Advice Needed on My Link Building Strategy

Hi warriors,

I would like to share my link building strategy and hopefully to get some valuable inputs and suggestions that would help greatly in my conquest. My first keyword link building strategy has high competition which has 100k in quotes and 10 million results without quotes. So what i did was i abandon that keyword and start off with a new keyword to rank high for.

Keyword research:
First off i did a search on the GKWT and filter my searches to the range of 3000-10000 global searches and a minimum of $1 average CPC. Then i double check my keywords on MNF and it was in the green zone with a SOC score of 30. It's a 3 word keyword (i prefer longtail keywords) which has 20k results in quotes and 300k result without quotes in google.

On-page SEO:
I am not quite a big fan of ON-page SEO but i did change my META title and description to have my new chosen keyword. (would help if any warriors have any input on this)

Link-Building and Promotion:
As i'm quite busy with work and can only devote myself to IM 3 hrs a day, This is what i've planned out. For every article that i post on my website, I will write 2 unique articles. 1 to Ezine and the other 1 to Goarticles. The anchor text has my keyword directing it to my website. Then i will answer 1 question a day at yahoo answers or ask dot com with my website as the source. I will provide relevant answers and not spamming to prove that i am an expert in that field.

Using SEO Spyglass (free version) to check the backlinks of my chosen keyword, I will post 5 blog comments each day starting with PR0 and slowly moving up to high PR links.

I created a profile at a forum and submitting 5 posts each day with my keyword in the signature. I will try to answer 5 unanswered questions and be highly informative. I found this forum by searching "keyword" + "forum" in google.

What i will do soon when i have the budget is that i will get someone to write for me a press release and submit it to press release directories. Ask someone to create a link wheel with my chosen keyword. Outsource someone to submit my website to web directories. All of this will be outsourced once i have my budget.

So i'm hoping if any warriors would mind giving advices on how to improve on my link building strategy as i am only interested in high quality backlinks which are relevant to my niche. I don't have much luck looking for edu and gov websites as most of the comments need to be moderated before approving. I type in "site:.gov + "blog" in google to get the edu and gov websites.

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated. Comments are welcome too.

      Its a sound approuch, but it is gonna take a lot of time and effort to keep this process going, and hopefully content creation is not going to suffer

      If possible I would suggest outsorcing much of the work as possible, so that you can free up time to create high quality content for your website.

      Hopefully the site is for the long-term, and not just for adsense, becuase if it is, then I think it will take too much time for the $$ rewards. If its for list building to prove your are an expert and then release a product, I then think the approuach is sound..

      Hope this makes sense and is helpfull

        Hi Bruce,
        Yes and i am hoping to devote myself into this to only qet quality links of my niche.

        I was thinking of outsourcing these link building campaign so that i can concentrate solely on putting up content on my website. Do you know of any recommended virtual assistants that are up for this type of jobs? And What are the range like?

        I'm aiming for my site to be an authority site with not just adsense but incorporate ads in it from maybe CPA sites using banners. For now it is just the beginning.

        Great to know that you think that my approach is good. Thanks for your suggestions.

        Regards,
        Shafiq

    For on-page SEO i would highly advise you to do so. It only takes and extra five or ten minutes to fully optomise your website. You will gain better leverage in doing so.

    Why re-write the articles? You can actually post the EXACT SAME article onto Ezine articles.

    You could also look to further syndicate your content further for increased leverage. Do a search here for some of the great article marketers advise. They know what they are talking about!

    Allowing one hour for On-site, if you then spent around 2 hrs every day on your website with the Off-page seo aspect and STICKING TO IT... You will in time see results. SEO takes time as well as effort in some tough cases. In some cases it may even be the simple fact your website in new and just not trusted as much. Stick at it and you will see the results.

    They have no issues in you doing so. Many of the respected article marketers here on WF advise you should first add the article to your own website, then once it's indexed in Google you can then take the same article to ezine and add it to your account in the exact same format you loaded onto your website.

    I do this all the time and have NEVER had an issue in doing so.

      Hi,
      I didn't know that i can post my content on my website first and then submit the original content to ezine. My worry is that they will think that it will be duplicated content. Am i right to saying that once i have wrote my article on my website, wait for it to be indexed and then submit it to ezine?

      For SEO on site optimization? What do you mean by this? What factors do you take into account? Is it like the keywords percentage? Keywords in H1,H2 and H3 title tags, keyword is alt tag images, etc? If that's what you meant then i'm already implementing it using Clickbump SEO!. If there's other factors then i hope you wouldn't mind telling me.

        Hi,

        You can repost the same article to Ezine articles. I have been doing so for some time now with great success. The other great thing about this is that because it goes onto my site first it's always great content as it's for me first.. EZA normally approve it without many hitches.

        There is lots of evidence to suggest that non relevant backlinks don't really matter too much! The reason to build backlinks is to rank in Google, and it is impossible to know exactly what Google sees as relevant or not! I have read wonderful arguments on this forum over that exact topic.

        It's your site, so it's up to you what backlinks you get, but it may take you a very long time to rank, if you only focus on relevant backlinks...

    Actually, you just need to add the signature, ping, combine it to RSS and bookmark it. And if you post 5 post per day with your sig, this will help you profile index and count to backlink. Others post with highly informative will bring you traffic from forum, it is not from backlink. Anyway, this is a good ways to get traffic and does not depend all to Google.
