How to Rank - A Quick Guide for Newbies

lightningblitz said:

I have seen enough of the 'How do I rank?'; 'What tools do I need?' and 'My Site wont RANK!' posts to last me a life time. Every week someone asks how to rank and every month I find myself answers the same set of PMs and am seeing the same threads. I decided to make a short guide on how to rank, and how to learn SEO rather than asking the same pointless questions which have been answered a hundred times before.


DISCLAIMER:

I am not selling anything. I do consulting for sites in my down time but I do not plan to sell ANYTHING on BHW. The good graces here have taught me everything I know, that and TESTING. Do NOT PM me asking me to tell you why your site is not ranking. If you have a specific question I am always open to help, but helping is not doing everything for you. If you want more specific help and are willing to work I can take a look but will not lay out a complete system. You need to do the work your self. I am a single person who does SEO work and have no team, so please be nice.

Also, no fancy images or maps in any of my threads. I apologize, you need to actually read. I will not go over some of the steps in incredible depth. The reason is these sections have been done. The rest I will give you enough to rank.

Lastly, to those better than me at SEO, please refrain from bashing, just trying to give a little back.


Step One: KW Research

Hello great article,

I would like to work through this but I have some questions about each step. Anyone who is willing to help with some good knowledge then I will surely listen.

In Step #2

"Step Two: Buffer / Pumper Sites


With every project I start and I want to rank, I build a few 2.0s right away with a single filler article and I let them age. It does depend on KW competition to some extent. For a super easy KW I will build 10 2.0s and let them start aging. For a higher competition I build at least 20.

A Web 2.0 is a blog. Blogger, Wordpress, Tumbler, ect. You want to build your 2.0s as Do - Follow links. You can get No - Follow in a far easier way and I prefer to work with as much efficacy as possible.

After a few weeks, I add an article with a link. The article on your 2.0s can be all the same exact article if you want to save money. Take your article, manually edit the copy for as many 2.0s as you have. Then put it through a spinner. Once it is spun, re - read it and edit out mistakes. Now you have as many unique articles as you need. Do not complicate things here. Make it unique manually, make sure it can be read and it will stick.

Depending on your KW selection depends what anchor you use for the 2.0. If you pick easy competition KWs, you will not need stronger links like SAPE / PBN / Guest Posts. Do not complicate things. If your KW is easy, the 2.0s should have mostly exact anchor match. The 2.0s adds authority to your site and will be your 'power' links. For higher competition, 2.0s will just be for authority.

These 2.0s will become pumper sites in a later step, but you should build them first and let them age.

Re - Cap: Depending on your KW competition, build 10 - 20+ 2.0s and let them age. Make them on Do - Follow platforms. "


*Questions*


The web 2.0 sites can these be anything like blogspot weebly etc and if so can they be the sub domains or must I purchase domains ( example can I use http: // www sitename . blogspot dot com ? )

When you say you build 10 - 20 web 2.0 sites is this just for one key word, will I need 10 - 20 per KW ?

The put an article on the 2.0 site without a link but in a few weeks add another article with an anchor link to my site ?

Will I continue to add articles to these web 2.0 sites?

Thanks for any clarification you can provide !!
