SAMPLE RESULTS (click)

Here are the two most important data that you need to know in order to understand the benefit of what we do for you…

  • Backlink popularity is one of two components needed to achieve high search engine ranking on Google. Many SEO experts consider that it is considered by Google with greater weight and importance than the other component which is optimization of the website itself.
  • We guarantee you high Google PR rank links back to your website. And we know from actual experience that we can deliver those links and that this will result in indexed pages and higher visibility.

TESTIMONIALS

I have been very pleased with the SEO work provided by Garko.
He has achieved numerous top rankings for pertinent keyword phrases on Google including some high competition keyword phrases related to my alternative fuel website.
He has been extremely accessible and easy to work with and willing to provide good service. He is constantly working to upgrade his service.

SAMPLE PRICING (click)

Do you wish that you could instantly gain the attention of the top web 2.0 social and bookmarking sites on the internet, which Google’s spiders LOVE? This is what we will do for you, thereby, creating thousands of high authority links back to your website

SAFER AND MORE EFFECTIVE

Google will credit your site with backlinks from two layers of high authority sites… pages on social networking sites posted to bookmarking pages in turn. This gives you backlink credit on Google while buffering your site against Google penalties.
KEYWORDS…

You provide us the keywords that you want to have in your anchor text, website titles, etc and we will use up to 10 ofthese along with some that we will suggest for you

You will also be asked for 2-3 articles about your industry – informative articles, not sales letters. Besides being more appreciated by the owners and visitors of the social networking sites, informative articles build trust with potential clients for your services more so than a promotional sales letter would. So we get better results to the degree that you provide articles that have genuinely useful information and demonstrate your expertise in your field of service.

UNIQUE CONTENT

So that Google is happy with the unique content that we are putting online we will be posting your articles online in such a fashion that the content of the article will be at least 30% different from one place that it is posted compared to how it appears any other place. The meaning of the content is the same, we just rotate synonyms so that the article reads differently in each instance while saying the same thing. This is a proprietary service and one of the features that makes our services more sophisticated. Other companies just put out the same article in multiple places and this negates the value of what they do since Google is not too happy with duplicate content.

OBJECTIVES

Based upon experience, the way that it usually proceeds is that your articles will start to populate the top 10 rankings for the targetted keyword phrases on Google page 1.

Then it has happened that we get a majority of the links (or even all of them) and at some point your actual website will also start to appear on the top 10 linkings. If you have several pages that we can promote then you will start seeing multiple pages in the top 10. Again, this is not a guarantee but this is what we have experienced with other clients as demonstrated above. The only guarantee that we can provide is that we will do the same for you as we have for other clients and that your site will have 1000s of “high authority” sites linking to yours and that this will cause your website’s ranking on Google to improve.

I will look forward to receiving your email

Website Popularity Services SEO Advantages

1. i do not gain access to the client’s site, no trust factor to hurdle there.
i do not change a blessed thing on the client’s site.
2. our objective is domination of the client’s keyword phrases with two or more results in the top 10 not just one. sometimes i can achieve 6 results or even all 10.
These results are comprised of pages from high authority websites that link to the client’s site and pages from the client’s site itself.
3. since our success is based upon (high) volume of links to the client’s site from well entrenched and highly regarded (by major search engine) websites this has two additional effects…
a. stability of the rankings – your site won’t drop off the top 10 just because Google changed their algorithm again. Google does this so often because they are seeking to outwit the search engine optimization “experts” and keep them on their toes. and each time that Google makes a major change, which is several times per year, these “experts” scramble to figure out what Google just did and how to get their client’s sites back in top positions.  One thing that doesn’t change though, is that Google will always give high ranking to a site that is popular and this popularity is demonstrated in the number of links pointing to the site and the quality of the sites that are linking to it.
b. potential prospects can find the pages that I create for the client by searching on the web 2.0 sites where I create those pages. so this is another way that the links to the client’s site can be found besides on Google results. For instance, if I have created a page for the client on Friendster, someone visiting Friendster can search the Friendster search engine and find the client’s page.
so, the quick version…
  • no monkeying with the client’s website
  • objective is domination not just squeaking one listing into the top 10 but occupying multiple positions so that if someone searches Google for that phrase there is a strong chance that they will end up on the client’s site.
  • greater stability of the attained positions in the top 10 for client’s keyword phrases, not falling off each time that Google sneezes!
  • additional visibility on the internet so that prospects for our clients can find the client’s websites in multiple ways not just via Google.
these are some advantages.

