Content is QUEEN Links are KING!!!
Many SEO experts will tell you content is king. My tests have shown this is B.S.
I realize this report isn’t exactly what you’ve heard before, however it is factual. I am not going to reveal the names of sites just to protect them as they are not my own sites. But I will tell you why, based on facts that I have learned, one way links are more important than site content.
Here’s the deal I have recently started working for a new client because their pages couldn’t seem to get to the first page of Google so I took the challenge and went to work for them.
The first page I read made me wonder why it was even there. All of the content was extremely poorly written as if someone with no or very limited English speaking and writing skills had attempted to write the article. I think the source is a content spinner. They are not neatly written variations of sentences but a product of crap article spinning software.
Most of these pages were also in some pretty competitive keywords, like 4 million competing sites and up so it was very clear and obvious to me the previous ‘seo’ guy didn’t know what he was doing or was extremely lazy.
A 5 year old could do this good even with only a free article spinner he got in 2 minutes off of download com.
The site was so poorly formatted internally, the anchor text were things like home and now, they weren’t going after their key words with their inner text links, and there was no site map for the search bots to easily follow. This is SEO 101 and none of it had been done.
So here’s what’s immediately clear from this result, if content was King there is no way in heck that those pages belonged on the first page of any search engine, not to mention Google! I went on with my study and research. I will tell you about my finding.
No matter whether they are from low quality websites, all had links to their domain. Next I took a look at their poorly ranking pages to see if there were problems immediately apparent and sure enough there were because these pages had no or very few incoming links.
After copying links from the other pages, it only took two weeks to get my clients’ website on the first page of a Google search results for every single site I did for them.
I did this mainly to prove a point to them and get fast results and now am going back to get them quality links from power, authority domains so their sites will have staying power in their first page rankings.
Needles to say, I now have been given their entire SEO duties and web 2.0 marketing department and at the same time I have found the secret to SEO, LINKS, LINKS and more LINKS!
