Dear Friends at Warrior Forum,
I just created a testing wordpress blog and created say 5 post on it and then did a few link building with tiered link building concept and i got results like this screenshot as follows:



So this post to clear few doubts:
1. Tiered link building still works.
2. Web 2.0 blogs still works fine.
3. Even I ranked a EMD sub domain too
4. Link building and SEO still works...

Compeition was medium on this keyword too so not low competition...

My ranks got up from nearby 400 to 25 in just 2-3 weeks time only...

I just shared this live screenshot of yesterday time itself due to time zone difference otherwise screenshot was taken just few hours back

My this post is dedicated to them whoever have had any animal update and are scared that link building or SEO is dead now.. No its not dead just you need to be smarter dont pust 1000s of links direct to your main site or site which you want to rank

Hope this will encourage many of my friends at Warrior Forum too...
Have my best respect...

    • Fast but not safe,backlinks will always work until the next Penguin update,you can have the same results just adding high quality content to your blog.

      After penguin 3.0 could you update this thread ?

  • Even old straight forward link wheels are still working. Nowadays no need to release new Algo updates/filters. Just give a fake announcement in Matt's blog that google is unfolding a new update within next 1 week or so. Bang! Folks will start claiming they are experiencing rank loss. Some will start claiming web 2.0s are now dead article directories are now dead blah bla bla. And here in WF we will start seeing threads like "SEO is dead, now What??"

    • SEO will not dead, it will be just more tough, more competitive and more technical.

    Position #25 most likely gets the same amount of traffic as position #400.

    • Respected Senior Member Yukon,
      I will not have traffic until I have top 5 or say top 3 ranks with me. I will keep updated with the latest screenshots to share the new updates of as soon as ranks improve as my SEO Work still going on and i am not finished with my tiered link building yet..

      So I am hopeful that it shall be in top 5 or top 3 soon say in 1 week or so...
      Rest we see it soon too... How it goes...

  • great job , but seo will not die, but google is very strict about content so don't use spinning content, use only fresh and quality content.
  • In internet marketing links are most important thing, which is help connect other network and passed link juice to previous network. So, how could be possible SEO is dead. Optimization and marketing over search engine are made for each other and never fails. They weave always links back.

    • Good luck thinking that links are most important,forget about the content,website user friendly,forget everything right ?

      Links will pass link juice,link juice will make your page get PageRank,and that is all !!!

      By the way,pagerank dont mean &$@-$&@ !

      Pages wirh PR 0 outrank pages with PR 6 all the time...

  • Hi
    Looking good, and I have to say that I get similar results...even without link building
    Would be interesting to know how competitive keywords you target?

  • Yes, SEO (link building) is NOT dead! You need to be persistent in link building and not get discouraged if you don't see the good result in the SEO game.

    If you are lazy in the link building effort, you can hire someone do it for yours.
  • Good job for actually testing something rather than just listening to advice or worse, doing nothing at all and being stuck in a limbo
  • SEO is dead = its hard to do now for many people

    • Unfortunately there is some truth to that point of view.

      The talented and experienced still have the upper hand and many have evolved, but for the guy that was caught on the bottom of the food chain it's a tough, cold world in link-based SEO.

      There's still plenty of things out there that work however. It's just a matter of finding or affording them.

      Fortunately it almost forces new marketers to build a real 'tool set' for marketing and learn things like conversion optimization and some copywriting early on in their career.

      That's only a good thing in my point of view because many 'marketers' had really just become professional link builders with very few other marketing assets to use.

      I particularly feel with that scenario because it was a weakness of mine that I have had to work diligently to improve upon.
  • I really don't care for anything but top 10 positions. You are also talking about nothing but one site. I am definitely not saying backlinking does not help. I have seen on MANY sites, that it does, but position #25 on a random keyword tells you nothing.

  • I am doing the same job only remember use unique content on tier 1 and blast your tier 1 with shitty links as a tier 2... that's it.

  • Good job .. keep it up ! ... what linking method you using ? you got a network ?
    • [1] reply
    • In my view private high pr personal blog network required only when you need to make any high competition keyword fight

      For this medium competition keyword I used tiered link building using Money Robot software

      Web 2.0 on tier1 and then rest kind of links on tier2... Wait for 2 weeks and results are with me.. I am just waiting to finish tier 2 and I believe it will end up with good results may be top 3

      This is not the first time i worked with tiered link building so quite sure that it must end up with some good results

  • Hi,

    All that the original post proves is that Google indexed your site. Google always favors new sites. It's referred to as a Google Honeymoon.

