“Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.” — Dale E. Turner

Hi,

It’s true – a VERY important lesson. Basically it’s this:
Always push, try harder to persuade… (without using force). Do not give up!

When you where a kid and wanted your mother to buy you something you loved – you try hard to persuade her. You did not give up too easy. That’s why you got what you wanted, especially if you started to cry.

So this is a good lesson in seo as well:

Tell search engines (by the action you take) that your website MERITS the #1 position. Not forcing them to put you there. But you need to do your best to get what you deserve.

Things you can do and keep doing are all the good seo techniques. I can sum them up a bit here:

1) Keep adding fresh new content on your site (especially related to your niche).

2) Keep getting one way links, get also link exchanges – quality and quantity are both important.

3) Use keyword variations and related keywords in anchor texts of links, so your linking looks natural (not as if you are spamming the keyword).

Again those I personally say are the THREE most important “tactics” in seo.

If you read my other posts I told you how rankings sort of play around in the search engines. Your mother used to agree to give you what you want today, but change her mind tomorrow – until you REALLY PERSUADE her!

That’s same thing with the search engines. Persuade them NOW that your website is the best one for the searchers – for the particular keywords they are searching.

After all you need to deserve the high rankings and the seo techniques actually do the good job of showing that your website is the best one and deserves the #1 rankings.

The backlinks you get mean your website is useful because people link to it.

The content obviously means you know your topic or you provide great content that searchers are going to love. Adding fresh content everyday means you are not just looking to make money from your website – but it’s actually a great resource for the searchers. It is useful!

Again about backlinks, if you get some everyday means that everyday your website is being linked to from other websites – it’s not a one time thing you are doing to spam… (like getting 100 on Monday to improve rankings – then nothing for rest of the week).

I always preach that 15-30 link exchanges every day combined with one way links is the best approach for link building.

So all these mean you are doing search engine optimization but not forcing or trying to use spam to get high rankings!

Follow this best advice and you will get the reward you merit!