SEO Worthwhile For Local Businesses?

Email webmaster@website-popularity.info or call Garko at 818 754 9561

June 2006 -  43% of search engine users now use search engines to find local services. Local search is a growing force. So saying ‘I only do business in my own town’ probably isn’t a good argument for ignoring the internet any more.

- 60% of activity online is one way or another “related to local content” (Google 5/03)- For every one dollar U.S. consumers spend online, another five or six are going to offline purchases that are influenced by online research (MIT Technology Review, April 2005, “E-Commerce Gets Smarter“)

so in addition to these stats you can consider that for local businesses…
1. either they will be on page 1 or their competitor will be. which would they prefer?
2. almost all successful internet marketing is niche-based. even Amazon is niche based despite its size because when someone goes to Amazon it is, more often than not, looking for some specific thing. so in the case of local businesses, the niche is the city and the thing that the business provides. but they need to be able to be visible online for those people in that niche or else they don’t exist.

factorsOne of the most important things a small business can do with its listing in the Google Local Business Center is choose the right category(ies). In fact, “Associating LBL w/Proper Categories” scored very highly in last year’s Local Search Ranking Factors survey (see image at right).

Mike Blumenthal, aka Professor Maps, has just released a tool that he previewed last week at GetListed Local University in Spokane. It’s a searchable database of categories in Google’s Local Business Center. If you’re not sure how to choose the right category for your business, this tool makes it easier so you can get your listing correct right from the start.

You can access the tool here. And here’s Mike’s brief explanation of how it works.

Add this one to your bookmark folder of “Local Search Tools.” Good stuff.

Steal this SEO FAQ: 30+ SEO Questions You Always Wanted an Answer to

Email webmaster@website-popularity.info or call Garko at 818 754 9561

Recently I’ve read one of those awfully misguided anti-SEO posts. It linked to another blog post called SEO FAQ. It wasn’t an actual SEO FAQ though. It was just another awfully misguided blog post from a guy I have never heard of before and who only reveled in the attention he got from displaying his ignorance. People got angry as usual in such cases of blatant provocation and disregard.

Sadly the Google algorithm still sometimes prefers those who raise hell instead of those who provide useful resources.

So that completely useless SEO FAQ ranks at #2 for SEO FAQ in Google.com and misleads lots of people looking for answers to most basic SEO questions.

Thus I decided to provide a new SEO FAQ. I want to outrank this fake resource. Also I want you to copy these questions and to provide your own answers on your own blog.

I want to see 10 or more real SEO FAQs to outrank this crap. So feel free to copy the questions I’ve compiled with the help of some SEO practicionares from all over the Web and to provide your own answers. I will link your answers in this post as well. So steal this SEO FAQ: 30+ SEO questions you always wanted an answer to.

Some of the Q&As might sound funny, especially the original tweets they’re based on. We had a lot of fun while collecting the questions and answers.

