What Would i do to get my site ranking high?
-
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?

Thank You Very much All of you friends. It help me a lot.

_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.
This mammoth post is very useful too: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-noob-guide-to-online-marketing-with-giant-infographic-11928

Mobile site not ranking
Hello, I have a m.site.com version of my original site. It is about 1/10 the size, and no matter what I do-I can't get the site to rank. I've added more pages and specified canonical etc etc. Should I add as many pages as my larger site has? Are there specific places I should be submitting this version beyond the typical? I am at a loss, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! L

On-site adjustment opinions
Hi folks, I've got a fairly interesting scenario. I'm trying to rank this page (http://www.staysa.co.za/sa/1-2-0-0-1/East-London/accommodation) better for the term, "accommodation east london". The client isn't keen on making many changes and it was built horribly with ASP, half CMS, half not. I have made the following changes today: I introduced two paragraphs of text below the H1 tag. I changed "East London Bed and Breakfast", "East London Conference Venues", "East London Cottage / Chalet" to just "Bed and Breakfast", "Conference Venues", "Cottage / Chalet" as the continual key phrase duplication in my experience is a bad move. I've made a change to the title tag (this is a huge mission as it's not CMS controlled, so I had to teach myself some basic ASP to do so). Meta data.. nightmare to change unfortunately, at least not without rewriting part of the CMS. I'm wondering, are there any other on-site factors that I'm missing? I'm not a fan of site-wide links, so I don't want to put an exact match anchor text link from the sidebar/footer to the page, not unless someone can motivate why I should. Keen to hear everyone's opinions 🙂

Www. version of my site shows nothing in Open Site Explorer
When I first setup my site the domain was learnbonds.com. I moved hosts a couple of months ago and as part of the process I asked them to make the site show as www.learnbonds.com which they did. Now however when I goto www.learnbonds.com in open site explorer it says there is no data. When I enter learnbonds.com into open site explorer it gives me data but says that the site has been redirected to the www. version which shows no data. Also in google webmaster when I try to set the preferred domain as the www. version it gives me the following message: Part of the process of setting a preferred domain is to verify that you own http://www.learnbonds.com/. Please verify http://www.learnbonds.com/. I am concerned that this is hurting my SEO and would appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks Dave

Site maintenance and crawling
Hey all, Rarely, but sometimes we require to take down our site for server maintenance, upgrades or various other system/network reasons. More often than not these downtimes are avoidable and we can redirect or eliminate the client side downtime. We have a 'down for maintenance - be back soon' page that is client facing. ANd outages are often no more than an hour tops. My question is, if the site is crawled by Bing/Google at the time of site being down, what is the best way of ensuring the indexed links are not refreshed with this maintenance content? (ie: this is what the pages look like now, so this is what the SE will index). I was thinking that add a no crawl to the robots.txt for the period of downtime and remove it once back up, but will this potentially affect results as well?

Time on site
From what I understand, if you search for a keyword say "blue widgets" and you click on a result, and then spend 10 seconds there, and go back to google and click on a different result google will track that first result as being not very relevant. What I don't understand is what happens when (and this happens all the time, i did it today) you click on a result go to that page, find it (not?) relevant and then get distracted, phone call, or someone calls you into another room in the office. You end up accidentally leaving the tab open all day long, and never go back to the google search. So your time on site to google is what? infinity? there must be an upper cap here? at some point they must say, ok, the user is gone, time on site = our maximum = 5 minutes?!? Get me? any insight?

How to do a no follow on site search
We have a site search that is causing a huge amount of errors as the SEOmoz crawler is showing these as duplicate content. Our first thought was to do a no-follow on the site-search directory, but we realized that the site search is /site-search.aspx and URl strings appear at the end for hundreds of pages. How dow we/how can we no-follow an undetermined amount of URL strings?
