I've been optimizing my site for several months.The keyword is semi competitive - about 10,000 monthly.After several months slow link building my site is page 3.What I noticed is that, I continue working, but my site ranking doesn't increase.I do only 100% white hat.No private networks, no reciprocal, no redirects and so on.What I do is:

several guest posts/month on quality blogs
blog commenting on good blogs
forum posting

What to do now?Will my site continue increasing the ranking, if I don't increase the speed of link building?

Or if I increase the speed, will i be penalized?

I also update about once a week, about 1000 words quality articles.Once I update, I see immediately increasing of the ranking for about one day.
Do I have to update more frequently?My blog is on a specific topic, where there can't be found a lot of information.

Please give me professional advice.

I want top 10 for this keyword.

    • Build more links and better links

    Hi,

    Are you referring to your page rank or your keyword ranking? Because if you are referring to your site's page rank, do not worry about this. Google seldom updates the sites' page rank so that is just normal that you still have a PR 3 site.

    I could not see anything wrong with what you are doing. So I suggest you just continue building content and backlinks. In time, you will notice an increase in your page rank and also in your keywords ranking.

    Good luck!

      Completely wrong. Google updates both PageRank and page rank on a constant basis.

      What they seldom do, is tell the general public how, when, and why.

      Such misinformation about PR. I heard a guy who heard a guy who heard a guy
      saying google no longer updates PR...so it must be true! Now I'll tell a guy,
      and that guy will tell a guy,...and pretty soon, millions believe a myth.

        PR is widely known among site owners, but many don't realize there's difference between "toolbar" and real PR. Or know that the visible score doesn't get updated often. Unfortunately Google made the situation worse by making PR even more confusing and opaque. Maybe they could just kill toolbar PR altogether.

        "They're showing us a number, it's gotta mean something. Right?"

        Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
        Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

        What's your excuse?

    There is no as such link building speed. The only thing you should work with ethical ways and constant work will surely give you best results.

    Concentrate on the quality work, like quality baklinks, quality content. Also check your onpage requirements, like proper use of h1, h2 tags, title and keyword density, etc.

    Try to make quality links. Do not much focus on blog comment and forum. Try to post quality content and share it on social media profile, make it popular it on social media. Try to reply each comment if you receive on blog.

    I want rank increasing, not pr, of course.

    I heard that if you get links too fast, you can be penalized from Google.

    Why not forums and blog comments?I don't overdo that.I do guest blogging, but I want other kind of link building.What do you think?With only guest blogging it won't work?

    My op page is OK.

    Analyze your competitor SEO. You can use tools such as market samurai or serpbook
    After you see your competitors SEO details such as type of backlinks, you can see what you don't have for your own site

      make sure that you also link to your backlinks. It will make them them stronger and will force the indexation for the search engines.

    I also do the same thing but my keyword is very competitive and my target region is Google.com
    Same thing is happening with me as you are facing with your website. I really don't know why it is happening. I only make dofollow, high PR and low OBL backlinks only.

    You will get penalized only if you start using blackhat link building methods and get links in an unnatural way. For instance, if you buy tons of low-quality irrelevant links in a day, or leave hundreds of spammy forum and blog comments.

    But if you earn high-quality links that come from authoritative relevant websites/blogs, etc., you will be totally fine. Even if some of your posts goes viral and you get lots of links within a short period, it's ok.

    No there is no limit of creating back links, you can create as much back links you like but remember not to spam.

    I can't stress enough the importance of the relevance of the places you are building your links on. If it's not related to your business, you are spamming the internet and Google hates you.

    diversify your links, directories, etc. build links to your inner pages(other posts, etc). check your on site seo for issues with css, loading speed, meta, titles, headers, etc. make sure your primary keywords are in the titles, domain, etc. make sure you're not flagged on security sites as well. good luck
