4 months continuous Link Building, still not getting up!
-
Hi..
Our page URL is : http://www.qubesys.com/psd-to-joomla-template/
And our keywords are :
PSD to Joomla
PSD to Joomla Template
We need to get to the 1st position, and thats why, we have been doing a lot of social bookmarking and blog posting since 4 months.
It was on 9th Page, but for this 4 months work, it now in the 1st or 2nd page.
We need to get the #1 position, since from all of our competitors, we have the best website and everything in order .
All others are either incomplete or doesnt look and work in a professional way.
So, what are we lacking behind ?
Got any recommendations, like what should be the plan and how to go about it ?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Paid links surely works, but are too much a risk, as they are not something Google likes at all.
Reciprocal link building... if meant as the classic page "links/resources" not as well, because: the quality of your backlink is crap and, second, because for Google is so easy to detect them and discount the minimum PR they pass.
No, follow the way I suggested. Then, if you want to compensate the blogger who reviewed the product, use their same review as testimonial in your product page. That will also give more force to the product itself toward the visitors of the page, hence, it may better the conversion rate.
About Social Bookmarking... they are ok if they are not alone. And more: if they give some quality. For instance, have you ever thought to create a Power Point as a manual of use of the tools and publish it in Slideshare? Or, better, to create a video and publish it both in your YouTube profile and site, and then create a video-sitemap xml? That way you could be in first page also for the video result in the universal search.
About article marketing... mmmm... if doing 1 article for article portal and writing a quality content. But I would prefer to try the guest blogging way.
What I'm trying to tell you is to think out of the box, not to rely to classic and old fashioned tactics that a time consuming and not have a long lasting effect.

Okay..
From my experience, we only try to get links with Social Bookmarking, Article Submission and Directory Submission.
Do we need to adapt to other techniques like paid links, or reciprocal link building with other webmasters ?

Social Signals are a ranking factor indeed, but not enough in order to rank a page for a mid/high competitive KW. You need links, that's the real way to reach the first page and hopefully the 1st position

Hi Gianluca,
Thanks for your detailed reply.
Okay, we have spent last hour, checking the competitor websites and none of them have any good backlinks, nor good social presence.
Okay, so you suggest to have links from important websites.
And I see, you have concentrated more on Social stuff like tweets and shares.
Is it affecting SEO to that level ?
If that is so, then we can have one SEO guy to only keep tweeting our targeted pages and ask his friends to share those pages.
So , thats going to work good ?

Hi...
let me tell that I did a fast check of the links to your page, so this comment of mine cannot be considered scientific.
What I see looking at OSE is that you really don't have that many inbound links to the page you would like to see as number one for the given keywords.
And surely they seems not being links from really authoritative domain names.
As social signals, then, the page had been tweeted just three times and shared 20... taking into account that the site have 600+ fans, you could try to have more shares.
What does this say to us? That not all links are equals. If I was you I would try to contact bloggers specialized in web design and try outreach action as: "Hi, I would really like you trying our PSD to Joomla tool and receive your feedback. If you will also consider the opportunity to review the tool in your blog, we would really appreciate it". And then you give to the blogger the sofware for free.
This is just one of the tactics I'd try in order to obtain more quality backlinks... and visibility and traffic to the page.
Hope this helps
Ciao

Linkedin "company website" link - any value?
Hi So, on Linkedin, I can put my company website. I've been trying to figure out if this is a nofollow, or do follow - or, not even really a link. Here's how it appears in my profile's source code Websites <a target="_blank" <strong="">href="/redir/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmaxvape%2Ecom&urlhash=MtlQ&trk=ppro_website">Company Website</a> Is this even a "link"? I'm guessing the way it is built, no it's not even a nofollow link. Secondly, does anyone know any good link-juice you can get form Linkedin. Thanks!

How to Push Free Offer for Links, Likes and Shares.
I have been working with a UK based printing company for a while now. We have had some good success, ranking well for most of our target phrases. One thing we do is to offer select Graphic Designers and Illustrators free business cards. Last year we approached a load of Designers and Illustrators (sourced via followerwonk) and printed cards for them, but we have run out of suitable candidates. One particular problem is that if the designers don’t need cards at that moment in time, the offer is forgotten about. Any Ideas how we can give the offer a lift? Let me know your thoughts. Justin

Should links to your social media accounts be followed?
Hi There, Just wondering if you guys (and girls) think that your links to social media accounts be followed or nofollow? This includes sitewide header/footer links and other text links littered throughout the site. Includes Twitter, FB, Pinterest and G+ specifically (for my site anyway). Thanks in advance!
