Tutorial: 1st Page On Google
 

Hey guys,

I'll let you in on the basics of getting ranked on Google. Obviously, I won't be giving any of my secrets away but this will just be to get you started. This isn't some new brilliant strategy that will solve you problems, this is just an accumulation of basic SEO knowledge that I thought might help fellow GFY members.

Personally, I've got 32 (and counting) niches on google on the bottom of the first page (a few at the top of the second).


I wrote this for mainstream marketing but will tailor a few things to the Adult Industry.

FYI: Some of the sites listed may or may not allow adult content

Here are 15 steps you WANT TO FOLLOW:
1. First off, choose a niche that has a product that you think there is a good demand for.

There are tons of several keyword tools out there that are free. I'm not going to spend all day posting the different ones, but here are a few to get you started:
-Google Keyword Tool
-Google Trends
-SemRush

If you are in fact going for a mainstream product, definitely look into the product's 7 day EPC. It'll will be a loose dictation of your revenue.

2. Check out the competiton:

This should be pretty obvious. Google to see who is competiting for the product or niche you selected. Do background research on all the top ranking sites. I typically research the 1st-15th positions. Look for their PR, amount of backlinks AND quality, age of the site, amount of visitors they're getting, and the size and scale of the site.

If you're see a handful of sites that you are confident you can beat them, then do more research on them. If you are still just as confident, then you found your niche (assuming it is a profitable niche).


3. Now go get your domain

:winkwink: Woah woah, not so fast. Do your best to get one with the keyword you are trying to rank for or at least an equivalent phrase. I'd stick to the big three: .com, .net, .org

Obviously .com is the most preferred

4. Website:

Alright so let's assume you're just getting started. You probably don't have a clue on how to design a site or have the money to afford a designer...well you're in luck. Install Wordpress. It's a nice CMS with a ton of plugins. Install the normal ones like Google Analytics, Google Sitemap, allinoneseo, etc.

Now personalize it. Well not to you, but to your niche :winkwink: Grab a nice looking template (1000's for free), download GIMP, watch a few videos on Youtube and before you know it, you'll have a custom logo, banner and theme for you niche site.

Now the content. We all know content is king. No one wants to go to a site where there is no content. The best thing to do is to post about 2-3 articles a day for 10 days. Now for GFY members, that will include at least one photo in every post.

5. Make an actual landing page

This part is important. Make an actual landing page, not a list of the most recent posts. Wordpress is setup to default to the most recent posts (I think it shows 5 or 10 previews). You don't want that.

-A popular thing (all though I don't really like it) is to remove the sidebars. Apparently it increases click through rates but I find it annoying and think that users find a side navigation bar useful. But to each his own.

6. Every post you have should link to your landing page

7. I'll repeat this: CONTENT IS KING.

8. Make press releases.

Here is a list of 170+ Free Press Release sites. Not sure how many of them accept adult though:
The List


9. Submit articles

Places like this:
www.bigt.it (adults only), ezine, goarticles, buzzle, articlesbase, isnare, etc.. You'll want at least a few to each. Obviously, you'll want them linking to your site and a few other sites that are relative to your niche.

10. repeat the last step weekly

11. Links.

Start making them. Learn what anchor texts are and use them wisely. I follow the popular guide of using 55%-75% primary key words. Use bookmarking sites, directory submissions, blogs, forums, etc.. Try to keep them in your niche.

-Links are very powerful in large masses but having useful links will both help boost your SERPs but also bring in traffic (2 birds with 1 stone :upsidedow)

12. Articles

Find some articles, spin them and then point them to your landing page. Make sure the articles get indexed by Google and other SE's.


13. Constant Updates

Google loves it when sites are constantly updated with new articles and information. Users also want current content so you should try to post at least 2 articles or GFY content on your site a week.