  1. What does SEO stand for? The acronym stands for Search Engine Optimization but by now it’s not only about search and engines anymore. See 2.
  2. What is SEO? To define SEO is not an easy task as it’s changing all the time. In 2010 the SEO definition might sound something like this: Everything done to ensure getting found on the Internet and to make sure that the ensuing traffic converts.
  3. Is SEO spam, bullshit, dead etc.? Who knows. The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, BBC etc. certainly don’t think so. They practice SEO like most of other website owners. Last time I checked all the people who blame SEO for global warming, the Iraq war, the global economic crisis have optimized their websites according to SEO techniques. By the numbers SEO is booming all the time for several years a in a row.
  4. Why aren’t we #1 or on page 1 at Google? You haven’t done SEO yet? You have no content? Your site consists mainly of Flash, AJAX or simply graphics? You have asked Jason Calacanis or Derek Powazek for SEO advice? Also you most probably rank for long tail queries already. Question by @rishil and @peteyoung – Answer by @IngoGuava
  5. Why am I on #1 all the time but when my wife searches for me she doesn’t find me? Maybe you need a divorce? No, just kidding. You probably need to disable personalized search. Otherwise Google will serve you the results you most desire.
  6. When will we see results? It will take a while depending on what results you expect what for. Some keywords might even take a year or more while others may work after weeks or months. Perform a thorough keyword and market research first to know. Also SEO is basically a continuous process that never stops. Question by @IngoGuava, @tonyboney and @DolphinPromo – Answer by @IngoGuava
  7. Can we rank for iPhones? Do you sell iPhones? Are you a representative of Apple? Do you sell iPhones globally or just nation-wide? Do you want to spend 50k+$ on SEO monthly? Then maybe yes. Question by @rhyswynne – Answer by @rhyswynne
  8. Can we rank for everything (huge list of keywords)? If you are Jeff Bezos and your site is Amazon you probably can. In all other cases you have to choose and set preferences. You have to determine your main keywords, a few of them, and go after them. Your main keywords are the most popular and profitable ones. A hotel in London would go after hotel london probably and similar combinations.  Question by @maxyRo
  9. How much does SEO cost? How much does a car cost, or a house? First we need to know what kind of car or house you need then we can try to assess the price. Otherwise we can just say somewhere in between 1k and 1 million dollars per month. Everything below 1k is low quality and/or automated.  Question by @seowolf
  10. Why is SEO so expensive? Why are cars and houses so expensive? Because it takes lots of time, resources and work to build them. Besides SEO makes your website actually earn money while setting up website and designing it by itself does not. So at the end of the day SEO earns more money that it takes. Also remember that SEO is not just like a house or car. It’s more like a shop or a hotel when it comes to the house metaphor and it’s more like a race car when it comes to the car metaphor.
  11. How long does it take to get indexed by Google? Google needs minutes to weeks depending on your site to index it or new content appearing on it. Without SEO it might even take forever.
  12. How to submit my new site to Google/Bing/Yahoo etc.? You don’t submit sites to search engines these days. You link to them from already indexed sites, you ping them via blog posts and or you submit an XML sitemap.
  13. How do I submit to 1000 search engines? Only idiots do. There are only a handful of search engines that you need at all. Google, Bing, Yahoo and Ask in the US. Mostly Google in the UK and elsewhere in Europe.
  14. Do I need an XML sitemap? Depending on your site you may or may not need one.
  15. Do I need meta tags for SEO? No, the meta description tag is good for search users though who might decide whther they click on yours based on the description you offer.
  16. Do I need a high PageRank for SEO? You need internal Pagerank for your site to get indexed. Toolbar PageRank (the green bar in your Google toolbar) is not a prerequisite.
  17. What is linkbait? There are at least two common definitions of linkbait (or link bait). One negative and one positive. The negative one says that it’s luring people to link to you for a reason they normally wouldn’t. The positive one explains that linkbait is a highly linkable masterfully crafted peace of content people not only like but also recommend to others by linking.
  18. Can’t my niece who is a graphic designer do the SEO? She probably can cook as well but you probably would go to a restaurant nonetheless. Designers in most case underestimate the importance of SEO and misunderstand it. They assume that the designer should be decide how a website should be build and when the site is done, they, or rather their clients realize that they’re not even indexed by Google. SEO should be part of website design not just a add on. An open minded designer can provide a good findable site architecture that works for SEO as well. S/he in most cases needs an SEO expert to accomplish that task.
  19. Can’t my nephew who is a web developer do the SEO? Many old school SEO professionals have started out as web developers. Nonetheless they had to focus on other non-technical SEO techniques. A good web developer can provide roughly one third of the skills you need for SEO. Sadly most web developers are clueless about SEO beyond the most common basics.
  20. Can my son-in-law who is a Perl, Java and C programmer do my SEO? Programmers often underestimate the difficulty of SEO and attempt to to attain rankings by creating scripts that automatically enhance websites. This is a very risky business as it often crosses the thin line of waht’s allowed by teh search engine guidelines.
  21. Why should I outsource my SEO? SEO is a full time job for a person or requires a whole team with several skills ranging from web development, content creation to marketing. Unless you have at least one experienced full time SEO inhouse it is strongly advised to seek assistance from a SEO compnay or consultant. Question by @seowolf
  22. Can’t I just use WordPress plus plugins for SEO? You can but it’s not enough. Nowadays most modern CMS and blog software has built in technical SEO capabilities. To outrank others who use mostly SEO friendly software as well you have to stick out.
  23. Does Google hate SEO? No, Google even offers SEO advice and a plethora of SEO tools itself. It’s an ages old myth that Google fight SEOs. In fact the Google employees and SEO practitioners speak at the same conferences and work together as business partners. Most SEO companies are big clients of Google as they also buy PPC ads from Google.
  24. Does SEO mean optimization for search engines spiders not humans? Some people still assume that SEO is used to please search bots only. Most reputable SEO experts advocate search engine optimization for users.
  25. Is buying links, hidden text, IP delivery etc. black hat SEO? Some techniques considered by many a s SEO are also considered black hat. Still most them can be used ethically as well so only the context can tell you when a particular measure is black or white hat.
  26. Is black hat SEO legal? The question to ask should rather be whether black hat SEO is recommended. No it is not. Most of it is probably still legal, depending on the technique. It pays only for the few who do it on large scale.
  27. Does site size matter? Historically it did matter. For a period of time bigger sites by the sheer number of pages seemed to rank batter. By now the pros and cons outweigh each other – so it does not makes sense to inflate the size of a website artificially by adding low quality content.
  28. Do domain extensions (top level domains like .com, co.uk) matter? Yes they do. Especially when it comes to country based domains like .fr, .de or .es – for local results in respective countries you should use preferably a country domain to get a small advantage. Also many in the SEO industry assume that .edu and .gov domains are trusted more by Google. Google itself has denied that explaining that .edu and .gov domains get more links and thus Google trusts them more. Question by @Ramkarthik
  29. Do nofollow links count? Indeed it has long been known that Yahoo doesn’t discount nofollow links completely. It also seems that Google makes exceptions as well.

