SEO the fastlane way

[Pat]

Before I start, this involves spamming (legal, not email spam). If that goes against your values, please don't read this thread :smxB:

Personally I don't have a problem with it because 99% of the spammed websites are autoblogs or forum profiles, both won't get any interested human visitors anyway.

1. Look at your competitors. If you want to beat them match/beat them on as many variables as possible like backlinks, pagerank, domain age etc

2. Build your links. I don't do anything by hand, I seriously can't be bothered building links by hand. How do I do this? Automation

2.1 Get something for profile creation. I use backlinksgenie, but there are a lot of other services as well. If you want you can also buy xrumer.

2.2 Get scrapebox. Cheap and multitalent.

Build a few web 2.0 properties (I do it via backlinksgenie, but this can be done manually). Make sure you keep posting content a few times, otherwise it's easy to get banned from the hosts.

Build a lot (thousands and thousands) of backlinks to your web 2.0 websites. Make a good mix of comments and forum profiles.

You can also build some directly, but build slowly to your main website or you might get sandboxed.

Then get your forum profiles indexed. I do this by using scrapebox to build backlinks to the profile pages.

I did that with a new website, 2 weeks after starting I had over 500 backlinks showing up, even though I built most backlinks towards the web 2.0 sites.
Now I'm rank 2/3 for my keywords, only behind competitors with PR2. This will be easy to overcome by building internal pages on the website to increase my own pagerank.

Now, if necessary, you can do some manual backlinking to supplement your automation.

Interesting strategy. How have you faired with the Panda update?

I started the new website 2 weeks ago. So all good

Hehe, too fast to talk about it Wait for a year, then we'll start to see whether you still maintain the position.

Hey pat, do you mind sharing some 2.0 sites that are like squidoo and hubpages?

I know their are thousands of 2.0 sites but Im looking for some that are like squidoo and hubpages.
Care to Share?

True, I'm sure this method may be questionable in the long run, but won't manual backlinking be just as speculative? This is actually considered greyhat last time I checked and pretty common.

Yes this is nothing spectacular. Just basic non-whitehat, has been around for a long time and works really well for a lot of people. I just wanted to offer an alternative to the standard "build quality content and write relevant blogcomments".

I got a few more advanced tricks up my sleeve if the competition is strong. If anyone is really interested in advanced SEO I recommend bluehatseo.com

Google Panda specifically targets this kind of backlinking. Every man and dog is doing it because its 'easy' your site will eventually be slapped. And its soo obvious for google to identify this strategy.

Sure. If you believe Matt Cutts and ignore the real life examples

My site won't be slapped because otherwise it would be easy to just slap all your competitors sites instead. If anything the links won't give any linkjuice at all, but that's obviously not the case.

There is slowlane and fastlane in SEO as well.

But who am I to argue, if you get something out of the post great, if not, well just ignore it

Thanks Pat. I really want to give this a try and see if I can generate some spare cash off some websites in the meantime.

I'm going to chime in:

Me: High ranking finance site for keywords w/ over 130,000 exact searches a month.

My advice: Build out a large authority site and get sponsored links from authority websites. Get Yahoo Directory, Get BOTW, Get DMOZ (if you can), Get Business.com. Get guest posts on relevant high PRd blogs, syndicate press releases through PR Newswire, get social w/ facebook-twitter-reddit-digg-google +1...

I launched one of my sites this year in January and went from nothing to ranking for many of my terms (some of the most competitive finance terms) while going from PR N/A to PR 4 for the homepage and PR 3 for many subpages.

I used to think like the OP using my xrumer license, scrapebox on a VPS, and spinning content but those sites took hits with the last two updates.

P.S. In regards to bluehatseo I do business w/ Eli and while I respect what the blog says I wouldn't recommend it for the 2011 SE environment.

I completely agree. That's the best way of doing it for a big site.

But on the other hand I think it's overkill for small sites like for small businesses etc. What's your strategy there?

 

[domular]

The other the fact that has really been pointed out here is that your money site has to have real value. If you can't keep visitors on the site eventually your rankings will suffer. As far as building backlinks, I'd much rather have a real person in Malaysia building them for $3 an hour than use any piece of software. It's worked well for me for years and all I ever have to do is to give her an update of the words and site I want backlinks for.
