Offsite SEO Tips             Go to Top

Anyone care to share some offsite seo tips to get better website rankings. I need better search rankings for my new site.

I already know blogs help, but I hate writing.


Thanks

PM Alston. He is the forum SEO guru, or at least one of them.

Sign up for various listings such as: google maps/local, yahoo local, msn live local, yellow pages, superpages, etc... basically google your top keywords and see where your competition is coming up off site.

I did all of the above pretty much. Is there anything else I can do?

Hire a ghost writer to write your blogs, link youtube videos with the same tags, paraphrase ezine articles that you can search for on the topics of your particular brand(s) of insurance. Jeff Wild knows some ghost writers, get in touch with him.

"link youtube videos with the same tags"

Can you explain that further?

Thanks.

Never heard of linking Youtube videos with tags? I am going to start having articles written with keywords I am trying to rank for.

Re: Offsite SEO Tips             Go to Top

I could be wrong but i was talking to a website designer and seo guy last night, and you can link youtube videos that have tags (of course), embed them into your blog or site, and the tags are counted when the spiders run their search, every little bit counts.
Hope that helps ox

Interesting. I have plenty of blog posts. I guess I'll have to check if I can slip in a relevant video.

Re: Offsite SEO Tips             Go to Top

Use social marker Social bookmarking service. Fast tagging and posting to all major social websites - SocialMarker.com on each page of your site. It can get you several backlinks quickly and new pages indexed really fast.
It is a pain in the butt the first time you use it because you have to register with each social bookmarking site the first go round but then every time you use it thereafter it only takes a few minutes. Lists all of your pages with services like digg, ask.com, twitter, reddit, propeller (netscape) and so forth. If you tag it right (make it area specific) it will also bring you traffic.

Re: Offsite SEO Tips             Go to Top

You mean you have to do this for every page of your website? What happens if you have about 30-40 pages?

Then you have the same boring, irritating, semi-drunk weekend I had about two weeks ago. Enjoy!

I heard google does not like it when you acquire to many backlinks fast?

Beatuplunchbox, how did Socialmarker.com work for you?
