I am looking for between 30-60 directories that meet these requirements:

#1, Updated as of today.
#2, Search Engine friendly type URL’s.
#3, Rank With Google, MSN and Yahoo.
#4, Not full of spam.
#5, No hidden text or links.
#6, Both paid and free listings.
#7, No recipricol link is needed/asked about.
#8, Category for real estate.
#9, Human Edited would be great.
#10, A timely manner inwhich sites are to be accepted.

Example of a site I like:

http://joeant.com

I’ll tell you one thing. The best human edited site out there that is free to post to and that has an amazing PR (Google Page Rank) is www.dmoz.com.

Getting a link from one high ranking PR site is better than hundreds of low ranking PR sites.

It may take some time to get listed with Dmoz, but it’s well worth it.

Hope this helps!

In my last keyword building article I wrote about how to select keywords that would generate the highest return with the least amount of work.

I demonstrated how employing advanced search strings and recording Overture data can be used to find keywords with very little competition and high search volumes. My conclusion was that by conducting keyword research in this manner, ranking for keywords becomes easier.

The next step in Keyword Building is learning how to organize a site around a keyword list for fast ranking and best results. The following is my strategy for doing so.

What You’ll Need

• A finalized list of keywords as well as their corresponding search volumes and number of competitors.
• Excel, or some other spreadsheet program.
• An understanding of the site’s industry, and which terms are semantically related.
• Enough SEO knowledge to decide which words from your list are “low competition.”

Low Competition Keywords

“Low competition” is a relative term. To illustrate why, search the term “Marietta, Georgia real estate” in Google. Here are the key numbers:

• 99 inachor and intitle competitors for the term
• 1,300 searches for the term each month
• 330.8 average backlinks for a top 10 result
• 4.2 average page rank of a top 10 result

Now here are some seemingly perplexing numbers regarding the 9th result:

• It has only 8 backlinks
• It also has a PR of 0

Meanwhile the 10th result has…

• 240 backlinks
• PR of 3

This raises the question of why the 10th result doesn’t rank higher than the 9th result, as well as why the 9th result is even on the first page. The answer is two-fold:

• The 9th result is a sub-page optimized singularly for that search term.
• The 9th result’s domain has roughly 1.1 million more backlinks than any other site on the SERP and is a subdomain of Yahoo.com.

For Yahoo, a term with 99 competitors and 1,300 searches every month is very “low competition.” However, because it has optimized a page for the search term, and is well trusted by Google, it easily ranks.

When organizing your keywords, picking out the “low competition” words is an integral part to driving traffic. Devote a page to every word that will easily rank from your list, optimizing the title tag, h1 tag and keyword density.

Remember, just as you look to Yahoo, thinking, “I wish I could rank for a word like that without having to link-build” so too will a site smaller than yours say of your “low competition” keyword pages.

High Competition Keywords

Keywords that will require a link-building strategy before ranking are considered “high competition.” High competition keywords should be broken down into semantically similar groups. Intuition is largely used to separate the keywords, but here are a few universal guidelines:

• Keep the groups under 6 words each.
• Group phrases together with more than one word in common.
• Check to see if two keywords return similar results in Google.
• No group should have only 1 keyword. Maximize the efforts of your link building.

Once the keywords have been semantically split, prepare an optimized title tag containing all of the keywords from that group. Also choose one word from each group which is the most important to get ranking. That term should be what is in the anchor text of your links when you begin a link building campaign.

Overall, this strategy will save you hours of fiddling and tweaking. Remember, SEO is no different than any other business process – it requires a plan. Practice these tips and you will see success.

Can anyone recommend a good free SEO course that can outline the basics and get me started?

Hi,

Seomoz is a good resource, as is search engine land.

Basically SEO is about attaining a ranking in the search engines. One of the ways (emphasis on the ONE), is to generate one way inbound links, which I detail below:

Try to steer clear of back link exchange sites and reciprocal links. These will just take up your time and don’t offer a great deal of value unless you can get a reciprocal link from a high page rank authority site that is.

What you are looking for is one way links, that’s links from one site pointing to your own site. Think of a link as a vote, the more votes you generate the better your chances of rising up the search engines results. It’s not all about the number of links though, generating quality, relevant links is key.

Moving on from this, try to generate this type of link from a site with at least a page rank of two. You can easily tell the page rank of a site by downloading the page rank tool bar, available on most search engines.

Methods:

Try researching your competitors. Use Link diagnosis or Yahoo site explorer. Tyr to generate links from sites pointing to your competitors sites.

Blog posts. Find relevant blogs, read the posts and comments and join in the conversation by adding something interesting, leave your thoughts, offer help, and leave a link pointing to your site with your key words as the anchor text.

