I tried all off page activities like bookmarking, forum, guest blogging, article submission,Blog submission and commenting. Still there is no effect on the keywords of my website. Website is relate to SEO. Any suggestions to increase ranking of this website?
Well, if you’ve been reading other threads in these forums, you’ll know that the most important thing is to have high-quality, unique content on your site. In a highly-competitive area like SEO, where there are so many sites on the subject, then excellent content is even more important, to help you stand out from the crowd.
As we’ve said repeatedly elsewhere, any backlinks which you can obtain easily for yourself in forums, blog commenting or wherever will be regarded as of little worth by the search engines. Instead of wasting your time on these activities, concentrate on improving your content. If you want to rank above your competitors, then you’ll need to have better content than they have.
The 5-6 things you mentioned in your thread should do the trick for you if done properly. What is your exact procedure to do these tasks. Are you using the same username and description for your social bookmarking? if yes then please change it to a different username and different description for every bookmark , Are you placing links in signature in forums? get rid of this process and place the links rather within your comments, same goes with blog commenting. And always use unique content for your article submission, blogging work. Follow these instructions and spend 3-4 hours daily and you should see a great change in your SERP within couple of months.
Just to be quite clear before anybody thinks of taking this advice:
This forum, like many others marks all external links as nofollow, so link-dropping in your posts will not get you backlinks, but may well get you banned.
Just out of interest … if your website is about SEO, and you’re asking for really basic advice about SEO … how have you got a website about it?
I echo your thoughts. But i am a beginner in SEO.
I thank you all for taking time out to answer my question. I will try to implement these tips to my website.
How about good content on the website? I pay more attention to topical websites while doing all the off-page strategies you mentioned above. Guest blogging works for me but only on quite trusted topical websites.
Make sure you have done all the link building processes for high page rank website. Are that sites relevant to your website? Don’t go for working in bulk amount always try to do less but effective and quality work. Getting backlinks from low quality sites can give you adverse effect.
Well, I think focusing on ranking alone will lead you to make worst things to your site. If you ever noticed, there are lots of websites about SEOs that discuss almost everything about this field without getting any benefit. Sure they offer good contents for users. However, due to hundreds of giants out there, they are having a hard time getting the attention of the public.
I suggest to focus on a certain field in SEO and make something good out there. If you have time, try to visit Jon Cooper’s blog of Point Blank SEO. He focuses on link building only. and you will see that he actually excels. You can choose a certain topic in SEO and try to focus there for some time. In this way, you can make a good plan of targeting your audience based on their needs about the certain topic. In this way, you can naturally give real value to real people and eventually organic link backs can be gained. Google loves them.
Revise again your link building techniques and try to stay away from black hat practices. Check as well if your site is penalized by Google before attempting to change your marketing plan.
Having said that, you need to invest more time in social media marketing and content building. Try to get into guest posting and link baiting for high quality backlinks.
