What Ranking Methods working atm? Not a newbie..

Hello,

I used to rank sites with GSA/SER. Its been more than 1 year, since I ranked a site at #1 position.
So I have been following, reading and watching new SEO tutes, for a clue on how to get on #1 in google.

Here are the things I Did,

1.Spam the hell out with GSA SER, (this worked 1.5 years ago)

2.Watched matthew woodward's all the tutes on youtube and on blackhat forums.
And bought Ultimate Demon, BuzzBundle. and Understood, Matthew was just promoting tools just to earn affiliate commission. Ultimate Demon sucks and GSA SER is way better. BuzzBundle doesn't do what promises, can't even login to google or atleast, yahoo answers.

3.Created web 2.0s manually, tons of tons web 2.0s for different sites. Linking to main $ site as well as authority sites.

4.Followed sudo method:
http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...-method-sudos-churn-burn-lead-generation.html

5.Followed PBN with few expired domains under different hosts and different names, which having related articles as money site. And linking to money site. (Don't have the thread link with me, sorry)

6.Tried web 2.0s as tier 1 and then Social Bookmarks, High PR forum profiles, edu & gov backlinks as tier 2. And spam on tier 3.

7.Recently bought FCP networker and started creating web 2.0s and social bookmarks..

No matter what I try, nothing on SEO working for me.
I just have only 1 site ranked #1, which I ranked at the end of year 2013.

SO Please, if anyone can point me to a right direction. That would be greatly appreciated.

I got these tools,
GSA SER
GSA CB
Ultimate Demon
Scrapebox
BuzzBundle (maintenance license expired)
and indexing, proxy subscriptions + SSD VPS.

I do not need spoon feeding, Just share what's working for you.
thanks a lot

According to a recent discussion I saw, nothing works any more so just give up and roll over :faint:

Social signals and on page SEO

The irony, not a newbie but thinks Matts blog is a good source of information, a blog designed to take money off.......................newbies.

yes, I know I sound stupid.
forgive me for that.

Focus on developing an authority site and promoting it via all means of digital marketing (even PPC if your budget allows; at least with remarketing to start). It all depends on your niche, each niche is sort of unique in terms of how you'd attract your target market but in general, good on-page SEO, a good content strategy and social media presence should help build a following overtime which ='s website authority and Google is looking to rank based on BRAND authority now.

It's funny that Matthew advocates link building and has all this great content (no doubt took time to produce), yet with his own blog he didn't take that same approach. He does have some good stuff on there though, like BuzzBundle recommendation which is awesome for SMM.

web 2.0, own pbn, social marketing all working. The main problem is indexing. Google taking time and mostly no index for created web2.0. pbn etc. Create web2.0 and focus on indexing. Don't just blast web 2.0 with GSA. You need to create manual quality link.

Did you build a website around a Silo structure? Its doing wonders for me. I know that its nothing new, but it still works.

I'm following this guide at the moment: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...-using-silo-structure-long-term-rankings.html

I recently built a website on a good expired domain around this structure in a low-medium competition niche, and its hitting the top positions already for some of its keywords, its only been a little over 1 month.

Edit: For link building, I'm using expired/high authority web 2.0s and diversifying the link profile using press releases, guest posts etc.

You must be banking hard for you to be able to purchase Buzzfeed Pretty sure you mean Buzz Bundle

You might wanna try Matt Woodward's guide on how to set up a PBN in order to rank a site in any niche (read that with a British accent haha). You dont need to enroll in his program and get his shiny certificate, the video series he released basically outlines the stuff he is doing.

yes. thanks for the correction. I bought it during a promo period, i think at the end of last year.
thanks for the advice too. (y)

All methods still work, just that spam is better put pretty far away from your money site.

thank you so much.
no, I haven't tried Silo, its totally new to me.

Greetings OP,

Youtube Traffic, Paid traffic, Social Signals etc.
these are all methods of getting traffic and ranks.

What Ive been doing.

Build a website silo style on wordpress. (just going to summarize your job to dig deeper)

SITE

Pages - articles im trying to rank that are the money terms
- good onpage, nofollow all links.
- long articles, that read easy. Have the wife read it over if she thinks its looks good and reads good, then your good.

Posts - filler content that links to pages(money terms).
- All posts link to pages even if they dont have a parent page. You must let the link juice flow.
- Some posts rank for just traffic kws because they are really easy, even if they dont make me money. I do try to convince them to buy, just because Im greedy.
- All pages get links, even if they are generic. Helps with over optimization and brings more link power to your site. So if you send 1000 links to one page you can easy get link spam violation. But if you have 10 links to one hundred pages, then your more likely to flow under radar.

