Currently top of page 2, how can I get to page 1?
- SEO |
Here's what I've done so far:
- 5 Web 2.0 sites: After creating these I hired someone from Fiverr to make some backlinks for them. From what I can tell only 3 have been indexed so far.
-Article directories: I have articles posted on ezine, sooper articles and go articles.
-2 expired domains: I found 2 expired domains with good link profiles and good PA/DA an trust stats that were related to my niche. So I bought them up, added new content and linked them to my site.
-Blog comments: I've done about 10. I made sure these comments were made on pages relevant to my niche.
-Social Bookmarks: I haven't done too much work here. I started accounts on Stumble Upon and Delicious and added links to my site.
-Web Directories: I submitted my site to about 50. From what I can see I've been accepted by 4. I know a lot of these sites have tons of applications to sort through, so I may see a few more backlinks pop up from these in the coming months.
-Social Media: I've made a youtube video with a link to my site. I've also set up a Facebook page and a Google+ page. I've been meaning to set up Twitter for a while but haven't gotten to that yet.
-In addition to all these I found a very authoritative site with a directory related to my niche. The directory page has a PR of 4. I contacted the site and after reviewing my site they added my link to their directory.
So, moving forward, I have a few options:
-Guest Posting: This is one form of link building I haven't tried yet. There don't seem to be too many active blogs in my niche but I'm sure I could find somewhere to post.
-More expired domains: I have a few more relevant domains that I've found. Their stats aren't as impressive as the first two I used though, but they still might help. After the first two got indexed I moved up three spots on Google, so these links obviously have some effect.
-More Web 2.0's: I could make more of these, but I'm not sure it's worth it. They seem to take a long time to get indexed (I still have two I made over a month ago that aren't showing up on Google) and I'm not sure how much they've helped my cause so far.
-Paying for high PR links or link building services: I'm not crazy about this option either. So far I've built all the links myself. It's been a lot of work, but it also gives me a lot of control over my link profile. If Google has a problem with any of these links I can simply delete them. If I start paying other people for links they now have control over them. They may not do a good job, or the links may not last and now I'm out a lot of money have bad links pointing to my site.
-I could just stop link building and wait: I know there are still links that haven't been indexed yet. I could just keep writing new content for my site and wait for these links to show up.
Anyways, sorry for the long post. If anyone has any ideas what I should do at this point it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
