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

How do I build author rank on Google+ ?
I have a website for one of my businesses at www.trustworthycare.com that we've been building upon for many years. On that site we have a lot of content and we publish at least two blog articles each week with solid content that is relevant to members of the market that the business wants to attract as customers. I have a second website for a new business at www.ageassistance.com that is in the same market but which operates in a different manner. That second business is very new. It also publishes two articles per week. Both sites name me as the author and I have created a Google+ page for myself. The sites identify me as the author for google+ author purposes. Both businesses also have google+ pages. The weekly articles are being pushed out to the respective Google+ business pages as well as to my own Google+ page. I think I've got all the basics established for us to take advantage of google+ for SEO purposes, then. Is that correct? If so, what do we do next? What matters? Getting others to +1 my posts? On which Google+ page, mine or the businesses? Getting others to share my posts? If so, is it better to get them shared from my personal page, or from the businesses' pages? Thanks!

Is it possible to get high page ranking with no social media activity?
I'm curious to know how much social media effects the chances of being more highly ranked on Google. I appreciate it's important to 'be seen' by Google, but if articles/newsletters are being written, does it really matter if a business isn't using Twitter or Facebook, etc?

You have a limited budget of $2,000 (US). Do you buy links or create / seed content?
We have a client who is being told by their incumbent supplier that they should renew their annual contract to buy links on 4 domains by their incumbent SEO agency. It will cost approximately $2,000. We are recommending they produce decent content, like a video, an infographic based on data that is exclusively theirs and seed this with bloggers / real world publications / trade press / etc. The client is struggling to make a decision because he's caught between two SEO's with different approaches. He doesn't have the budget for both. He's scared of losing his position in the SERPs. So, I said I'd get some votes from other SEO's. Which would you recommend? Option 1 1,000's of links on 4 domains Option 2 Create link bait Seed using social media GO!
