a good thing in my point of view because many 'marketers' had really just become professional link builders with very few other marketing assets to use.

      I particularly feel with that scenario because it was a weakness of mine that I have had to work diligently to improve upon.

    I really don't care for anything but top 10 positions. You are also talking about nothing but one site. I am definitely not saying backlinking does not help. I have seen on MANY sites, that it does, but position #25 on a random keyword tells you nothing.

        It is the competition of SERP top 10 which matters more than searches per month to have harder to rank or not ....and there shall be no surprise to the same.

        As said its a medium competition keyword. Sorry the thread have nothing to sell. It is created with a motive to help others to ensure SEO still works..

        Or if anybody interested in how i did it then too most welcome... thats it...

          ok. lets both compete for nothing and see how much that is worth.

          being on page 2 for a word that gets 20 mil searches a month is not the same as being on page 2 for a word that gets 500 searches a month.

          I'm saying you might be shooting up in rank so fast because there is nothing really to gain unless you are in those top few spots. G knows this.

            Why not you made a case study similar to motivate others and make 20 million search page 1 or say top 3 would be very nice... Very soon once the site is top ranked in top 3 I will show may be my traffic / earnings too why not...

            This thread is made with a motive of passing positive energy that link building and SEO both still works and dont get in nervous that things are dying in seo now...

            Thats it... Have my full respect being a friend in Warrior forum

      In my view private high pr personal blog network required only when you need to make any high competition keyword fight

      For this medium competition keyword I used tiered link building using Money Robot software

      Web 2.0 on tier1 and then rest kind of links on tier2... Wait for 2 weeks and results are with me.. I am just waiting to finish tier 2 and I believe it will end up with good results may be top 3

      This is not the first time i worked with tiered link building so quite sure that it must end up with some good results

          Yes I use Money Robot, MS, SenukeX etc... It does not mean I am affiliated with all of them... I can see that Money Robot is having a decent amount of success rate as well as a good list of web 2.0 sites in it. Which is what helped me at Tier1 to get this thing done to page 1 in 2-3 weeks.

          In the past I have even written many posts about MS too, it donot mean I am affiliated with them... too... Rest in my test run i got more than 40+ web 2.0 backlinks as that time number of web 2.0 sites were less so in total i made 80 tier 1 links of web 2.0 by running 2 tasks of web 2.0 that time using Money Robot Submitter.

          It may be your internet explorer problem as Money Robot so far i know require Internet Explorer to run as they dont work with sockets so far i know... Better you talk to their support team if you have any issues with them. Sorry but this is not a Money Robot support forum thread.

    Hi,

    All that the original post proves is that Google indexed your site. Google always favors new sites. It's referred to as a Google Honeymoon.

    Glad to see you've learned about it. This has nothing what so ever to do with proof that tiered link building still works. Though I know tiered linking works and works well, this post just doesn't prove anything.

      Dear friend,
      I will have screenshot shared of ranking after 1 month too no issue, as i know what tiered link building plan i used it so we just let wait for 1 month and to confirm Honeymoon period is over or so As Honeymoon is not new name for me too... and that is not in this case as keyword ranked after indexed 14-15 days...

        That does not answer my question.

        When I get a photo of Kim Kardashian bending over for me, I will surely post it too. But until then I won't post anything. Or even share my thoughts about it. I definitely wouldn't make a case study type thread about it.

    SEO won't die. What you need to focus on when building links is longevity and quality. You need links to chase you. Best place to start is getting a big social media presence. SEO and social will become further integrated, they won't kill each other off.

      A good link to have is one that you or your service provide has access to control

      2.0's are rockin it, match that with some higher pr backlnks, then further link diversification from there...

      The new SEO combines both social and backlinking, its the recipe that counts...

    I don't understand why everyone tries to fight the updates - why not just build top quality content and find related sites and send out quality blog post with high authority - build links the way links are naturally built instead of clamoring around after a penguin update to fix your sites.

    Hint: The penguin updates will never stop. Google will never just give up on web spam. Build quality now that will last for years.

      100% agree with you.

      SEO is not that hard,nowdays you can rank without a single backlink,just high quality content.