One of the most valuable components of an SEO campaign is the correlation of aligning keywords and landing pages.

Mapping Keywords and Landing Pages

How to Optimize Keywords and Landing Pages

During the early stages of optimization, it is not uncommon to depend on the authority of the homepage to act as a “catch all” page for your websites most coveted keywords. However, the homepage has been proven as one of the least likely places to facilitate conversion.

Considering that rankings are “by the page” the real objective of search engine optimization is to identify and solidify on page factors to communicate a hierarchical chain of relevance within a website to convey which pages are optimal for the keyword or key phrases in question.

One way to do that is through unifying four vital metrics within the site architecture and on page metrics.

1)      Allintitle: a metric that assesses the local and global term weights for keywords in the titles.

2)      Allintext: a metric that assess the local and global term weights for keywords in the body text.

3)      Allinanchor: a metric that assess the local and global term weights for keywords in anchor text (both from within the site and from other sites to individual pages).

4)      Allinurl: a metric that assesses relevance based on mirroring keywords in the URL naming conventions, subfolders or sub domains.

Follow the link ror more information about allintitle, allintext and allinanchor or how to use Google search operators for SEO.

By consolidating these prominent SEO ranking factors through structured search operators and employing SEO by design rather than trying to go back and fix a leaky bucket, it is possible to improve the relevance score for individual keywords systematically as a result of holistic structure, planning and execution.

Consider this your SEO ecosystem which allows each seed (keyword) to become fertile, nourish itself and bear fruit.

In this case, the fruit is to appear in the top 1000 results of Google, make its way to the top 100 and then either use other pages to reinforce topicality and buoyancy and move into the top 10 spotlight.

Step 1: For a landing page to have the proper on page signals to capture a competitive keyword it will require structured dedication and citation such as:

  • Enough content on the page (based on the keyword).
  • Enough content within the site (to cross the tipping point).
  • Enough links from within the site (to establish the internal pages hierarchy)
  • Enough links from other sites (if the on page elements are not enough).

