The Story
I have been doing search engine optimization research recently and there is one thing that came to my mind. A optimization tactic I used in the marketing of GamingType.
The tactic
I thought it was good for site’s image to be posted on many blogs. Articles about gamingtype were posted on over 1,000 blogs. My idea was to make the site get more traffic from the posts however I discovered something much better. Somewhere in the article there was a contextual link linking to PC category of gamingtype using the title “pc game directory”. Guess what, after 2 weeks:
http://www.google.md/search?hl=ru&q=pc+game+directory&btnG=%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA&lr=
So I understood what works on google (I am pretty sure you did too). In-contextual links. We all know google is against paid links, but how can an algorithm find a paid link if a human can’t do it? Would you recognize a link inside a random article to be paid?
The profit
I don’t have to explain it all, do I? You know what happens when your site ranks high on SERP’s
