Ranking Is EASY: My Christmas Gift Tips

After seeing a topic asking "Is Google Dead?", I have decided to give you guys a christmas.. present...

As the title of this thread says: ranking in general is easy (don't take that too seriously, and go trying your luck ranking for auto insurance )

Why is it easy you ask? Because the core basic functions of Google's algorithm is still the same. It's like this:

The core basic functions of Google is like a Queen that Google is trying to protect. Google is like Britain's government protecting Queen Elizabeth... in order to get to the queen, you will first need to get through her BODY GUARDS.

Same thing in the world of SEO. Google Penguin, Panda, EMD Update, and other nameless algorithms are simply body guards that protect the core functions of Google. Once you take away the body guards, it's still the same old Google. High Quality Contextual/Authority Links + A decent to great site = Gold. It's really that simple

How can I say that with certainty? Goes to secret lap on Monday: a site of mine which is 3 months old sitting there all forgotten, main keyword gets exact 9000 searches a month, 1 article... (yes, 1 article, i got lazy ) previous rank? N/A. I throw 2 high quality contextual backlinks at the site and like magic, poooof! top of page 3, and it's only wednesday. My point? Core is still the same, I simply bypassed the body guards

Anyway, with that understanding, I hope I given you a new perspective.

Now for the tips:

1: They always say "vary" your anchor text. This is true, but remember, do NOT have 100% of your backlinks pointing to your homepage... that is a red flag to Google's body guards

2: Remember - If you are ranking in the top 20, Google thinks you are relevant, just not important enough to rank number 1... yet. How to you become more important? Continue doing all the good stuff. Bad: Do Not backlink your main anchor text if you are on page 1 or even page 2. As long as you have a good variety of links coming in, and you have all on page advantage factors, you will move up

3: did you know that 4 - 5 page websites still rank and are considered "authority" sites by Google? No?? Well... take it from me, authority has nothing to do with how many useless.. i mean pages your site has

4: THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL AS AN SEO: keyword research. It is the difference between making money and making no money if your strategy of making money online is via the search engines.

... and there you have it, happy holidays, enjoy

    You lost me with "get to the Queen". I have no terrorist leanings and am not into old women. Your analogy has turned me off forever from SEO.

      What you are tending to forget here buddy is that EMD and Penguin are not built into the algorithm. They are refreshes that Google pushes out when necessary,.

      You have heard the term here today and gone tomorrow well that is what can happen. The problem was that a lot of people chose only contextual backlinks from the same supplier and didn't vary anything. Hence those blog networks got shut down and the links disappeared.

      Anchor text still does give a penalty and I tested this the other day by sending 7 high pr links with the same anchor text as my target keyword and bang it went within a couple of days. Yes you can get it back but most people haven't got a clue how to rank or recover. I test everything everyday because I can. Without data there is nothing to say.

      Seeing how everyone follows the same linking process for all their sites, is it a wonder they lose their entire business when Google makes an update. You can rank faster than ever and you can keep your rankings and recover. You just need to know the secret lol

        Mike Anthony: that was the plan... to convert you into a full Adsense guy

        leighs31: Just a quick correction, I didn't say Panda, and google's zoo of animals are built in to their algo, my point was that their body guards. also not taking about blog networks and why certain were shut down... but yes test everything, I do the same, and my test show again and again that ranking in Google is still easy, just different now since they added lots of body guards to protect the core.

        gotlinks: Thanks, feel free to add anything.

        Becker13: thanks, feel free to add anything.

          Ah so adsense guys like old ladies? Eh makes sense

          A) they clearly like old things that don't work most of the time (no disprespect for old ladies who work ton loads better than adsense does for most and because being old is a good thing - means you didn't die young) so at least it s familiar. I can see the attraction. People like what they are used to.

          B) how else are adsense guys going to make any real money than somebody dying and leaving them mentioned in a will?

          You are to be commended for seeing at least that with adsense you will need a more feasible means of income. Way to use the noggin