Article submission: Write articles on your subject, post to article directories – leaving your link in the resource box.

Free directory submission. Generate a list of free web directories; submit your site for a free link.

Dmoz: Although not as powerful as it once was, submit your site to the open directory project.

Forums. Can be time consuming as you really need to become ‘part of the community’ before being able to generate a link, but well worth the effort.

These are just a few of the ‘free’ methods. Keep doing your research and remember it takes time and consistent effort.

Happy link hunting!

If you’re approached by an online marketing agency claiming they can get you a Top 10 search engine ranking “overnight”, turn around and run away!

That’s the advice a prominent Arizona SEO Company offers to business owners who are looking to get to the top of the search engine results quickly.

Search on any term in Google and you’re likely to get thousands of web addresses returned to you. And, if you’re like the average surfer, you’ll never click below the Top 10 listings. That’s because nearly 100% of anyone’s search requirements are fully satisfied by web sites appearing on the first of the many search engine result pages (SERPs). If you’re not on the first page, you might as well not be there at all.

The only way to earn and keep a Top 10 rating, other than buying your way to the top by bidding outrageous amounts of money for a laundry list of key words, is to use natural search engine optimization techniques.

Often called “organic search engine optimization”, these natural search engine optimization techniques work because the online marketing agency, or search engine optimization firm, using them creates pages of web content that are specially designed to attract search engine “spiders”.

These pages are optimized with just the right blend of targeted key words, proper HTML tags, and a page/web linking strategy that search engines look for.

Natural search engine optimization is part art and part science and a lot of online marketing experts are getting it wrong. That’s why our contact at a noted Chandler Web Firm recommends that you check out the references that a search engine optimization firm provides before you sign any agreement.

Besides checking references, which can always be faked, ask the online marketing agency for a list of key words that they have achieved Top 10 ratings for. Then search on those terms and see if any of the web sites in the Top 10 match the reference list you were given.

Finally, our Arizona SEO Company friend says that you should beware of any search engine optimization company that cannot provide a couple of local references. After all, how good of a marketing agency can a company be if they claim to be a Scottsdale marketing company and they don’t have any clients in their home town?

When it comes to backlinking , ie. off site optimatization, there is only one thing that is really important to your rankings. And Link dozer does exactly that, it takes care of your highly unique content, which is stated to be 60% or more of your SEO. As Google is stating, content is the king.

You should go with guidelines to that and you should do fine. Show respect to Google and its search engine will love you. Of course G. is changing and developing his algorithems all the time, that is because, he is in need for quallity content to provide it to his readers.

So if you want to rank higher you must be always one step ahead of G.`s development and have an approach which G. Is not yet following, that means you must leave no footprints of your system.

Link dozer in first place is SEO educational place, at least for me, and regarding to what I`ve read inside the forum, it was really an eye opening, even for most experienced members in the field.

Besides that LD is content management tool and as well content production tool. Once properly prepared article, it can create you large quantities of highly unique and readable contents, which generates you links and traffic to your site.

Ld is sustained of its own blog network, which has strictly rules about only allowing high quality content to be posted on. So that through time, the value of blog network linking to your site grows bigger and becomes authority in Google s eyes.

Regarding automation and Link dozer, I must dissapoint you since this is not a push button solution. LD is build in a way that allowes you to have a clean record of everything you perform inside. Of course you create acounts half automatically, verify them and use those accounts to post your content to article directories, to its blog network and social media 2.0 sites.

When talking about Link Dozer i cant not to mention, its developer, Kristina Saric, originaly coming from Croatia,. She is true, »no hype« SEO specialist and programer, her insight, knowledge, and expertise regarding SEO is “mind boggling”. It feels like she doesnt sleep at all; besides her developing work of LD, she is reachable in forum and her support by email is second to none.

And since all the best things come in limited editions, Link Dozer is limited to only 300 members. Cant tell if this is scarcity tactic of Kristina or no, but as I had a chance to get a feel of her, I wouldnt say so.

Anyway, if you are thinking about joining in, you better act fast, cause now in the moment of writing, there is quite over 200 members allready inside gaining incredible knowledge of Kristina and her system.

If you think you are ready for long term SEO success, you can join our Link Dozer community through my affiliate link.

As I am aware of pretty high subscription price of 97 USD, and fact that there is no money back guarantee and quite big learning curve of using LD, I am offering you to try it for half less for the first 2 months, that is 50 % off the regular price.

After you click below and make a subscription to LD, send me your PayPal receipt to my kstibilj@gmail.com

Before you join, make sure to clear your cookies, so I can be credited for it and consequentlly be able to refund you half the price.
