How To Re­verse En­gi­neer My #1 Google Rankings

From Willie Craw­ford.

To many on­line mar­keters, get­ting a #1 list­ing on Google for your tar­get key­word phrases is „heaven.” It does lead to many times more traf­fic than be­ing even #2 or #3. If you’re not on the first page of Google, you may as well for­get get­ting any sig­nif­i­cant traf­fic in many niches. At least you should plan on gen­er­at­ing your traf­fic via other chan­nels since few searchers look past the first page of search en­gine results.

Google the terms „joint ven­ture ex­pert” or „land for $100” and you’ll see that I rank #1 for both terms and have for a VERY long time.

Yes, peo­ple do search on those terms, re­gard­less of what you might think, and they both gen­er­ate sub­stan­tial in­comes for me, but they are not my most prof­itable key­words. They are just key­words that I will use to prove to you that I have a clue about how to get top Google list­ings. You re­ally shouldn’t lis­ten to “ex­perts” who can’t back up with they teach with proof.

Next, I in­vite you to try to re­verse en­gi­neer what I did. Ac­tu­ally, I’ll share much of my se­cret process with you. Not all of what I do is very obvious. 

Here are the things that I do:

1) I tar­get spe­cific, long-tail, buy­ing key­words. It’s eas­ier to rank for 3-5 word phrases, and peo­ple en­ter­ing those phrases into the search en­gines are look­ing for some­thing very spe­cific. This is the traf­fic that you want to attract.

2) I use ar­ti­cle mar­ket­ing ex­ten­sively to gen­er­ate mas­sive back­links. All things be­ing equal, the one with the most back­links from rel­e­vant qual­ity sites WINS.

3) I use video mar­ket­ing, sub­mit­ting to top video shar­ing sites us­ing ti­tles and de­scrip­tions op­ti­mized for my keywords.

4) I use pod cast­ing, sub­mit­ting my au­dios to nu­mer­ous pod­cast di­rec­to­ries, as well as of­fer­ing them from nu­mer­ous web­sites. Peo­ple who hear your au­dio mes­sage, and click through to your site, ar­rive pre-sold on your and ready to fol­low your recommendations.

My pod cast sub­mis­sions are also key­word optimized!

5) I use my key­words in an­chor text on my blogs, and in ar­ti­cle di­rec­to­ries where allowed.

6) I gen­er­ate a LOT of con­tent, and re­pur­pose that con­tent reg­u­larly. I pub­li­cize that con­tent on so­cial net­work­ing sites, on other re­source sites that al­low me to pub­li­cize my con­tent, and even in press releases.

For ex­am­ple, I post an­nounce­ments of my up­dated con­tent of­ten to IMNewsWatch.com, TeleseminarNation.com and lead­ing in­dus­try forums.

7) I use au­toma­tion. If I had to hand sub­mit all of my con­tent I would only be able to dis­trib­ute 110th as much. All things be­ing equal, he who sub­mits the most qual­ity con­tent wins.

8) I ad­here to the rules and terms of ser­vice at the ar­ti­cle, video, pod­casts, and press re­lease shar­ing sites. It does no good to get great rank­ings, only to be banned a few weeks or months later (hav­ing all of your con­tent re­moved, and your work go to waste). I use 100% white­hat tactics.

9) I gen­er­ate qual­ity con­tent. I does no good to throw garbage at the search en­gines. You’ll only at­tract non-re­spon­­sive traf­fic (wast­ing band­width and giv­ing you use­less web­site traf­fic con­ver­sion sta­tis­tics), and you’ll also even­tu­ally ex­pe­ri­ence back­lash. Write pri­mar­ily for hu­mans, but keep­ing good SEO in mind. The sim­plest way to do that is to use your pri­mary key­words in your ti­tles and de­scrip­tions, when cre­at­ing and up­load­ing con­tent. Also be sure to use your pri­mary key­words through­out your content.

10) I cre­ate ex­ter­nal links to some of my con­tent posted on sites OTHER THAN my pri­mary sites. Link­ing to con­tent that then links to your pri­mary sites in­creases the rel­e­vance of ex­ter­nal links from that con­tent point­ing to your pri­mary sites. That helps the con­tent on your pri­mary sites rank higher longer. SEO ex­perts call that „adding link juice!” If you don’t do this, you’ll of­ten rank high for given key­words only for a few days, and then quickly drop in rank­ing. Adding „link juice” helps the rank­ing „stick.”

There you have it - how I get and main­tain #1 Google rank­ings for tons of key­words that my buy­ing cus­tomers search on reg­u­larly at Google. Model what I do, and you’ll get sim­i­lar results.