Step 2: Planning -Finding the competitive keyword thresholds is not difficult, but assessing your own websites ranking potential is a mandatory step. We call this gap analysis (determining the objective and where you are at present).

In order to navigate the gap, it will require time, content, links and patience; and the more competitive the keyword, the more time, content, trust or links you will need to offset the barrier to entry.

Ideally, the most competitive keywords should be supported by:

  • Primary navigation
  • A keyword-rich subfolder
  • A keyword-rich page naming convention and title

Other metrics for consideration from a standpoint of relevance are:

  • Time: how old is the content, is it still relevant?
  • Popularity: How many citations are linking to it?
  • Supply / Demand: How many times has the page been accessed based on other pages in your website.
  • Value: Is the information authoritative, academic or educational or commercial (search engines are programmed with preference).

Step 3: Execution –Map a tiered site structure using theming and siloing to produce the necessary dynamic to propel your pages to the top of the SERPs (search engine result pages).

For your pages:

  • Use Exact Match keywords in titles for your primary keyword first, then add secondary or plural search engine proven synonyms (not exceeding three keyword variations).
  • Use Relevant Mata Data (Including Information only relevant for that page).
  • Use the exact match keyword in the H1 tag, and plural variations in H2 tag if needed.
  • Build internal links to that page from other pages that have theme relevance for the keyword (in the title). For example, link similarly themed pages using the anchor text you want the target page to rank for.
  • Use the keyword in the first 50 words of the page, and use it at least 2 other times in the document. Preferably you should employ alternate synonyms to reinforce topical relevance (without resorting to spam / keyword stuffed content).
  • Acquire inbound deep links to the page from other websites to provide sufficient peer review from search engines (since they measure citation as a favorable metric).

Taking the on page SEO to the next level implies sculpting relevance through the proper utilization of link equity, selecting your preferred landing pages and pairing those pages with a suitable value proposition, call to action and conversion action to facilitate the sales funnel.

Put simply:

  1. Choose a main category page for each dominant keyword.
  2. Use subordinate product or article pages to provide structured inbound internal links to support the main category pages.
  3. Build links to those 3rd or 4th tier pages to provide buoyant ranking factor to the entire keyword cluster (the aggregate semantic collective of related keywords). By building links to the deeper pages in a website, each page in the site above in the hierarchy or the root folder benefit as well.

In the 3rd example above, this alone becomes a priceless component of any SEO strategy. Under the notion that your website is only as strong as its weakest link, as long as each page is nurtured, connected through virtual theming (internal links) or a sitemap or secondary navigation, it can contribute to the global ranking potential for the entire website.

Don’t waste time or opportunity from relying on any one page in your website to do the heavy lifting. Instead, endow each page with vigor and ranking potency by adhering to the solid principles of SEO by design.

“Fantastic.” “Really great.” “Excellent.” “Very helpful.”

Those are the short versions of the feedback I received from speaking with four attendees after last week’s GetListed.org Local University Spokane seminars. And I feel the same way. It was an excellent day of local search marketing education, and the fact that this was a first-time event is almost mind-boggling. It just went so well. And to get reps from both Google and Bing to show up? Even better.

What stands out for me more than anything was the quality of the discussion and questions from the audience. It’s funny … at some of the bigger conferences, the Q&A time is sometimes the worst part of a session. But in Spokane, the Q&A sessions were all really good. We had smart audiences.

The folks from Klundt Hosmer, one of the sponsors, have shared their thoughts on the day. And here are a few of the tweets from attendees:

mchlldnn: Thanks to #localu crew for a fantastic seminar in Spokane today. Can’t wait to apply what we learned!

reilly3000: #LocalU what a great conference. You guys should beg getlisted.org to come to your city. Great stuff on local search and sm for all levels

Menkema: Getlisted.org’s conference has been incredibly helpful. Thnx @Google, @Ed_Reese & @mattmcgee #localu

I took some photos both during our low-key dinner gathering the night before Local U., and during the morning seminar. Here’s that slideshow.

You can find more photos on the Launchpad web site, too.

Plans are already underway for the next Local U. and I, for one, can’t wait.

VodafoneUK NOT to Hunt Beavers!

