Round Up: SEO Link Building Tactics & Techniques

February 3, 2015 1 Comment
Written by: Alvin Brown

How is your website’s backlink profile looking these days? Are you steadily garnering new links from a multitude of high-quality websites?

If you can’t answer those questions honestly, or you answered honestly with only a handful links not worth writing home about, then today’s post is strictly for you.

And don’t worry, I’ll go light on you although I probably shouldn’t.

Nevertheless, I’m providing you with the link building strategy round up that will do the following:

  1. Inspire those of you that are not currently link building to get started if you have not a clue where to begin sound and search-safe link building
  2. Give those of you a good swift kick in the pants if you’ve approach or manage ongoing link building in a lazy manner
  3. Correct those of you who have gone towards the dark and wayward path of eating at the “all-you-can-link-buy” buffet

I encourage you to read, study, and re-read each link building post in this round up series.

If you have questions, then please don’t hesitate one bit to drop a comment at the end of this post.

It’ll be my pleasure to help answer any questions or concerns you may have as it pertains to sound and search-safe link building.

108 Actions To Increase Website Traffic and Search Rankings

December 30, 2014 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

How can I increase my website’s traffic and search rankings?

This is the most common question I hear from potential and existing customers looking to gain an edge in search rankings and generate more qualified traffic.

And of course, no matter how I try, there is never enough time to sum up all of the SEO actions one can take to increase website traffic and search rankings.

For those who use WordPress, I simply recommend a few general settings changes and the installation of Yoast or All-In-One Webmaster plugins for starters.

Then there are those who have a static website I recommend content marketing via blogs and articles.

And let us not be quick to forget or diminish the value of social media networks.

Out of all the thoughts previously mentioned, we are barely scratching the surface in addressing the 200+ search ranking factors.

In addition to fielding potential and existing customer SEO questions, I’ve personally had a chance to document the process for creating, developing, and sustaining a few niche websites I’ve started in recent weeks.

I tried my very best to document the 108 actions I’ve used and followed, per my SEO guideline.

Using this exhaustive list of proven SEO actions, every small business owner (that’s you!) can execute these actions on an ongoing basis to increase website traffic and search rankings in hopes of capturing qualified customers.

So if you’re ready, let’s get started!

Why Gating Content With Social Media is Near an End.

December 22, 2014 No Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

gating content with social mediaThe name of the SEO and search rankings game is content. Sound content marketing is getting harder and more challenging to come by as time progresses, and search engines tip the scale of artificial intelligence in their favor.

Paying for viewing content is nothing new under the sun. Just look around at the various life parallels.

We pay ticket premiums and admissions to view concerts, games, movies, fights, news, solutions, answers, and more.

So it’s not a surprise that gating content made its way and has survived for quite some time on the Internet.

Most of us are familiar with gated content when it comes to downloading free content such as ebooks, sample book chapters, and whitepapers.

Is buying and forwarding expired domains an effective SEO strategy?

November 6, 2014 6 Comments
Written by: Alvin Brown

Like clockwork, I receive an email or phone call every few months from either a prospecting or existing customer questioning me about the value of buying and forwarding expired domains to their website.

Most of the time, those that are inquiring about such SEO magic usually have run across some forum thread, or an outdated article claiming to have achieved increased rankings or page one ranking across major search engines.

Obviously, just because one reads this type of SEO nonsense on the Internet, without a thorough and deeper investigation, does not make it search safe, nor the gospel truth.

I know, if this is you, I’m putting a damper on your newly found silver-bullet SEO.

However, there are pros and cons to consider when buying and forwarding expired domains as a part or the sum of your SEO strategy and effort.
