Position 10 on Google - how do I move up?

Haha, seriously....if there's a SEO ladder - where do I find one

Any thoughts anyone?

Question - is it always best to use 'Genewize' in the anchor text when I do back links? Or is it the same if I just post links to the site in various places around the internet.

just get more links with various anchor text, just make sure that text is found on your page, or has a closely related word on it, and you'll do fine. It's all about links.

yah, how would free classifieds help?

Go to Blogger Search

Type in 'Genewize'

Find Blogs about 'Genewize'

Put your comments in the comments section.

Look for 'Do Follow' Blogs and do the same thing.

Use anchor text when you can.

Another 2 tips.

Register 3 or 4 domains with 'Genewize' in the domain name.

Point them all to your Main Site.

Register them in different countries on different servers.

Chances are if you have 'Genewize' in the domain name this will rank better than if you don't.




Create as many free websites and blogs as you can - all pointing to your main site.

I find posting in decent page rank blogs that are related to your niche helps.

Maybe, increase the keyword density on the page.

More....!!

If you type in 'the gene collective' into google - you can see your page comes up No.1

If you type in 'gene collective' you can see it comes up No 2.

You can see how important the domain name is to the search engine.

If you had 'Genewize' in your domain name - this would give the new domain name significant strength in the search engines.

Then - with all the backlinks you are creating - you said 25 articles a day, which is heaps, you should easily be able to get the domain higher in the ranking.

You could concentrate on the new domain name - create backlinks for it or your existing one

thegenecollective.com

and then link it to your new one.

Either way - they should eventually rank relatively well and you may find the one with the 'Genewize' keyword in the domain name eventually overtake the older one.

Sorry -

One last thing.

How you structure your site is important.

I note your site looks like it is 2 layers deep.

You should structure it in 'silos'.

Do a bit of research on this and you will find out lots about it.

It is also called Latent Semantic Indexing.

Check out seo2020.

But basically - store each seperate topic of your website in a sepeate 'silo'.

A bit like - wheat in one, flour in the other, water in the other - basic example but I am sure you get the idea.

Then only link each 'silo' back to your homepage and be careful where else it links.

Split your topics up.

For example:

If you had a website on dogs.

Your home page would be 'Dogs'

Silo 1 might be 'black dogs'

Silo 2 might be 'white dogs'

Silo 3 might be hairy 'dogs'

etc etc

You would not link the 'hairy dog' silo to the 'black dog' silo - but link both back to your homepage only.

Your current website looks as though a lot of topics are mixed together in the one folder.

Put pages that are of the same topic into the same folders.

This should also help you in your rankings.

You may have to reconfigure your site - but it is worth the effort.

Hope you got something out of this !!

Hi,
I am trying hard to get a term ranked from 30+ to go to page 1 too. I am focusing all my efforts in article marketing now. GOing natural is the best in my opinion and is well agreed by many people. SEs loves content and especially in-context links. You can have them submitted with your targeted word in the content body.

social bookmarking
social news tag
forum posting
blog dir submitting
blog comment posting etc.

And the best tool to build back links -> Article marketing. Just write a lot of articles and submit them to article directories...

Wow, all of your suggestions are helping - we've moved up to position #6 today and looking like we're more solid on page #1.

Thanks everyone!

(seems that linking to particular pages and interlinking pages is really helping - article submissions are a key in this process for us).

David,

I changed my signature after I learned about anchoring 'Genewize'. So that's why there's some confusion.

And welcome back!

I don't know you might want a better keyword because I could never see myself typing Genewize into google.

You know what Habitat - you wouldn't type it in because you're not searching on the Genewize business.

People who are, will type in 'Genewize'.

Good point

create an article about "genewiz" (what the *** is that anyway? on wikipedia, wikidot, squidoo....link to your site, but be careful not to make it look spammy.

GeorgR. thanks for the info. And Strauss, when you say effective Directory submissions, what exactly do you mean - any tips there?

GeorgR, Genewize is a biotech company I'm promoting - we're bringing to market for the first time multivitamins which are individually customized based on the results of a simple DNA test. You wouldn't believe what you can discover about your health with this kind of technology.

I'm loving this thread - learning tons about SEO and it's HELPING a lot! Today, we're on page #1, POSITION #1!!!

