Comment on Picking The Low Hanging Fruit by Kenneth Holland

Something to keep in mind when starting a new site (in going after a keyword) is evidence still shows Google can/might rank you well initially for certain terms you are going after and then your rankings will drop…maybe even plummet. Do not despair. G is figuring out what to do with your site and rankings. It’s part of their algorithm and no, it’s not what some people call the Google sandbox. You should never stop producing links to your site, as link velocity is a factor in G’s algo.

Comment on Page Ranking Triad That Google Doesn’t Know About by Michael Senchuk

I’m definitely a newbie so I’m focusing on the first one right now, but I’ve already had a couple of comments trickle in, and been slowly connecting with others in the same realm who have blogs to start building relationships. My music blog has had better traffic than I would’ve expected at this point already, my business blog is where I’d expect it to be.

Comment on Do Follow Blog Finder Gives You Max Link Juice! by Ian

Yeah – personally I’d just use the “codes” you released in your recent report to find targeted blogs with decent pagerank and have a plugin like SEO for firefox runnign so that you quickly see which blogs are nofollow.

Even if it’s nofollow you might get some traffic from a blog with a lot of traffic itself. So I wouldn’t just focus on dofollow blogs.

I’d also not just stick to high pagerank pages. often they have comments closed nowadays – or the comments are filled with links from other SEOers.

My slightly sneaky trick is to look for more recent posts on blogs which have a number of high pagerank posts. The more recent post won’t have visible pagerank as google’s toolbar probably won’t have been updated recently enough. But since the other posts on the site have high pagerank, the chances are that the recent ones will have too – just not visible yet. So I comment there and often I’m one of the few commenters vs the hundreds when a post already has high pagerank. Since there are fewer comments and fewer outbound links, my comment gets me more google juice.

@Carole Carlson, Building links is one of the most tedious parts of the puzzle, but there are some really great ways to speed up the process without being black hat or endangering your ranking.

The key here is to recognize that SEOing for Google is possible and pretty simple when you break it down.

I know this sounds like a newbie comment, but my biggest issue is links. The other two require work, it’s true, but not like obtaining links. That’s my achilles heel.

appreciate the info! I actually have that plugin, and you’re right it’s a great tool to actually verify the tools you’re using, because like you said, the software may not be up to date.

In theory, it’s a good tool – it worked OK a year or so ago when I last used it.

It works by searching a manually created database of dofollow blogs.

But over time its database has got seriously out of date. lots of the blogs are now nofollow, or have adopted nofollow comment systems like DISQUS.

So I’d recommend using one of the firefox plugins that highlights nofollow links. Then checking out the other comments on the blog when you get there. Might save you time commenting on blogs that arent going to bring you a lot of juice.
