Comment posted on 15 Scalable SEO Strategies for Newly Launched Websites by kaiserthesage
Hi Andrew,
I do agree with the idea of outsourcing the marketing side of blog posts, especially through Social media, given that it does require a lot time and it’s also important to be consistent with it.
I’m already looking into product creation, thanks for the push, I might get into it sooner than expected

Haha, I think we have talked about that problem of yours a few months back on Alan Mater’s blog (your kryptonite - keyword research).
You should try using Traffic Travis, it’s a free SEO software, and the tool is capable of suggesting good long tail keywords for your campaign

Staying consistent, mastering your methods and taking them to a higher level, those are some things that I keep in mind when it comes to link building. I really liked your tip about focusing on 3 - 4 methods that you find best to suit your campaign (knowing that I do the same), though sometimes, your favorite methods won’t just work on any other niche (like guest blog posting or app/widget building on a not so interesting industry ex. barcode scanners, furniture, etc…), wherein you need to adapt with what fits that industry.
Your comment made me quite interested with what you do in building links

#1 is where I’m kinda stuck, speakeasy of long tails. I currently have one that someone helped me with, as you can see in my name field. I’m hoping to find someone that can help me gain 2-3 more sometime.

Thanks for the attempt kaiserthesage, but let me ask you something…I suppose like with all other tools, I first have to enter something in order for it to suggest things, yes?…this is where I stick, right at the beginning.

Great post! Thanks for the specific tips - I used some of them today as I’m training a company about blogging, SEO, and Social media strategies.
Questions on #8 and #9: what’s the best way to find those specific sites. Is it something like “your keyword phrase” “comment luv” or “your keyword phrase” “recent comments plugin” or…?
This may sound like a no-brainer question but I’m curious if there’s a better way.
Thanks!

Great info Jason.
You have to step up your/our game if we want to stay on top and this techniques if used properly and timed right can boost your rank. For example if you have a few months old blog and you are linking to some great blogger you will most likely be ignored.
As a young blogger you should start your networking with bloggers like you that have just started or not yet affected by the laurels of their glory.
Backtracing your opponents backlinks is usually good for normal website and less for bloggers, because bloggers usually get all their links through mentions, guests posts and blogroll. And this is heavily influenced by the articles they write but it can be used to gain some links that matter.
Also, using the recent Comments plugin is a temporary solution and there is a need to build links in order to maintain the rankings you might have obtained through this strategy.
Great cheat sheet, Jason!

Hi Jason,
Great info and it doesn’t only apply to new sites. A lot of us would still need to implement some of these strategies.
I’m currently focusing on guest blogging as it has been said time and time again that it offers great benefits with regard to traffic generation, exposure and link building.
I agree with Ana - I’m now linking to posts NOT to the home page, to get noticed by the bloggers I’m linking to.
Thanks for sharing your insights, Jason.
All the best,

I always put special emphasis on internal linking between pages, for example, if you write about fashion clothes and refer to a certain type of shoes that would fit with these clothes and you have previously written about shoes, link to this post from the fashion clothes article.
Regarding #4, do authority bloggers even notice even if you link to a post? Heck, most of the top blogs these days are high ranking “guest posting hubs” that just, well publish guest posts! Better, spend time on something else!

Hi Jason, Kumusta.
Profile linking is something so many people miss out on, we all have article directory and web 2.0 profiles, and many many more, but how many actually make use of them.
15 great tips there, it is very easy to get caught up in all the “you must do this” and “you must do that” that we forget the main goals and principles.
Find 3 or 4 things that work for you and run with them, stay consistent.

I don’t really have a set plan for link building. Different content requires different methods.
Depending on your keywords, some require a lot more work, and also a bit more aggressive tactics (not black hat, we’ve moved on from that)
Link building can get time consuming if you let it. Although some daily tasks can really help to boost your blog posts rankings.

Wow great post Jason,
Just read another post about an hour ago pertaining to SEO tactics but yours was much more thorough with listing more options. I will admit that I am implementing many of what you mentioned.
Excellent points and especially if it’s not a new site. I also like to look at things from a newbie’s perspective as well because this industry can be very overwhelming at first. Just take one day at a time and do what you can. That’s the best way to just get started.
Thanks again,

Hector Cuevas´s last blog ..How To Record & Edit Audio Using Free Software for the ‘non-techie’
Hi Hector,
You’re on the right track man, guest posting is the one method that I see that provides a lot of advantages, which offers stronger links as you have full control of the content to make it more relevant to your targeted search phrase (really great in improving search rankings). As to commenting on blogs, I suggest that you direct it to other pages on your site (your about page is the best landing page for it), to improve deep linking

It’s actually one of my favorite methods in link building, since it’s hard to replicate. I really envy people that have PR 5 and above profile pages on Youtube (a lot of link juice and they don’t realize its importance), that’s why I’m pimping my About.me profile for the past 2 months.

