Getting search engine rankings

As it turns out, my humble little blog about search engines is starting to get some feedburners subscriptions despite having no activity for an extended period of time. This should be a clear sign for a lot of you web 2.0 bloggers that the secret to building your feedburner count is not constantly posting. The secret to getting traffic is not constantly posting. Instead, the secret to getting good targeted traffic is dominating the search engine rankings.

Most of you have heard this already. You’ve read this information before and it’s nothing new to most of you. You know that you need to rank at the top of the search engines to get traffic. You know you need this targetted traffic to make money.

You even know how to get to the top of the search engine rankings. You’ve read over and over that it’s all about seo and links. You even know that you need the right kind of links–links that use the anchor text of the term you are trying to rank for and several variants.

So if you’re trying to rank for search engine optimization then you will get links with the text seo, search engine optimization, seo strategies and many more long tails.

Put here’s where you get stuck–where in the hell do you get these links? Well that’s a good question. There are several places where you can score good links which allow you to control the anchor text, however most if not all are frowned upon heavily by Google. Therefore you won’t see me linking out to any services, and for that reason I also need to add the disclaimer that you should use these at your own risk and know that they go against the Google TOS.

I’ve seen 3waylinks in action and I know it works. I should warn that because you need to link to sites, it puts you at danger as well and for that reason I don’t use it. However, it is a good way to score dozens of low quality perfectly optimized links. Even better is 1waylinks, which is very cheap, gives you fewer links but gets the job done.

Private links works are a step up because they have blogs with some juice, so you get your hands on pagerank 1-3 links (although over time these turn into PR 0 links). The next thing is an article marketer that gets your spun articles all over the net, more low quality backlinks.

The next method is building your own sites to link to yourself, high pagerank and permanent but require a load of work.

Hopefully this short list helped,  I’ll break it down further when I have more time,
