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.
Basically Google's situation is like one of those cartoons where a ship is sinking, and every hole you plug, there's a new hole leaking water into the ship. It's not a perfect algo and it never will be. You have to test stuff out for yourself to get the leaks they haven't plugged yet because nobody will tell you about the leak they found for obvious reasons.
But if you're interested in white hat hat stuff this post is a great starting point. SEO in a nutshell is just great onpage factors and the rest is how good you are at getting links.
I'll add some ways of getting links that work wonders for me in whitehat niches:
Blog giveaways
It baffles me why seos gladly spend $XX or even $XXX monthly for blackhat links, but there's no talk about doing giveaways.
- go to an established blogger in a general, broad niche. If it's a personal blogger all the better.
- ask about advertising on their blog. They will reply immediately. Ask for details about daily visits etc which most of them will gladly give out because most bloggers are broke and desperate.
- once you've established that they have a good enough following, offer to host your giveaway on their blog, the only requirement to enter the giveaway is for the entrants to make a new entry and paste some code on it. The code will of course contain a link to your blog.
why this works:
bloggers are always looking for content, and they have to update their blogs almost daily lest their audience lose interest. It's a full time job with shit pay.
you come along and say, "hey, you get to give your audience something to get excited about, I'm giving out the prizes, at no cost to you.
The only time I've been rejected is when I accidentally contacted a blogger who managed to use her fame to launch an acting career. Obviously she didn't care too much about the blog anymore.
you get natural backlinks, from natural sites, and a lot of the time I even get links from more established sites (TF25) whose owners really wanted a chance to get my giveaway item.
It doesn't cost as much as PBN or blackhat links if you add up the costs over months of renting links and they are less likely to trip any filters.
The giveaway entry posts linking to your site will get comments, shares, etc from the respective blogs' followers, so there are some tier elements going on.
Twists:
- instead of posts, use images. You can get them to make quotes using recite.com, and post it on their sites. You get google images exposure and also images are easier to get shared than written posts. Don't forget to get them to include your url/hastag in the image with the quote
- instead of linking straight to your site, get them to link to a tumblr or other web2.0. People here keep going on and on about high PR web2.0s, but the reality is that if you're only relying on the root domain's authority, you won't get really far. Get people to link to your web2.0 to build up the juice, and link to your money site from there. Plus this way you can redirect the juice to other properties in the future if need be.
Do this 2 or three times, and you'll get enough links to rank for most easy to medium keywords. Not to mention direct traffic from the blogs themselves. And you get to "network" with bloggers.
Happy building!
