Hello, folks! This post is inspired by a thread started by “domainiac” on one of the Internet Marketing forums. I added some spice to this combo, a way to get better results. So, let’s begin the domination of Google’s first page.
1 ) We are going to use Wordtracker Gtrends Keyword Tool. Search the main keyword. Then, pick the ones you want to use. On the right side of each keyword you will see a little icon (3 bars) if you click on that icon, a new page will open. This page gives you the number of competitors for this keyword phrase – it also gives you a number of CLICKS that keyword gets (assuming it is the result #1 ob the first page of Google).
2 ) So, you selected 3 keywords phrases, now you need to register 3 blogs on Blogger.com and 3 blogs on WordPress.com. Each blog’s URL must contain one of the keyword phrases, use dashes for blogger. Example:
how-to-learn-spanish.blogspot.com and howtolearnspanish.wordpress.com – all 6 domains MUST be available.
3 ) After you registered all 6 blogs, write 2 paragraphs. Each paragraph must contain all 3 keyword phrases. If out phrases are; Learn Spanish, How to Learn Spanish and Learn Spanish Online, the first paragraph will look like this: “You have always wanted to Learn Spanish. Learning a new language might not be as difficult as it seems, so How to Learn Spanish with ease? The quickest way is to Learn Spanish Online. It is cheap, quick and effective…” as you see, the paragraph uses all 3 keyword phrases. The second paragraph will do the same.
4 ) Post these 2 paragraphs to EACH blog. Now make EACH keyword phrase in the blog (total 6 in 2 paragraphs) into your affiliate link. However, I prefer to link them all to a landing page. More on this later.
5 ) Go to FeedAge.com and submit the RSS FEED of EACH blog. The RSS feed of your blogger blog will look like this: http: / /YOUR-BLOG-NAME.blogger.com/feeds/posts/default and the RSS FEED of your WordPress blogs will look like this: http: / /YourBlogName.wordpress.com/feed Also submit your blogs to Ping-o-matic!, Digg and StumbleUpon and every other social bookmarking directory you can possible find. To make this task a little easier (in the future) I recommend SocialMarker. I blogged about it in another post, Social Bookmarking or Highway to Backlinks. I suggest you to read that post before continuing. Also add all your blogs to MyBlogLog.
6 ) Make a Squidoo lens (or better 3 lenses – 1 per keyword phrase. Create links in these lenses LINKING to Your LANDING page (which you will build with Weebly.com or a site builder of your choice). Digg and Stumble both; Weebly site and Squidoo lenses.
7 ) Write 2 or 3 articles for EACH keyword phrase you chose. Make sure the articles are between 300-400 words. Submit these articles to EzineArticles. Make sure that your keywords are in the title of the article. After EA has approved your articles, you will be able to find your “Author’s page RSS FEED”, submit this RSS feed to FeedAge.com. Also, take these articles and post them in your blogs, 2 per day. Let’s say you wrote 6 articles. You will make 2 new post on each blog per day (during 3 days), this means each blog will receive 6 new posts within 3 days – Google likes it when you update 😉 After submitting new BLOG posts, click on the title of the post and you will see the exact address of the post in the ADDRESS BAR. It will look like: YOUR-BLOG-NAME.blogger.com/post1-How-to-learn-spanish – or something of that sort. Copy that link and submit it to Ping-o-matic. Do this for each new post. Submit all these articles to OTHER article directories, such as GoArticles, ArticleCity… etc. Link ALL THE ARTICLES, including the ones posted on EA to your landing page – this will give your landing page more backlinks and more authority.
8 ) Last but not least. Video Marketing. You can make a 1-2 minutes video very fast. Either film yourself using a webcam, capture your screen with a software (I use CAMTASIA, but I am sure there are some free ones) or simply make a slide show using images, music and text. PC people will most likely use Windows Movie Maker, MAC people will use iMovie. Both are very easy to use. Here is a SAMPLE video – I am sure you can do better than that: Watch This Video.
A few important things. When writing the description of the video, you should ALWAYS start like this: http://YourWebsite… If you write your link in this format, it will become BLUE and CLICKABLE, people will be more tempted to visit your site they they only CLICK and are not obliged to TYPE the address. Now, the important part… Create an account at TubeMogul and upload your video there. This service allows you to upload 1 video to Youtube, Myspace Video, Metacafe, Yahoo Video, Revver, AOL Video, Google video, Veoh and a few other video sites! And the SEARCH ENGINES love videos! You will often find videos ranking very high in the results of search engines.
9 ) Last but not least. Add your video to your Website, blogs and Squidoo. Don’t forget to DIGG and Stumble your videos as well…
Yes, it does take some times. But within a week you will have at least 1 of your links on the first page of Google for whatever keyword phrase you picked in the first step. Most likely you will get several listings in the first page.
TIP: Try to find keyword phrases that get a decent amount of daily searches and less than 100,000 competitors. (To see the # of competitors for your keyword phrases, use “brackets” when searching that phrase in Google. EXAMPLE: Instead of searching: Learn Spanish, search for “Learn Spanish”)
10 ) Now you have the MOST important thing to do:

The BEST I've come across, EVER. Better than many courses I've paid for. It works and I now have several first page results in one the most difficult niche markets there is, one that google places has penalized for years. Alex gets my vote !
Derek, I have posted a new version of this strategy a few weeks ago :) Feel free to check it out:
https://blog.extra-paycheck.com/the-ultimate-google-ranking-strategy/
Thanks for the quick answer! Great advise!
But the backlinks from bookmarking won't matter much anymore?
Excellent guides Alex! I subscribe. I just have a pair of questions;
"Now make EACH keyword phrase in the blog (total 6 in 2 paragraphs) into your affiliate link. However, I prefer to link them all to a landing page. More on this later."
- By 'Landing page', do you mean my MAIN website?
- Isn't it kind of risky to put more than ONE link per article to the same website? I mean, can't you risk getting penalised?
- And last question, does this still work?
I hope you can answer quickly, since I can't wait using this :)
Hi, Frederik.
I am less technical about all of this these days. Search algorithms change daily and you can't always know which way it goes so here is the simplest and probably the best advice I could give: Don't write for Google, write for your readers. Try to produce high quality original content that people will appreciate. If it feels right to stick in an affiliate link or two - do it, if it feels wrong - don't do it.
This whole ranking thing is getting a lot more serious. Google certainly still cares about the number of sites that link to your content, however they are getting better and better detecting low quality links, spammy links and fake links. One single link from WikiPedia or another high authority site is probably worth thousands if not million links from low quality sites. Also social networking is a lot more important now than it used to be; if lots of people share your content on Facebook, twitter, G+ and others - it shows that people like your content, hence higher ranking.
How's that as advice?

nice tips, but article marketing is not as good as it used to be in the past. Video marketing is good though.
Hey, Isaac, thanks for the comment!

Alex, I must say that I'm truly impressed with your SEO skills on this one. It seems like you really nailed it. I wonder if this works with very popular keywords. I will get to working on this asap to see if I can really achieve first page on Google. I will be more than pleased if I do indeed and will make sure to come back and let you know.

Hi Alex,
I have one question for you.
I have one blog which is always on top position of second page of Google. I have tried to add backlinks and do bookmarking. But the position remain unchanged. Do you have any idea for this problem.
Thanks.
Don

I been in marketing for quite sometimes now but never tried using SEO techniques until this early year of 2010. But never successful after getting banned some of my sites in blogger. Unsuccessful attempt so to speak...:-)...but now I know this will work! I will start it right away using this technique..
