Ok so I posted this in the blogging section but that was in the blackhat forum? So anyway I thought I would post this here since I am interested in going whitehat.
I started the whole blog thing about a year ago today. Had some ups and downs of course. I decided it was time to take a step back and examine my sites to make sure they are performing at their best. SO I thought I would post and ask for a bit of help.
For the record I did make many errors and fixed most of them and fixed a few more recently. I spent the last 3 months researching, reading and fixing what I could find wrong. I started this after I noticed my posts were not ranking very well at all.
I've done a lot of reading on WP optimization as well + revisited my KW strategy (it was a total mess before I learned more about how to use them and how many)
Here are the points:
-Wordpress Site
-Premium WP Theme
-Paid Hosting
-Paid Domain
-Hand written articles and reviews by myself did not our source this (11 total)
-no tags
-no sidebar except for social media links
-no calendar, archives or author page
-Each article has one focus KW and 3 others (long tails + some normal)
-Each article links to another of my articles (interlinking)
-Each article links to outside sources
-Each article links to social media and vice versa
-Sitemap updated and submitted to google
-Some links contain my keyword as anchor text
I should also mention I have started Tier 1 links on some of my sites, they are all manually made very carefully.
I am currently using amazon but I am now exploring my options and thinking about using adsense in some blogs and click bank in others so I have a nice mix.
My adsense is an aged account. I think its over 6 years old. I have been paid by them a few times already through other projects and experiments.
No longer looking for a keyword tool. I decided to go with long tail pro and scrapebox rank checker since I already had scrapebox.
Anything I missed? Hopefully Google crawls the site soon and the updates/fixes help.
Hoping you SEO geniuses can help!
Thank You!
