For one of my domain created one and a half months back, I was ranking good for specific searches. Say if I have reviewed any product, if you search for that product, I rank in the first page. Fair enough, but that does not bring massive traffic because I never did review based on product popularity, instead I just review what I find on my way and that too with no affiliate link and optimized only for adsense (getting 25% CTR ).
Lets be more specific, my domain relates to ‘Make money online‘ and ‘Work from home’ and say I reviewed for website like ‘sponsoredreviews’, ‘payperpost’, ‘mylot’ etc. So if anyone search for these keyword, I always come in first page. I was quite satisfied because its a month old blog. But the click what I was getting is 100/day which was too dull for me. And for the main keyword like ‘Make Money online’ ‘Work from home’, ‘Home based business’. ‘make money guide, I was not ranking in the Top 100 (You know how competitive this keyword is)… And I did something which made my page to come in Top 50 in the first attempt and Top 10 in second attempt. Traffic surged from 100 /day to 3400/day on an average
I dont know if I can call it blackhat, but definitely not a white. Give a try for instant result….
What I did:
- (1) I modified .htaccess file. At the bottom, I added
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ / [R=302,L]
What it does is, it forward all the internal pages to homepage.. You type anything www.yourdomain.com/****/****.html and it will come to www.yourdomain.com
- (2) Added one plain HTML page in root directory named ‘index.html’
- (3) Edited that index.html like this
- a) Title – Your 2 anchor keyword
- b) In the body, 2 lines of text filled with your main keyword in <h1> tag
- c) Search your keyword in google and pick any 3 result from top 10 result and copy the first para of each article
- d) make this copied article in Bold
- e) Add <h2> tag with your first Keyword
- f) go to keyword tool in adword and type your main keyword and see all the relevant keyword coming into result. Note any 10 result (two short keyword, two 3/4 word keyword, six long tail keywords) and add these keywords under <h2> tag defined above and keep it in <h3> tag
- g) Now repeat the steps (e) and (f) for your second Keyword (anchor text)
- (4) Ping your blog through pingler and pingthatblog
- (5) Leave it for a day
- (6) after 24 hours, remove that added line in .htaccess file and rename or delete index.html file added into the root directory
