What Would i do to get my site ranking high?

[KLLC]

Hello Friends,

I need your help please tell me what would I do to get my site ranking high in Google search engine. When I start my work on my site my work blog commenting , social bookmarking,  keyword targeting  etc.… But now the scene is completely changing. Now I am working on just guest blogging. I don’t understand that what would I do next after the guest blogging. Because I think there is now just one way to promote your site VIA guest blogging. Now please tell me is there any other option to work and get high ranking?

_Ok probably I am going to take the bull by its horn. And probably I am going to get lynched publicly for this.

But here it goes. This is a valid reason to be worried about. Not all the business organizations are in a position to spend money lavishly on PPC or any other marketing platform. And I do not think that Google will ever going to penalize your website for guest blogging but again a note of caution; you should not keep all your eggs in one basket._

_However, you should not take guest blogging that way. The purpose of guest blogging is to share visitors and that is. Do not use exact matched anchor texts and do not abuse the system. The same goes with Forum posting. If you are in the forum, adding value to it, helping other people, solving issues; you have the right to add a link to your website in the signature section. And again, let me reiterate the fact that you should not abuse or game the system. As long as you are playing by the rule, you are safe. _

In addition to providing content that is useful and concentrating more on social media (which I both agree on), you have to ensure that your site is well structured for SEO success.

Read this short article about on site optimisation factors - http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/on-page-factors. Remember, you need to worry about external (links, shares etc) and internal (on site factors, a very good internal linking strategy etc).

These 2 go hand in hand, you need to have both to have successful SEO results.

Good luck!

Alex your reply is very helpful. In addition to Guest Blogging & Infographics, i recommend to more concentrate on Social Media also. Read this Post on Social Media : http://mashable.com/2012/08/22/search-rank-social-media/. As you know nowadays Social Media are very important part to get site ranked.

Provide content that people want to read, that is better than anything above your website in the SERPs. Or fill a valuable niche that hasn't been taken yet. Are you guest blogging for the sake of guest blogging and building links? If so, they're not good reasons - take a look at this: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-real-benefits-of-guest-blogging

I'm a bit worried about your comment "what would I do next after the guest blogging" as none of the tactics are things you should do in patches and then move on to something else - that won't look natural to the search engines. You need to commit to a mix of tactics over time.
