Rank Without any back linking ?
-
Hello,
I am thinking , I will rank my site without SEO .
I will add quality content on my site . Will not do any backlinking ! Can anyone suggest me if it is really possible.
I know some guys or some websites those are ranked without any SEO attempts.
Thanks

Howdy businessowner,
If you're targeting low competition/long-tailed keywords, you shouldn't have a problem ranking. However, if you're trying to obtain the number 1 spot I'd recommend looking for several link opportunities that would be easy for you to obtain. Having even just a handful of links to a page can really boost it up.
Good luck, I look forward to hearing what happens.

Hard to say until you try!
And remember, if your content is good it will attract links, which is really the best kind of link building.

Kinda helpful !
I am planning for low competitive keywords and add minimum 400+ posts . Does it helpful ? Will it rank ?
And One thing , Content will be created by specialist. (Very high quality )

Depends on what kind of terms you're competing for. You'll definitely not start ranking for keywords like: facebook and microsoft but if you start with very much long tail keywords having only awesome content should definitely be enough from time to time to start ranking.

Hey,
This would be a nice experiment I would say. Give it a shot and please do share the results here. Looking forward.
IMO, linking from the external sources or inter-linking adds a lot of value from SEO perspective. Here, you're planning to not even consider these things for ranking. The SEO game has changed completely in last few years and today, its very difficult to rank in search engines without optimizing for them at all.
I don't know how exactly you're planning to promote this content, whether you're incorporating UGC in your product or your basic SEO elements are optimized (meta tags, header tags, url structure etc.) while doing this experiment. But trust me, this is going to be a very very tough game. Good luck for it.

Can one back-link fluctuates ranking of website with thousands of back-links?
It happend to our website. We have seen major ranking fluctuations for our website because of one back-link. What kind of links those can be? Why Google is not stopping them even though they claim that such back-links will be taken care of?

Would a sitewide link to a 1mb exe download harm rankings?
We're in a games market and we have a link on every page to our download. The link is an aspx but there is no downloadpage as such - clicking on the link triggers an executable download that is just less than one meg. We've been looking at the top results in our very competitive market and the top 8 don't seem to have a download. Coincidence or a real factor?

Are footer links important?
We currently display a list of links in the footer of our site to help boost SEO. They were put in place years ago and in a recent discuss with our UX team they requested we remove them from the site. Do footer links have any value? Or is this an old dated practice that no longer works? If we remove the footer links should we expect to see if have an impact on our SEO traffic?

What next to help with my rankings
I'm after a fresh set of eyes and any suggestions to help me with my site on what next I should be doing to help increase rankings. The site is: http://bit.ly/VR6xIm Currently the site is ranking around 9-11th on google.co.uk for it's main term which is the name of the site. The site is around a year old, when it launched it went initially up towards positions 3-5 but has since settled at around where it is now. I have a free tool webmasters can use to implement our speed test into their sites which also includes a link back to our site in it to recognise that we are providing the tool for free, I periodically change the link achor text so it is not always the same anchor text that every site uses. Is there anything obvious I should be doing or that is missing that would help with my rankings? *Just as a note, I am not after a review on the actual speed test on the site, a new one will be developed to help further increase accuracy.

Links from tumblr
I have two links from hosted tumblr blogs which are not on tumblr.com. So, website1 has a tumblr blog: tumblr.website1.com And another site website2.com also uses the a record/custom domains option from tumblr but not on a subdomain, which is decribed below: http://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/custom_domains Does this mean that all links from such sites count as coming from the same IP in google's eyes? Or is there value in getting links from multiple sites because the a-record doesn't affect SEO in a negative way? Many thanks, Mike.

Footer sitewide links
Here's a question - does having a "website designed by" reference in the footer of every page of one of your clients help or hurt? I have a major university .edu that I designed a site for one of their departments and it is just about to launch and they've allowed me to put a reference in the footer. I've had pretty good luck with this on my other clients' sites, but didn't know if this practice is seen as spammy. Thanks

Aside from creative link bait, what's a solid link building strategy involve?
All things considered, directories, blogs, articles, press releases, forums, social profiles, student discount pages, etc, what do you consider to be a strong, phased, link building strategy? I'm talking beyond natural/organic link bait, since many larger accounts will not allow you to add content to their website or take 6 months to approve a content strategy. I've got my own list, but would love to hear what the community considers to be a strong, structured, timeline-based strategy for link building.