Amazing how many of my posts became popular once I learned how to network. If you created tons of content before networking make sure to dust off a few of your best old posts, they can become classics.

Thanks. Glad that you’ve enjoyed this post.
I recently had a competition (a blog post) that have all his links built through yahoo answers, and that page is still topping the SERPs. Those backlinks were just plain URLs and no anchor texts where actually used to direct on that page, yet they are still on the top, crazy right?

Hello Jason,
This is most impressive article, I and my friends are thinking for a website and we didn’t covered all these these bullet points in our mind. Very soon we are going to launch it. This article really inspired me.
Well, I am absolutely agree with you said we need to optimize for long tail keyword. Why it is right I ever heard and it really works for lead generation. Traffic from long tail keywords comes which exactly we target. Short and completive keywords take too much time to get visible in top of SERP.
I am little bit confused should we really do external article submission? like in ezine or webpronews. I heard it also work for good traffic generation.
Thanks
Atul Vhale´s last blog ..3 important actions in Online Reputation Management ORM
The best thing about longtail keywords is that it can really generate highly targeted traffic, which makes it much easier for you to sell as well as to rank on SERPs.
Article marketing/submissions is very effective, and I’ve used that technique on some of my previous campaigns, though it really depends on your site’s goals. But if I were to choose, I’d be spending more time with writing more content on for my site/blog and focus more with guest blogging (but has far more advantages than article submission).
Regards,
Jason
Great post, so many ideas, makes it so clear for new site owners who don’t know where to start. I often find that they’re all keen to get the site up and running but some of the smaller buisnesses aren’t so keen on or think there is a need for SEO.

Jason,
This is an excellent checklist for new sites.
Because I have a tendency to look at things from a Newbie prospective. This list may appear to be a little overwhelming. So using it as a checklist and working to complete each item would be a good idea for Newbies.
Soon these will be good habits and resources you always fall back on.

I love saying that i agree and I like the post
But this time I will only say I like it and disagree with a thing or two.
I am very surprised about you saying that we should optimize for long tail keywords.
I have a website with thousands of visitors and I have never optimized for long tail. They come by themselves. I write a page for a searched keyword and the long tail is the result of my writing.
I just think if we would optimize for a long tail it would make the writing more difficult and sometimes even weird. Including a “how to” in a body content is OK, when it makes sense, but optimizing for a long tail is something I would not really bother with.
There are so many long tail for the word “link building” that there is no way you can optimize for them. But that doesn’t mean you won’t be found for them. Any part of the sentence in your post can end up being a long tail that will bring you traffic.
When it comes to getting attention of some bigger blogs, I do need to say that I have noticed that most of them don’t care. Yes, Most of them don’t care!
They don’t have trackbacks/pingbacks turned on. They don’t approve them, so many of those links you are hoping for are not gonna be there.
Some of them won’t care if you mention them a billion times, in a blog post or on Twitter.
Brankica@How to blog like a star´s last blog ..Keyword Questions from Wordtracker Research your market’s needs
You have mention some great points there Brankica, and I definitely agree with what you have pointed out when it comes to getting the “pros” attention. The best way to really make it out there, sometimes, is to really have your own identity in your chosen niche, since this way, influential people around your industry will get to notice you through what you are offering to the community.
With regards to optimizing your blog/site for long tail keywords, what I really like about this strategy is that it doesn’t need that much of off-page optimization/link building, by just using your long tail keywords as the title of the post and having the content strictly about the long tail keyword can get it rank higher on SERPs for its relevance. Of course, you still need your main keywords to be optimized, but to really improve your site’s traffic generation campaign, it’s always a great move to diversify your traffic magnet.

Jason
Hi Jason!
Wow. A few of these I had never considered! I love how detailed this list is.
I gotta say, a lot of people may knock establishing your brand through forums, but it really, really works. I used this technique way back in the day of 2001 and it worked like a charm. My site ranked and I was known as the ‘go to gal’ for my niche.
It can take a bit of effort to become an expert on a forum. I guess anything in this crazy internet world takes a bit of effort, though.
Thanks for the post!

Hi Morgan,
True! It’s really a great way to drive relevant traffic. It does take some time before you can establish your brand through forums, though if you really know how things work in your niche, it’s much easier to grab people’s attention from forums. Spending 30 minutes a day participating - adding real value to discussions and answering questions on forum sites will help drive interested visitors to your site.

Jason
Great info. Any suggestions on where to find forums related to a specific niche?