14. Adsense

For mainstream audiences, use Adsense or a similar network for surplus revenue on your posts. Be sure not to put ads on the landing page. You only want your product there or CPA links. A lot of people don't like to see affiliate links. Amazingly, there is a way to cloak them :error :1orglaugh


15. Lastly, keep the work up. If you feel like your sites haven't gone anywhere for 2 months, you have three options:

A. Double check you did everything right. I didn't cover the very very basics such as setting up Google Analytics, how to get indexed, etc.. But if you did everything right and Google is just taking their sweet old time, then move on and dedicate your time to getting another project started (while still maintaining your first site).

B. Call in some backup firepower. Many variations of this such as Backlinks, buying traffic, SEO experts, etc.. Like me :winkwink:

C. If you've tried the above, you're ranked highly for your terms and still aren't making ANY money either change up the product or how you market it. If that doesn't work sell the site or Dump it.


Here are things you DO NOT WANT TO DO:

1. Link exchanges

Simple link exchanges don't much for SERPs. Do-Follows with anchor text are the most efficient types of links. There are complicated link exchanges that follow algorithms that work.

2. Link wheels

-Deemed dead. There are ways around this. Hamiltonian paths :) I might release a service for this but until then just ignore it. It's pretty much a link wheel that follows a NP-complete algorithm (hamiltonian paths). You can only estimate it's direction and source.

3. I'll repeat this: Don't use free hosts.

4. Unique Content

Do not have content that is 100% identical to another sites. Google will penalize you for it.

5. Don't forget about your headers, footers, and tags.

6. Try not to use iframes. Max 1 popunder per page (if you have to...)

7. Do not use Epass :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I've used this method with my variations and secrets and have ranked for about 45 niches. The ones I didn't rank for I pretty much underestimated the competition or didn't research at all. Stuff like cheap hosting and amateur porn aren't as easy as I first thought :1orglaugh

If you happen to develop a great method for picking low-mid competition niches then you'll be off to a great start. You'll start seeing some good results in the first 4-6 weeks.

The cost to do what was mentioned here is a registration fee for your domain and hosting (cheap...). Just don't use a free host. In my experience and learning they just get penalized. No point to do all the work and then get penalized for who you host with. A few bucks a month isn't going to kill you.

Hope this helps everyone. If you have any questions or comments let me know.

Jim aka jkthedesigner :)

-If there is enough interest I will write a very comprehensive method specifically for adult sites. I can include methods for blogs, tube sites, affiliate sites, and more. Just depends what you guys want.

What do you mean by 'Landing Page' exactly, vs wordpress's default setup of listing the most recent posts...

linkspun good place to find a>b>c>d hardlink trades

cool read

Thanks sir

linkspun=a->b->c->d trades

It's not bad but I still don't recommend link exchanges.

Well wordpress is by default, a CMS for a blog. A landing page is your lead-capture page. It's the page where you make the money. Where on that page, if they click what you want them to (the whole point of it), then they just put money in your pocket.

This may not be the same with Adult sites but it depends on what type of site you have. I could talk about this for hours :pimp

Anyone know how to get this article or a revised version into the Educational Series here? Maybe one of you could help me out :winkwink:

Looks good.

Now everyone take what this guy told you and make a page for one of the products at www.oainternet.com ;)

cool write up, useful info as well!

Not endorsed by me but thought this was funny: http://vimaxsystem.com/about.html
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

nice post :thumbsup

So trading links is bad but spamming your shit with xrumer is good? Let's not forget who the source is for the information given.

You got caught in that thread outright stealing the sales text from another site to sell 'spammer packages' and now you are a SEO expert? Just curious here, some people are going to read this and think you actually know what you're talking about.

How about sharing 1 or 2 of these '32' results you have to prove you at least own any sites?

Hey, I'm a skeptic, especially when I read stuff like this. I personally have made over half a million dollars doing things on your 'DO NOT DO' list, and I'm far from blackhat (you are the xrumer spammer), so figure that one out.

cool read

I mean in this thread that dude wasn't selling a thing and he did give some information - basic information that most people know already but still solid good info for someone still learning

surely some useful info for some people. Nice post.

And remember what he said, CONTENT IS KING.

a decent beginner's guide that should help some people, though there are a couple points i disagree on. link exchnages being one of them. link exchanges look natural, it's good to have a few solid link exchanges in place with quality sites.

the xrumer reference is pretty funny. is that your big secret that you're not going to share? lol :1orglaugh

Precisely what I was thinking...I'd rep you but I can't. :/

got it covered.

