Keywords Ranking Secret?
-
When I searched "long dresses" in Google.com, and found the following page is ranked on top 10
http://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=long+summer+dresses
But there is no back link pointing to this page, so why does this company manage to rank high for such a competitive keyword without link building? Any opinions?

lol.... NO!

Ah I'm afraid I haven't read the whole thing. I have this tendency to only ever read two thirds of any book before starting on the next one... I have a shelf full on partially read books with only a couple completely read. I tell myself that one day I will finish them all but I'm curious to see if that will ever happen.
To Rand and the others credit, the Art of SEO is one of the only ones I've read all of. I wonder if there's any relation in terms of where he got the title?

I really enjoy reading his book. I have it on my phone and read a chapter whenever I have a few minutes. I've read it several times and see so many applications of it to SEO and business competition.

Very few pages rank well for competitive keywords using "secrets".
Sun Tzu, a military philosopher from about 500 BC said... "It is possible to know how to conquer without being able to do it."
The same is true on the web today. It comes down to a "battle of resources" applied over basic smarts.

Firstly, this page has a PR 2 which clearly explains that this page has backlinks. It only depends upon the tool you are using to view it. Secondly, if you go to the home page and then search "long dresses", you will get the same page which means that this page exists and is in the index of the search engine

If you run the seomoz term target tool on the page it scores very well across the board.
Looking at the title, meta description and page content it appears to be a well optimized page for the term. For it to have no links to it at all would suggest it is a newish page, so it might drop a few pages over the next few days - it's not uncommon for a new, well written page to rank well for a week or so and then drop a little.

There are backlinks, it's just the OSE hasn't picked the site up yet:

Question about ranking and links
Hi, Some back ground info first: My DA/PA is 42, the competitors who show up in the search engines for the term I am after have DA/PA 55/60. I have been creating anchor text links which target the term im after through guest blogging usually blogs with DA/PA 40+, I did this consistently with a guest post every 3 days for about a month so that's around 10 guest posts. And I also did some brand name blog comments, but these were no-follow and added sig to some forums. This moved me from page 5 to page 1, position 4. I then stopped and over the last 3 weeks it slipped to position 6 then to position 8. The competition doesn't look to actively target this term looking at the data from opensite explorer there main anchor text is there brand names. Why would I be slipping through the results? Not moaning just want to understand why so I can counter it. I was thinking about going for social signals through a blog to help.

What can I do to increase this page's rank
I have this page that is doing alright for the phrase "skyward sword walkthrough" I used to be ranked number 2 but it has dropped http://legendzelda.net/skyward-sword-walkthrough/ Sites like IGN are huge so I do not blame them for overpassing my rank but zelda informer I feel like I should be outranking at least. I have a fairly good on page ranking grade using the seomoz tool. And the OSE shows I have 11 domains linking - most with some kind of variation to that keyword. And I have actually built out more since then. Most the links are on highly relevant pages. I contacted a lot of gaming sites before this game was released and asked for a link back in exchange for a variety of things (shoutouts mostly - no paid links) The page performed extremely well when Skyward Sword came out and I got hundreds of thousands of hits but as my rank is beginning to drop its a lot less (also can be attributed to hype dying down). But any suggestions or glaring issues would be great. Link building is something I am always doing as well - mostly through guest blogging.

Natural Anchor Text distribution for brand = main keyword
Dear folks, I will start link building for my all new site www.buy-hosting.net and would greatly appreciate your opinion about some questions: 1.) How many links would you in my place seed per day? I plan to start with directory links and sincere, useful contributions in blogs and forums, with my URL in the signiture. 2.) Natural anchor text distribution:
Link Building | | ie4mac
My brand Buy-Hosting.net ist the same as my main targeted keywords "Buy Hosting". However, I also want to have a natural looking link profile, so I would seed links like "Click here" or "Windows Hosting" or "Webhosting" as well. How would you distribute die Anchor Text Precentage ?
E.g. (60% Buy Hosting - 10% Windows Hosting - 10% Click here - 10% Joomla Hosting - 10% Hosting Reviews)? Does that make sense or is that already spammy? 3.) How many No-Follow links would you seed (in %)?
4.) How many links (in %) would you seed to subpages, instead of the main page? Are there larger margins for Keywords, that eqal the Domain/Brand Name, without being conted as spam? Is there a good article about the natural distribution of anchor texts? Your input is greatly appreciated and thoroughly considered.
Thank you and kind regards0
