Re: Rank on First Page of Google with NO Backlinks - Challenge??
 

@JeremiahSay, No backlinks meaning, no backlink building at all, whether its b/h, authority ones, mass spamming or anything - nothing at all.
@uzojvp, yeah, I hope that too. Someone else would chime in and share the SERPs they see.

Re: Rank on First Page of Google with NO Backlinks - Challenge??
 

Heymehn, u guys still on this contest.. Whats the rank in your location?

Re: Rank on First Page of Google with NO Backlinks - Challenge??
 

@uzojvp, yes, we're still on it. :-)

Re: Rank on First Page of Google with NO Backlinks - Challenge??
 

its possible...just make up a word and seo for it lol

or go for LONG tail keywords that are useless to everyone except you to rank #1 for something useless.

can it be done with high comp keyword/phrases ? no not in a million years.

Re: Rank on First Page of Google with NO Backlinks - Challenge??
 

@Evan, what makes a keyword useful or useless?? For me, it's not the number of visitors or searches. For me, it's just the number of sales it can bring or the chances of bringing a sale.

What you believe in the number of searches or keyword research maynot be completely true.. For ex: take the keyword 'increase adsense earnings' its not a widely searched term. But it still brings me some sales everyday. How is that? You need to design your campaigns in a way, that makes profit to you. That's all about it.

Re: Rank on First Page of Google with NO Backlinks - Challenge??
 

I agree that some keywords are just untapped as of now, and are long tail that just havn't been discovers...no comp means you can rank by just doing proper SEO for now until someone else competes.

also believe to trust but verify....

backlinkwatch.com for : Mervik Haums: An Ordinary Guy in Extra Ordinary Tales

Total Backlinks 349

example of one of your "not backlinks"

Help me to remove - "Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time"

see that "contact us" that points to your site....thats a backlink

think maybe you should read this.

Backlink - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

also your site is a PR 2 , maybe you can explain how to get any PR without backlinks, That one I would love to hear.

You kinda give it away in your opening post tho.. and when someone mentioned redirects they are really close. just look at the original post in this thread...instead of a direct backlink, you link to http://gsqueezer.com/go/myblogpage, which then redirects the user

Checked link: http://gsqueezer.com/go/myblogpage

Type of redirect: 301 Moved Permanently

Redirected to: http://www.mervikhaums.com

If your going to cheat...don't make it blatantly obvious.

lets pretend you did have "0" backlinks. Just by posting the opening post in this thread, you failed as soon as you hit the post button, as the post has a backlink in it.

Re: Rank on First Page of Google with NO Backlinks - Challenge??
 

@Evan-M

LOL! That's funny. You didn't seem like read the thread. Did you? Where did I claim that 'my blog' has NO backlinks? The blog is very old and it has more backlinks than you just claimed above. LOL! All we're talking about here is about the 'new blog post' page we just created and not supporting that 'particular one' with any backlinks. Before making comments go through the details, I request.

Another thing about the gsqueezer link, who on earth wouldn't know that that is a redirection to track stats? ha ha. And it definitely says that, it goes to my blog right? Whats your point here? I could have given my blog url directly - I didn't do it just to track :-) Thats a funny statement anyways - I have no need of 'proving' or 'cheating' anything to 'you' or anybody - it wont be bringing any good or bad to me. I just wanted to make it clear, to make things clear for such silly arguments is wasting my time though, which I may not do again. Thank you.

Mervik

Re: Rank on First Page of Google with NO Backlinks - Challenge??
 

Backlinks will most probably will help google to determine Google Page Rank and Google Page Rank is not as important as before as much as I know. After the last Google update, penguin update, The web traffic and social media link & traffic are more important. So I believe in that you can do pretty good with out backlinks

Re: Rank on First Page of Google with NO Backlinks - Challenge??
 

Hello guys,

If you've participated on this by sharing your views and support, you'd soon receive my PM with a complete writing of my step by step approach which made this happen.

As we've successfully reached the first page of Google in a 30 days period, I'm closing this contest. I'm working on the writing, to make an ebook which would be publicly released. However, I request you who have supported me on this thread (only who have made posts and shared the their thoughts and SERPs of the keyword) to drop me a pm or send me your email address so that I can send you a copy of the ebook as soon I'm done with the writing, hopefully in a couple of weeks. At the moment I'm working on a wordpress project and would start working on this one as soon its completed.

I sincerely thank you all for dropping comments, suggestions and for your support. Please avoid bumping this thread as its closed. If there is a questions, feel free to drop me a PM.