Dont't forget the value of internal links. Use your own pages to link to your main keyword page. On your own pages use the keyword phrases as anchor text.

make good backlinks....Genewize seems less competition keyword just do some seo. you will get top ranks..

Internal links was something I'd overlooked - we just got on the ball with this (still more to come) but we've already moved up!

Thanks, this is such a great thread!

Yup, we've got that covered...we're linking to different posts/pages on the blog with different anchor text

Time also will help your positioning. I found that if I could convince the sites with the 1-10 ranking to give my a link then I was golden and moved up 2 spots.

I strongly suggest you submit your blog to some of the top blog directories such as botw.org (blog section) - this is $50 bux but worth it. Blog catalog is a really great free directory that should help alot. Try a few others as well, just google blog directories. Focus on one's with high PR. This should make a big difference once your blog is accepted and your blog is reindexed.

Internal links done right is a great way. Also, content! Add More content, Google loves it! Mmmm

- Join those forums which are directly related with your niche and use their signature.
- Start blog posting comments on your niche
- Use Directory submission - but should be of high quality (cheap is dangerous)
- Put original and unique contain before anyone can put.

These are the tips which I am using and now my blog at 3 on Google against the compettion of 11,800,000 pages.

Best of luck.

Awesome.

Press releases can also help you to go up.

All the best,

Franck.

Franck - can you or anyone else suggest a particular Press release submission site for these purposes please. Much appreaciated

Can someone explain to me this about getting another keyword loaded domain name and pointing it to your site.

Does this mean, get a domain, redirect it to your site, then start building some links to the new domain?

This has confused me for a long time now, I keep seeing people talk about it, but just never quite understand what they mean.

You sound like you're heading up the rankings fast, so it may just be a matter of time before you get where you want to be. Age is not a huge factor in Google, but it is a factor.

I especially thought that Easy Cash had some great advice to give you and I wholeheartedly agree with it. I probably wouldn't normally have added anything, but I've been working a lot on optimization for one of my own blogs lately and I've had some interesting (good) results.

What I've found, that I thought might apply to your site, is that as I've concentrated on improving my rankings by improving my content relevance for long and mid-tail keywords my rankings for my main keywords have improved as a consequence. I think this has to do with two things - first, as I look to Google to tell me what my site is most relevant for initially and respond to that and strengthen my ranking for the phrases Google says I'm relevant for, Google has rewarded me. Second, as I work on adding more content for related topics I'm also adding more content, period, and Google loves it.

I don't know if I'm going to upset anyone by saying this because apparently we all know that Google loves backlinks with a passion, but ultimately it is content that is king. With this in mind, I noticed that your posts are very short.

Do you have Google Analytics installed on your site? If so (or if you are using something similar that tells you what organic searches are bringing traffic to your site) take note of the long and mid-tail keywords that are getting traffic and write more posts with these keywords in the title, then write articles with these keywords in the title using anchor text for these keywords pointing to the post rather than the home page. This will fortify your relevance for these long and mid-tail searches and get your post page ranking highly, which will in turn boost your main keyword rank and home page rank as well.

Also, write some longer posts, that is, posts that are pushing the 2000 word mark. Use your main keyword in the title, the first paragraph and the last paragraph and use anchor text in the first paragraph pointing to your home page. Then let the search engines find relevant long and mid-tail phrases in these posts... and respond.

Finally, build a hub of various high PR sites to link back to these posts (ie Squidoo, Hubpages, Blogger, EZA, GA etc). And if your can find some forums, post in these with the long and mid-tail keywords in the post title with a signature link pointing back home.

Also, you could try some commenting on .gov and .edu sites with blogs.

I guess it's a flow on effect that you're looking for that will mean that you are strengthening your rankings exponentially by ranking for lots of relevant phrases, all pointing back to your main phrase. This will solidify your main keyword rankings when they do rise and your competition will struggle to knock you off the top spot when you do get there. Good luck.

Set up a couple free blogs, squidoo page and focus on your key phrase and anchor text. Point all to your select page and all to each other. Sure there is more to it than this but a start.

wow , actually your site is very nice looking , have high page rank . you will go to the top ten SERP soon