Welcome back to the weekly Twitter column. Yesterday many people on Twitter cried out in outrage about a misled tweet from @vodafoneuk – in it some apparently tweeting under the influence employee made a badly spelled comment about the hygiene of homosexuals.

Then the person also threatened to hunt for beavers!

This is indeed outrageous! As you probably know beavers are an endangered species and have been extinct a few years ago in the UK. Hunting them just to vent your anger is the last thing to do.

This would have been the end of the story as @vodafoneUK clearly stated that it was a breach of conduct. They will NOT hunt beavers. Sadly someone responsible for the renowned UK technology site Tecchuff made the same remarks twice on Twitter since then. Shame on you!

Do we have to witness a wide spread wave of anti-beaver misconduct in the British technology sector?

Also the British press widely reported the incident citing the tweet to make sure everybody who missed the anti-beaver message could read it.

In the meantime @VodafoneUK got additional 500+ followers in the recent days. According the Google Cache they had 8,500 of February, 2nd. During the “breach” they had 8,663. So it seems the good old saying “any publicity is good publicity” also applies here. Now they have approx. 9,050 followers.

There is even the possibility that this was a publicity stunt to get attention.

They may have “pulled a Calacanis” on purpose. They’ve got their brand mentioned all over the web and on several major British publications. Many of them linked to their Twitter account.

Even in the case it was a true blunder we’ve seen that such misconduct pays off.

Nobody seems to be really angry, not even the homosexuals. They probably don’t regard themselves as dirty while they are glad that VodafoneUK has outed itself as being at least bisexual. Still, animal cruelty is unacceptable. Where is PETA when you need them?

Stop the beaver hunt now!

Poor beaver! Our colleagues from SiteVisibility are outraged as well. In case this was done on purpose @VodafoneUK is really bad at being funny though. They should try some good old classy British humor.

Google Place Pages: Who Owns Them?

To Ask Questions Or Get Started
Email webmaster@website-popularity.info or call Garko at 818 754 9561

Small business owners: Just when you thought it was safe to send prospects and customers to your Google place page, think again. Google has added a new content section to place pages — recommendations of other nearby businesses. And as I point out on Search Engine Land, those recommendations often include your competition.

In that piece, I suggest this idea: If the small business has claimed its local business listing, then Google should turn off the nearby recommendations. Reward local businesses that claim their listing, don’t punish them.

The bigger question here is, who owns the place pages? The obvious and correct answer is Google; Google can do what it wants with place pages. But in Google’s never-ending quest to promote local business listings to small business owners — Google just sent a rep from Mountain View to Spokane for Thursday’s GetListed Local University seminar to show about 125 business how the LBC works — there’s never been any indication from Google that it might start showing information about other businesses on a place page.

It’s a strange thing for Google to do, that’s for sure. When I said I wanted more from Google’s place pages, this wasn’t what I had in mind….

SEO Tips for Website Architecture

What is the SEO threshold for a keyword when you need to add multiple layers of related content or amend the website architecture to embrace it as part of the topical theme of the site?

SEO Tips for Site Architecture

SEO Tips for Site Architecture

Does is take 5 pages of content to rank for keywords with 50K competing pages, 25 pages if content and 15 strong inbound links for keywords with 500k competing pages, 100 pages of content, time, age and links for 1MM competing pages?

This is primarily impacted by 3 things:

  • The vertical market
  • The age and SEO Prowess of the competition
  • The degree of relevance, trust and content your website has

Aside from these preliminary metrics, it is merely a matter of identifying where your website algorithmically fits in (in the top 1000 results) for the given keyword in search engines.

The Vertical Market

Some markets only have a few major players; others have hundreds competing for each vital online keyword. You also have to consider the grandfather effect whereby sites that existed pre-Google or are 10 years or older often have the depth or trust from some of the most trusted structural links on the web.

The Age / Grandfather Effect

There were not always millions of new websites being added daily, and older sites often enjoy the benefits on ranking higher with less on page optimization.

Although this type of insulation exists, it can still be overcome through applying SEO holistically across a plethora of critical metrics (internal links, themed content, deep links and trusted editorial links from other relevant or authoritative sites).