    Glad to see you've learned about it. This has nothing what so ever to do with proof that tiered link building still works. Though I know tiered linking works and works well, this post just doesn't prove anything.

    • Dear friend,
      I will have screenshot shared of ranking after 1 month too no issue, as i know what tiered link building plan i used it so we just let wait for 1 month and to confirm Honeymoon period is over or so As Honeymoon is not new name for me too... and that is not in this case as keyword ranked after indexed 14-15 days...
  • In what country is standing 25th considered being a success?

  • Of course seo still works, the guys who said seo and link building is dead, I suppose they are so lazy and "no time" to learn seo, even do seo job.
  • SEO is not dead it just that the strategy that online marketers uses now is not the same back in 2009. The strategy is keep on updating and upgrading.

  • SEO won't die. What you need to focus on when building links is longevity and quality. You need links to chase you. Best place to start is getting a big social media presence. SEO and social will become further integrated, they won't kill each other off.

    • A good link to have is one that you or your service provide has access to control

      2.0's are rockin it, match that with some higher pr backlnks, then further link diversification from there...

      The new SEO combines both social and backlinking, its the recipe that counts...
  • I don't understand why everyone tries to fight the updates - why not just build top quality content and find related sites and send out quality blog post with high authority - build links the way links are naturally built instead of clamoring around after a penguin update to fix your sites.

    Hint: The penguin updates will never stop. Google will never just give up on web spam. Build quality now that will last for years.

    • 100% agree with you.

      SEO is not that hard,nowdays you can rank without a single backlink,just high quality content.

    • OMG, I just love people like you on the forum, I call them Google candy-kids.

      The more you spread your strategy to the public, the best for us.

    • i agree too..
      good quality content + (a few) high quality backlinks will make you a winner ..
    • What a tired, nonsensical argument. 'Build links' the way they're 'naturally' built.

      Man, listen to yourself some time.

      So called 'high-quality' content and 'high-quality' backlinks you place to your own site are not enough to avoid Google algo changes.

      There's no magic bullet that's going to keep a website at the top of Google forever.

  • SEO is definitely not dead. But yeah spot #25 means you still have some work to go before you consider this a win. Out of curiosity is this just a churn & burn site?

  • Do you already hit first page?
  • Most basic SEO campaigns are still working. Other old linkbuilding strategy has little or already has no effect when it comes to ranking. To avoid wasting so much time even money investing on linkbuilding you have to carefully choose your links.

    Threads like "SEO is Dead" or "Link building is dead" is a conspiracy created by some internet marketers for "Marketing Purposes". Just to ignore them.
  • Thanks andishm. it was necessary to prove it. lot of people talk about this thing but they have no clue.
    Great report
  • I say that they are not dead. I feel that link building is very important to seo. This is a great way to get some good traffic to your site and really get your site on the map!

    • over 10 days since your last post, andishm. What's new with your site's rankings?

  • Hey Friends,
    I have a good news I am on 1st page for my main keyword now ranking # 8th today....
    At the same moment of time since i worked for LSI too a lots of other keywords too causing good ranks too

    I will like to have it on top 3 then may be we can have some myths clear of SEO:
    1. Quality content works?
    2. Big G do have grammer checker?
    3. Link building works or not... ?
    4. Social Media a must for SEO?
    5. Tiered link building works or not...?
    6. Where to start SEO right way?

    and many more questions which anyone can have... At the same moment of time I am trying to have it ranked for top 3 for most of my LSI and other related keywords too.. Once I am all done may be i share the URL and all the keywords ranking

    At this moment i have to still work on few things more... and same time will think that will it be good for my test url and keywords to show to public or not...

    However the aim of the thread is still the same have pass some positive energy to all of my warrior forums that dont get afraid with Animals... they are just animals and the Zoo is best place for them so dont get scared we can still rank and bank...


    Many of my criticizers also claimed to show if i earn why not may be i show you that thing as well as soon as it get top rank i am sure my affiliate is gonna pay me upto 100 USD per sell then we share that graphs or data too for them who want to see that too...

    Its all a motivational thread other than this here is no motive...
    So friend i will be trying my best and share you as soon as I am top 3 and gets my 1st affiliate sell too

    In meantime anybody having any question please read this whole thread if your question you think yet not answered and you have a unique question i would be happy to help and answer
  • SEO is not dead at all, you just need to change your strategy, you can focus on low search volume keywords instead of high search volume keywords.
