As the author of a well known SEO book and a variety of do it yourself info products about SEO, I often get asked questions about the best SEO techniques. Other than using the traditional search engine related best practices I have discovered a few techniques that outperform others significantly.
My reason for believing that some techniques are really best kept secrets is because they are not talked about in SEO forums or within even some of the top SEO products. You might ask yourself why these aren't discussed. The answer is simple. Some secrets, if shared may dilute the effectiveness of the technique.
If you are thinking about SEO and you are anything like me, you probably want the fastest, quickest, most effortless way to put your website on top of search engine result lists. You think about the value of having the number one position. The result is traffic, higher ad revenue, sales, and so on.
I can promise you, as someone who makes a living selling online products, that being ranked number one makes a significant difference in your online results. The difference between a top ranking and receiving a lower ranking for your particular niche means making a living online or falling short of your online goals.
Okay, so what are some of these "secrets"? I would be happy to share one at no charge. Let me begin by saying that not every secret is complex or all that unique. Often times, secrets are simply techniques that applies in a unique way, create a significant difference. That is how I view these SEO secrets simply because they probably wont move mountains but can have a dramatic impact on your search engine rankings whether you have a website, blog, or squeeze page that you want to promote.
The secret is simple. If you want to achieve number one rankings for any keyword, then you simply need to follow the same strategy being used by the top ranked website for that keyword. Does this technique sound too simple? If you answered yes, then I ask you to ask yourself if you are using it today. This technique may be simple but it is not easy. To be as successful as the number one ranked website you need to discover what he is doing to be ranked number one. Top rankings do not happen by chance.
Start taking advantage of this by analyzing the links into your competitor's website. This can be done using Alexa or Google. When links are made to your competitors site, this is referred to as back links. These in-bound links often contain text inclusive of the keywords you are optimization for. Attempt to get links from the same sites with your keywor phrase included. This will help you to quickly match your competitors linking strategy.
The obvious challenge here is not only finding who is linking to your competitor, but to actually build links from the same web pages. This if often easier said than done. The good news is that there are a number of software programs that can help you do this. I've personally used a number of them and can tell you that they work.
If you follow this technique and discover the road map of success left by your competitors, you can dramatically improve your website ranking for the specific keywords you choose. It takes work however so start your research and being building the right kind of links to your website. The results will amaze you.