Uselesspages - Get yoast plugin and nonidex pages that just suck up juice. Ever noticed how your contact me form gets spammed for no damn reason. Its because its linked to by every page on your site. So it naturally sucks up link juice. (read phpbuild kw denisty - search on forum for phpbuilt) No index all thous useless pages and tags.

Sight speed - wordfence has a nice speed setting on it, think its called falcon, get that shit. Sight speed helps you rank.

OFFSITE

I build links slowly. I let that site linger for a month or so just put up content and just work on site. I tweak shit like site speed, onpage, internal links(all posts link to at least 2 to 3 pages or posts) and layout. I get that shit just right then I link build links. By that time My crap is indexing on its own.

Web 2.0s - use rankwyz or fcsnetworker build a bunch of web2.0 - in free time tweak web2.0 : about me, contact, blah blah. Let them make a couple posts then GSA that shit. You want your web 2.0 to index before posting money site links.

I set my web 2.0s to auto post, so every couple days they will get some random garbage post that rankwyz as posted to them. Every now and then Ill log into rankwyz reset the messed up web 2.0's, buy a couple more, then post an money link article to live sites.

Let GSA constantly run to all web 2.0's. You dont have to go over board but you know link to them. Always link harder to subdomain and money article. (i rarely use web2.0s that are not subdomains)

I rarely build web2.0 manually anymore, ill go back and tweak some web2.0s to make them more legit if im bored.

Profile links - Buy some hi pr profile links. Buy them, you have better things to do with your time, they are cheap. I dont recommend a provider because they are about all the same.

Let them set for a couple days, put them in GSA and spam the fuck out of them. Im talking like 1000 links per profile. Check them everynow and then and replace them accordingly. After time these bitches will become strong links.

PBN posts - I dont buy my own site and build them out. Takes money, time, content to keep them going. I buy cheap pbn posts from random providers. Some providers are better than others, some will index and others wont. Its just the nature of the beast. You can always use linkauthority(add one of your pbn sites and get free posting credits), I use them. Those posts seem to be better than the average shitty pbn provider.

So back to shitty pbn posts: use them to backlink web2.0, profile links, guest posts, better pbn links, some to your site. **protip** pbn providers dont link backlinks to there sites, so use a 301 url shortner and spam that bastard instead.

I will posts some of those not great pbn posts because I have large link diversity by the time I use PBNs. I dont go overboard and I dont blast, I let them drip feed and I focus on more than just money articles. Remember what I said 100 posts with 10 links is better than 1 page with 1000 links.

GSA - Set that shit up right. Follow mathews advice or his guest poster whom ever the f that was. Just dont go crazy with links, where using GSA for link diversity. You know those directory links or article links you dont want to make but need to for diversity. Usually, I reserve GSA for just diversity and generic kw links.

Use GSA to boost everything else. It should be linking to everything that has your link. Hell Ill even link to a comment link if its do follow and im the only one there. Use your imagination here.

Manual Links - Manual comments on niche related blogs, search forum plenty of information here. Make a couple of forum profiles niche related. Make a couple of posts then try to add a link. Keep the profile active for awhile then GSA the pages with your links.

Link Velocity

Firstmonth - Build site make it water tight.

second to third - generic link building, to posts, pages, home page. You can put your money kws here but I dont. I build huge kw diversity so I dont have to worry about it later. (in my backlink profile on majestic - my main kw is sitting at 4% right now.)

4month + This is when it starts getting fun. Your link diversity should be golden by now so you can easily just start pumping out money kws with out fear. Your site should have some nice link juice flowing through it already because you have shit loads of posts with links to them.
Your web2.0s should be indexing by now so you can start pumping money articles to them. You should start buying profile links and blasting the holly hell out of them.

Post/buy a couple of high pr links to a PBN or guest post. Then buy a low quality PBN posting service and just have them blanket : web2.0, profile links, high pr posts and site a little bit.

End - Good luck to you.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Thats right, non indexing and deindexing has the weapon Google has used to continually tighten the noose around cheap SEO.

Solve the indexing problem, and you'll rank (assuming you have good content and don't leave footprints).

Matt Woodward is not a SEO, not a good or honest one anyway.

What Matt Woodward is good at is pretending hes an SEO.

Don't read blogs, true SEO gurus are not writing blogs about spammy tools and telling us how much other people made each month.

Real SEO guru's do not live in 3rd world countries.

thank you,
it took me more than $500 to understand that.
Stupid me.