        Sure .. if your ranking a phrase like "oh ma gawd wtf is this dude posting!" ... that might be able to rank with high quality content only

        Link Building is not dead in despite of ALL of the later upgrades by Google including this later help article edit. As I explained above, Google's whole calculation was based links and that is still the #1 factor figuring out rankings. However, the tide is absolutely altering and its clear Google is scrambling to include more calculation indicators to move far from their dependence on connections to rank websites.

      .
      What a tired, nonsensical argument. 'Build links' the way they're 'naturally' built.

      Man, listen to yourself some time.

      So called 'high-quality' content and 'high-quality' backlinks you place to your own site are not enough to avoid Google algo changes.

      There's no magic bullet that's going to keep a website at the top of Google forever.

    Most basic SEO campaigns are still working. Other old linkbuilding strategy has little or already has no effect when it comes to ranking. To avoid wasting so much time even money investing on linkbuilding you have to carefully choose your links.

    Threads like "SEO is Dead" or "Link building is dead" is a conspiracy created by some internet marketers for "Marketing Purposes". Just to ignore them.

        Dear All Friend,
        First of all thanks for participating in this thread and replying... and giving few time to have some positive energy that Big G Do whatever but it will still worth to work for SEO as that is what gives us free traffic.

        FOR your information about me I have ranked my website in top 3 position on highest competition niches keywords for years and years... We all know that the SEO industry is not that stable since last few 1-2 years due to many updates and me myself is not alone who have been hit by any updates etc etc... But I still created this thread to have some test going on and pass some positive energy to all of my Warrior Forum friends with words that "link building and SEO both still works" thats it


        Sorry was busy with some other work anyways being A OP I am trying to answer everyone's query in my point on view on this thread...

        In my view having Social media is not a bad idea many research and surveys of big companies already proven that Social media is a ++ for SEO however since my thread is for link building in my test project i didnot tried any SMO or Social Media Optimization yet

        I agree web 2.0 + high pr links still works...

        Yes penguin may never stop but still SEO will never end until Search Engines are there in this internet world I think... Personally in my view any kind of link building done by you for your website still comes to gray hat link building so if anyone having confusion that there is any kind of specific white hat link building then atleast I donot believe in white hat link building

        First of all this is not churn and burn as I have 7 yrs of SEO experience and have seen all the major updates very closely... Yes I agree 25th spot is nothing.. but I will update the thread once it hit say 1st page or top 3 for sure... Also since i am not planning to be caught by any animal thus i am not in hurry to go there and make some noisy links and have the site back to 30th page, so working slow donot mean that you are not working...

        Since my link building is based on concept of tiered links it will have its value and worth as time passes and as more tier1/2 i creates...

        Nope yet, actually was busy with some other work however will start working on this project back but good news is rank is stable still so will continue to work and keep you all updated and posted

        Yes, thats why i created this thread just dont read any such threads they pass on negative energy and that is what Big G Want to kill SEO directly/indirectly... and pay them for paid ads thats it...

    Hey Friends,
    I have a good news I am on 1st page for my main keyword now ranking # 8th today....
    At the same moment of time since i worked for LSI too a lots of other keywords too causing good ranks too

    I will like to have it on top 3 then may be we can have some myths clear of SEO:
    1. Quality content works?
    2. Big G do have grammer checker?
    3. Link building works or not... ?
    4. Social Media a must for SEO?
    5. Tiered link building works or not...?
    6. Where to start SEO right way?

    and many more questions which anyone can have... At the same moment of time I am trying to have it ranked for top 3 for most of my LSI and other related keywords too.. Once I am all done may be i share the URL and all the keywords ranking

    At this moment i have to still work on few things more... and same time will think that will it be good for my test url and keywords to show to public or not...

    However the aim of the thread is still the same have pass some positive energy to all of my warrior forums that dont get afraid with Animals... they are just animals and the Zoo is best place for them so dont get scared we can still rank and bank...


    Many of my criticizers also claimed to show if i earn why not may be i show you that thing as well as soon as it get top rank i am sure my affiliate is gonna pay me upto 100 USD per sell then we share that graphs or data too for them who want to see that too...

    Its all a motivational thread other than this here is no motive...
    So friend i will be trying my best and share you as soon as I am top 3 and gets my 1st affiliate sell too

    In meantime anybody having any question please read this whole thread if your question you think yet not answered and you have a unique question i would be happy to help and answer

    SEO is not dead at all, you just need to change your strategy, you can focus on low search volume keywords instead of high search volume keywords.
