Link Building

m11I’ve got a blog I’ve been playing with and trying to get to rank for a certain keyword. The blog has done really well and ranks in the top ten for most every post we make within minutes. Of course we try to focus on long tail keywords however; we do go after the competitive keywords from time to time and can hold our own there as well.

I made a post the other day for one of the keywords I wanted to rank for and immediately landed the #4 spot. However, when I checked back a couple days later we had dropped to page two; this bothered me enough to make a new post. The first thought was that in order to hold the rankings with the blog I would need to retarget the keywords I wanted to rank for about once a week.

But as I made the post I decided to link the new post to the old post using my keyword as the anchor text. Within an hour the old post had come back to the first page however, this time we moved up a spot to #3.

We have been able to hold onto the #3 spot for about two weeks now. I’ve seen a lot of bloggers that link back to old post in their articles. I do believe I understand why now and it’s something I plain to do more of in the very near future.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this?

    One of the courses I follow said to submit my website to directories for getting ranked in google, I use ineedhits services because they are experts and do it for a good price and I don’t know how to do it, so is submitting to directories and Link building the same thing or not.

    Hi,

    I am executing search engine optimization and I think it is too time consuming to build backlinks myself. I cannot do anything other than for backlinking the whole day, repeatedly, which is terrible.

    I need a professional link building service, to get high PageRank backlinks done for me. But yet the businesses I found are way very expensive, or they seem scammy, do not give reports of the links, etc.

    Is there any trusted company I could get backlinks done for affordable rates?

    Thanks!