Sure, but I could build a 1000 word essay on rebuilding your F-150 pickup (so could you) but I'm sure you'd rather get the info from someone who actually works on them for a living or even owns an F-150, no matter what his motives, he posted to help people, giving them half good, half bad information with no substance to build it off is NOT helping anybody.

Thanks :)


Alright Jdoughs. First off you very well may have made $500,000 doing things on the DO NOT DO LIST but that doesn't mean they were any bit productive for getting better google rankings. I assume you're talking about iframes and popunders. Those are great tricks and are often devious little devils that make a good amount of money but it by no means helps your ranking. Now if you're talking about link exchanges or link wheels, well as we all know google changes their algorithms. Thus the link wheel and a direct link exchange are dead now.


I'm by no means blackhat. I fully believe white hat is the way to go for permanent results. As stated briefly in the Tutorial, the amount of backlinks a website has is huge. If you can make all of them relevant, you've just tripled their power. Xrumer is a great tool when used correctly and infused with other various methods. I'm not going to get into what those methods are because quite frankly, those are what separates me from 6th and 7th place from 1st and 2nd.

I have no need to share my sites. I will however create an adult site and get it ranked purely for demonstrative purposes. I'll probably auction it off here so you can buy it :1orglaugh

Oh and I applaud you for being successful and making your $500,000 :thumbsup It's always nice to see people making money

jk you could always shut all the doubters up in this thread by ranking first page for the keyword vimax ;)

but we dont allow blog comment spam or any of that so if thats part of your method i cant take it :P

Sorry but I can't help bringing the big guns out.

And to add, me running linkspun has nothing to do with me calling into question your experience and qualifications to give a seo tutorial, I've been doing it here (and other boards for years), mostly because I can smell bullshit from 10 clicks away, and I smelt this post coming all the way from the mainstream boards.

Directories and Articles? You kidding me?

Looks good thanks for posting up your ideas for people to use and make some money.

Don't forget it :upsidedow



No, Xrumer isn't even 1/20th of what goes into it.

I don't believe in blog spamming. Not a big supporter of it.

But vimax would be funny :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

At least he's not trying to sell it as a WSO or something. It's helpful enough for noobs, even if all the information is readily available, I'm sure it'll give someone somewhere something to work with. I disagree with a few points, but hey, we all have our own way of doing things.

and it will make you a pretty nice chunk of change if you can do it :)

Look if you don't want to use this tutorial then don't. I don't care one way or another.

Btw, link exchanges are good on a niche to niche level.
Directories and Articles do work.. Not sure where you've been but they've worked for years and will continue to hold weight in SERPs.

I have absolutely no intentions of using said tutorial. My concern is dumbing down the pool of webmasters by allowing people to believe that most of the statements in it are based on actual fact, and not speculation.

If you have 32 niched keyterms but cannot share just one to all these people, to show you know what you're talking about, then we'd obviously have to assume that there is no such rankings. Which means this entire tutorial is based on fiction not fact.

Which renders it useless and possibly a liability to anyone who actually reads it and believes it.

Wow, I think I read this on Black Hat World 3 years ago.

This isn't "dumbing down the pool of webmasters." This is all based on a combination of what I've read and learned. You can take it or leave it.

If you'd like to point out what you completely disagree with in the tutorial then go for it. So far all you've done is make accusations towards me that render my act of kindness as invalid simply because I don't show you my sites? What person who makes a good bit of money with PPC actually shows you his sites? None... Like I said I'll be creating an adult niche site and get it ranked for everyone to see. At the end of it, I'll probably sell it.

You don't even OWN an adult site.

Case rested/thread closed.

What website did you copy that from?

You have a history of that, you know.

:1orglaugh

Have a good one :thumbsup

There is no money without a site :2 cents:

Can I get clarification on item #8 please? I'm confused how that page helps.

hell nah, move that shit to exec vip forum. this information is too sensitive for the masses.