Content Trust and Relevance Thresholds

After building a solid platform for your website, the more content and or relevant links your pages acquire, the more trust it can acquire.

Trust is the ultimate objective of SEO, a site with trust can rank from a mere mention of a keyword or merely tack on a sub domain or sub folder and literally dominate a market (even through the topic may be an auxiliary topic) as a result of the domain’s authority.

So, if you have a new website, a moderate amount of pages, no significant inbound links, poor site architecture or strong competitors in your market, here are some solid SEO tactics.

As a preface competitive keywords or the definition of competitive starts at 2 million competing pages (just type the “keyword” in quotes in a Google search query).

A keyword less than 2,000,000 competing pages can be acquired as a result of ambient on page factors such as domain trust, topical content, internal or external links; however for pages that encroach on definitive markets, the barrier to entry can be fierce.

Blending Content, Site Architecture and Links

Build your most competitive root phrases into the site architecture, navigation and contextual internal links.

Don’t try to make generic pages or an overabundance of similar pages based on the exact same keywords, use modifiers and stem rankings (like a branch of a tree connected to the trunk) to populate a variety of landing pages tailored to each specific modifier and variation (affordable “keyword”, leading “keyword” services, “keyword” company, best deals on “keyword”, etc.).

Chose a champion page for each respective keyword, then link to it contextually from other occurrences of that keyword in other documents (as applicable).

There is no need to overdo it (like Wikipedia) but, if you can find relevant pages to provide internal links to the pages designed to rank for those keywords, then it is merely a matter of time and / or relevance before your pages become more buoyant.

Keep in mind that rankings take time and sometimes recede or get stuck due to fluctuations in crawl data, shifts in algorithms and other external factors such as competition.

You have to establish authority by chipping away at the more competitive keywords, while ensuring that you refine the relevance on a page by page basis (while eliminating duplicity in your site, theme or template).

Know When to Adapt

If a keyword has more than 500,000 competing pages fighting for the top 10 results, then consider adding a sub folder and adding at least 30 related posts which you can string together as respective branches on the topic. This way, you blanket the market and rank for the whole cluster.

For 750,000 competing pages add 20-30 overlapping pages based on a relevant keyword cluster or synonym, for 100,000,000 competing pages 50-70 pages of themed content.

When the site grows to a point where you have reached the top 20 results for ambient rankings for multiple top tier keywords, then you have to eliminate penalties and confusion about which page should rank for what variation of the keyword or key phrase.

Mapping out a sufficient array of deep links to reinforce the topicality of each page is the next respective metric for improvement. Click here for more about the site: command to theme your pages, content and / or links.

And last but not least, using sufficient navigation or internal links to feed a site as it grows is even more important.

Make sure you don’t neglect or orphan site segments or exclude pages with potential. Periodically go back and sift through pages with trust (9 months or older) to see which changes can create a positive outcome and work as a dynamo to fuel other areas of the site.

When a page reaches a particular ranking threshold, it can then pass along that excess (like a cascading glass of champagne glasses spilling over) to create a distinct type of “ranking credit”.

Where you spend that credit and ranking factor is entirely up to you; however sites with magnitude also understand the importance of expanding their base.

Which is why it is important to have a firm understanding of which type of site architecture works well for your business model; flat site architecture for e-commerce, tiered or themed and siloed site architecture for companies with various topics or market channels, or sub domains for those with vast arrays of segments within the channel they operate within.

Letting Go of Flawed Pages

There are two schools of thought with SEO, the first is “build it right the first time” add content and links, or the second is based on “going back to fix a leaky bucket” and trying to get another 3 years of those dated pages.

You have to know which pages are worthy of consolidation, which pages need flattened (in the root folder), or which websites could function better themed.

Sometimes starting fresh or adding new segments to a website are the best solution to augment existing rankings from legacy components (such as a dated CMS).

There are an abundance of solutions (like WordPress) that are fully customizable with website themes and SEO plugins to fine tune settings.

You can benefit from a hybrid strategy of salvaging pages with the highest degree of relevance and strength, as well as create new fully optimized sub folders or sub domains to stem rankings.
