Whats next after I rank for many keywords?
-
I have a client who came to me wanting to know what's next for her as she already ranks in the top 5 for hundreds of keywords. She is right, her rankings for her niche are excellent and there are no relevant keywords for her to try and go after. What would be next to generate traffic?
p.s She also has links from just about everyone in the industry that's relevant
There has to be more "tricks" to seo besides keywords and link building

got it, thanks for your feedback
-
It was very serious rather than sarcastic. If you used some of the typical SEO tricks the damage done to your site could really cut your business and result in you laying off employees.
We have no idea of your level of knowledge. So it is better to warn you about tricks than to see you return here crying - even if you don't like it.
-
thanks, I understand the other ways to build traffic, looking for more SEO strategies here .

I don't think his comment is well said at all, I think it is sarastic. As I said in my question, I am looking for more of a solution than keywords and linking, I am not looking for black hat "tricks" just other strategies. He took a word in my question and spun it in a negative fashion

Does traffic make your client money, or do conversions make your client money? Are the people doing what you want them to once they get on the site? Optimizing for conversions may be the next thing to focus on -- make use of that traffic you're already getting.

I would try to rank next in top 3 for those hundred of keywords by deploying some fine tuning.
Next I would go for long tail on a very wide range especially if it's related to shoes.
My 2 cents.
-
well same here i agree with EGOL and will not try any "tricks" this days.
if she already have links from all relevant sites go to the next step and get her more customers by starting social media marketing.
you can also just to feel that you are doing the job for her and it will also help get a press out there and talk about the new models she have.
hope that help

Sponsor local races
- Marathons
- half marathons
- 10k's
- 5k's
- Tie these all to charities
- Again Press releases online but sent to local papers.
This will get you more Branding Benefits and closer to the Top Spot.
-
Well said, from what I've gathered here, tricks get you into long term trouble. It has to be about the long term versus the right now.
-
If your client is already ranking extremely well for that many keywords I'm sure she is already incorporating these tactics which are basic.
- social media: Especially Google+
- Offline tactics with online Press Releases directed to local media for positive exposure on and off line. Which will also help for greater rankings to get towards the #1 spot.
- How are they ranking on the other search engines?
- Info-graphics specific to their industry to be directed to all local bloggers and site owners.
- Brand Building:
- PPC Campaign: It is beneficial to be both in the paid and non paid positions since most people naturally want to click on the non-paid link. This gives you more impressions.
These tactics directly and indirectly add to SEO.
Hope this helps. Goof luck

I wouldn't be looking for "tricks" these days.

The difference between "top 5" and "top 3" for hundreds of keywords will probably be hundreds to thousands of visitors per DAY (depending upon the keywords)
-
thanks, good thoughts, but would love more. The industry is shoes BTW
-
#1 for everything is always a start.
Increasing long tail traffic is always an option (assuming you don't already have plenty of longtail traffic).
Depending on the industry it might be an option to increase traffic from referring sites or social media not to mention affiliate marketing.

Diluting your authority - adding pages diluting rankings of other pages?
I'm looking after a site that has around 400 pages. All of these pages rank pretty well for the KW they are targetting. My question is: if we add another 400 pages without doing any link building work, holding DA the same, 1) would the rankings of those 400 previously good pages diminish? and 2) Would the new pages, as more and more new ones are created, rank less and less well?

Are Keywords Dying?
I'm freelancing in SEO work, looking to make it a full time career, and as a result I'm juggling the prospect of having to pick and choose what area I spend most of my time on when working on client sites. My background is in writing so I always lean towards creating content and engaging people via social media. But the standard is also to optimize page titles and - at a deeper level - descriptions for each page. For larger sites, especially e-commerce with many product pages, this is a daunting task. Is it worth it or is the better strategy to focus the limited time available to content creation? Will page titles, etc. eventually become obsolete anyway?

Another Domain ranking instead of my Domain
Hi My Domain name is Replicahause.net, 2 weeks ago my server had an outage for 3 days and my rankings dissappeared in google entirely, however i also noticed that when i typed in my domain name "replicahause" or "replicahause.net" , i would see abhishekyadav.com appearing on #1 in google which does a 301 into Replicahause.net I was able to convince the owner of Abhishekyadav to remove the 301 but my site Replicahause.net's Rankings still does not appear to have come back to google, is there something i'm missing here ? We were ranked #1 to #10 for at least 40 keywords, they've just seemed to dissappeard after the server downtime we had and the 301 from AbhishekYadav.com Thanks

Source for how many searches are done on Google per day?
Hi, All! The figure I've seen going around is 3 billion and is attributed to ComScore, but in the comScore press release that was linked to (actually the one from Rand's article - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/21-tactics-to-increase-blog-traffic-2012) all I could find was percentage of market share, but no total numbers of searches. Anyone have a source on that? Thanks, Aviva
