SEO Case Study

Posted on 02. Feb, 2010 by Charles in Affiliate Marketing, SEO

A few days ago I sent out a quick little survey asking what you
really wanted from me. So far there have been over 1749 replies,
and the emails are still pouring in.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the overwhelming
response.

WOW, but the shocking thing was that the majority of people wanted
more case studies about list building, SEO, and PPC.

Really, these are all the things that I do every day in my own
business to make money.

So today I’m going spill the beans about free traffic and reveal
some of my own Jedi traffic tricks.

Sound good?

Most “Guru’s” always talk about their successful sites, but very
few of them have the guts to really show them to you.

It seems they always talk about how they would get people knocking
them off if they did.

Personally, I think most of them are just totally full of B.S.

If your site is that weak, then you don’t need to be teaching
anything to anybody.

Have you ever thought the same thing?

I’m going to show you a site that has been on the first page of
Google for over 4 years.

See, I believe in building real business and not some lame
fly-by-night scam.

This allows me to sleep like a baby at night not having to worry
about the next Google Slap, Punch, Drop Kick, or Body Slam.

If you want to do the same then just clone my success.

Google this term:

garage plans

My site GaragePlansPlus has been on the first page for over 4
years. Every once in a while it drops to page 2, but I can boost
it up overnight when that happens.

Yes, I know this site is about the most “dog ugly” site you will
ever see. One day I will get around to a makeover for it. I hope.

Now, if you want to get to the first page of Google then just
follow along.

It’s a 2 part formula for success.

=================================================================

PART 1 These are the things you have direct control over.
=================================================================

Step 1 – Get a keyword rich domain. Believe me, it works.

Step 2 – Make sure your main keyword is in your page title.

Example: Garage Plans | RV Garage Plans | Garage Apartment Plans

Step 3 – Make sure you use keyword rich meta tags. Forget about
what those so-called SEO experts say. Meta tags will help.

Step 4 – Make sure you use the main keyword in your H1 tags.

Step 5 – Use your main keyword in your image and alt tags. Also,
name your images after your main keyword.

Step 6 – Sprinkle your keyword throughout your page text and make
sure your links have your keyword in the anchor text.

Step 7 – Use the no follow tag to sculpt your link juice to your
most important pages. This is very important. Don’t overlook this
one step.

=================================================================
PART 2 These are things that other people control, but we are going
to stack the deck in our favor.

=================================================================

Step 1 – Run a ranking report to find out where your site ranks or
even if it ranks at all. Then do it on your competitor’s site.

Step 2 – Find all the sites that rank on the first page and then do
a back link check in Yahoo, Google, and MSN. Once you find out who
is linking to them, there’s a good chance they would link to you.

Step 3 – Contact the sites that are giving your competition links
and email them and see what it takes to get a link. This is also a
great way to build an affiliate army

Step 4 – Find Authority sites in your niche that will accept your
links. This is will give you a huge boost in rankings.

Step 5 – Find directories that will allow you to submit your site.
This is a great way to build massive one way links which are the
best kind to have.

Step 6 – Make sure you aren’t linked to any banned sites. This one
mistake will cost you dearly. One wrong link and you get
blacklisted faster than a Hollywood has-been.

Step 7 – Make sure that the people with whom you are swapping links
are still linking back to you. Some people play dirty and drop
your links after a few weeks. This way they build one way links
and give you the short end of the deal.
