If you had a $300 budget to help you increase your rankings in the SERPS, what would you spend it on? Keep in mind the recent Panda updates. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

    Cant really do much with $300 for a serious increase. Although it wont be as effective due to recent Google algo updates you could try Senuke X, its around $150 per month so you could get 2 months out of it, not sure how you would get on with it, can take alot of patience to learn. But then again i havent used it for a long time.

    or you can use my service :rolleyes: Cheeeeky!
    No but seriously if you want steady rank increases my link is in my sig bud.

    Depends on how competative your keyword is, how old the domain is, how many backlinks you already have etc etc. For super competative keywords that require a lot of google juice to rank, could need a lot of time and effort, which equals to $$$.

      Like what? I don't trust SEO companies to build them nor software. I was thinking something along the lines of Yahoo directory.

    Keyword isn't that competitive. My site is only 2 months old and im on page 4 for my keywords (off to a solid start). I don't want to buy a backlink package or those things..something more organic (if that's possible). I guess for $300 my options won't be good, I'm assuming. Thanks for replying, guys.

    Im thinking of maybe hiring a designer to produce an info graphic or to produce a cool riddle on my page where users have to go through all my pages to figure it out..I feel like stuff like that has huge potential. Trying to think outside the box. What do you guys think?

      I think thats one of the most innovative idea's I ever heard lol.

      I love it.

      Somewhere I read about some little game on the sidebar to keep people hooked and lower the bounce rates, but for Adsense sites it draws away the attention of clicking at an Ad.

      Gonna send you a pm now!

  • I wouldnt spend any money on any service from Warrior Forum at the moment

    Rather put the money towards adding some really good content to the site, and perhaps some graphics to make the site look professional for my visitors

      Because you have no clue about SEO to determine which services are good and which are not! There are quiet a few gems at this forum although I got to agree they are very hard to find.

        lol i have a good enough clue to determine that you offer the same stuff every other provider on this forum is offering, you are hardly breaking the mould

        i would love to see some genuine 'gems' because your services certainly are not.

          Wow, I wrote a long reponse but you are not worth it, if you aren't even capable to see the difference of what I offer and what 95% of the other people offer in the for sales threads then shoot me

          Leaves me to say: Please don't give people advice on your silly little blog, it only harms more then it does good.

            care to explain how this is so different from other services??

            ps - im not saying your services are BAD, im just saying your services are just the same as 100's of other services providers, maybe you do something different, but from looking at your threads it doesn't look like it.

              100's are offering automated senukex stuff, there are not 100's who offer retweets/pinterest/docsharing/video submissions and the other social stuff.

              understandably cause I keep it vague, you miss the 150 high PR links, previously that was known as the "secret sauce" and these are not some:

              - blogcomments
              - public blog network links
              - private blog network links
              - or any other usual crap that many sell for high PR links (like forumprofiles and that kind of nonsense)

              The 150 high PR is based on a special technique that 99.9% of the IM'ers never heard of.

              It's kind of hard to prove but take a look at the latest reviews on page 3 and 4 and you'll see that people moved to the top of page 1 with only those 150 high PR links.


              Again these 150 High PR are the most important driving force behind my services, you now picked my social packages but as you see I have 2 other threads as well that offer customized web2.0's powered with the 150 High PR links, and in the other thread I offer homepage links and guestposts starting at $20,- on sites that I will keep working on. Which offers a huge value to people cause others would easily charge $xx/month for a link at a relevant site. In fact that is a free bonus as we boost their guestposts with those 150 high PR links already (value $29) actual value is much higher but the costs for me are not that large so I keep it in reasonable boundaries.

              I moved 1 word keywords from the construction niche from page 2 to #5 with those 150 high PR links (we are talking about 30K+ exact kw's here). Keywords that target $3000+ quotes.

              And 9 out of 10 of my clients are complaining that their previous seo provider couldn't move them an inch. I know I do things different then 100's of others and I know it works, thats why I sometimes put a stop to new orders cause I catched some large clients cause of this.

    I wouldn't spend it on SERPS... Id spend it on list building. Solo ads and building high converting sales funnels.

      For $300 you can buy a pile of articles. Buy some ****ty cheap ones and build a few 2.0s. Buy some decent ones and submit for article marketing. Add a few to your sites for longtail keywords.

      A decent amount of links, new content, nothing Google can ding you for.

    Build 20 HIGH QUALITY web 2.0 articles. Then for each article create a mesh of backlinks with senuke. I can do the 2nd step for you.

    Creating backlinks for 20 URLs will cost you $100 with my senuke service.

    I would advise to buy really good high quality content for 30 pages which comes out to be $10 per page with minimum 500 words

    content for $2 & $10 is going to be poor, i would not waste your money on articles like this

    word count has nothing to do with it, it should be about giving value to your readers

    Have a read of this, the guy explains it perfectly

    First before investing in any seo services.
    1st - Invest in Good quality LSI content.
    2nd - Check your Onpage SEO (duplicate content in your site, etc)
    3rd - Invest in an SEO service or learn it yourself.
