Thanks Andrew. Your help is always appreciated.

I always use keywords in anchor text.

So what you suggest is that I should continue posting quality comments on quality blogs/websites and not worry about the rest. Google will do its job on its own. Yeah?

Hi Andrew.

I just posted two new questions titled "What after I place a blog comment" and "Traditional link requests still the right way?".

Please reply when you have time.

Thanks,

I have started commenting on high PR DoFollow blogs more strongly off late. I don't do it just for the heck of it. I comment on relevant posts, go through them nicely and make sensible comments. This way I make sure my comments are not removed by the admin,

What I want to know is... What after I make the comment and put my website's URL there? Does that mean I have got a backlink already? Or do I need to do something else too to make sure Google recognizes that as a backlink?

I have the same question regarding forum postings too.

Thanks Andrew.

I will do as suggested and get back to you if I need further help.

Hi Andrew.

I have another question for you. Please offer help:

I have been using Google Adwords tool for keyword research until today when I signed up for 7 day trial of Wordtracker. To my astonishment the results were different with a huge margin for most of my keywords.

Which of these should I trust more?

Do you suggest any other tool which is better than these both and is free or affordable?

Thanks for the awesome response Andrew. I love your replies!

Somebody suggested me to ping my website's backlinks using services like www.Pingler.com.

Firstly, I don't know what 'pinging' is and why is it important.

Secondly, Should I go for it?

Lastly, what kind of links should I ping regularly? I researched on google and got a feeling that only blogs should be pinged because they are updated regularly. Is that so?

Rick,

hats off to what you are doing! I can understand you closely due to two reasons: My wife had a mis-carriage (we have a 17 month healthy baby now), so I can feel ya. Secondly, I am a victim of a problem too (which I would not like to mention/discuss here. after all its an SEO forum :)) ), and I myself go about helping other people come out of it whenever I get a chance. Adding a blog for the same is an idea I just conceptualized. Thanks to you.

Back to SEO, if your ultimate aim is not to earn money out of your blog, then I suggest continue to do what you are doing... i.e.. right from your heart. Small changes in the technique will help you boost traffic, which seems to be your ultimate goal... i.e helping out more and more people.

• Use google adwords tool and find similar keywords that people are searching for this syndrome. Deliberately try to use them in your posts/articles as much as you can without losing the originality and 'feel' of the article.

- Categorizing your posts and videos is not a bad option. It will be better if the category names are some of the keywords that you have searched for above using the google tool.

• Give relevant description for each video, possibly using the keywords you are targeting.

• Don't market keywords with wrong spellings. That will not do good, especially since search engines correct spellings these days.

• Add a forum to the site. let people join in and jump into discussions.  This will result in more traffic, and auto generation of content. Most of the times this content will be keyword rich.

• A suggestion from design point of view (I am a designer myself) : Black is hard. Make the website more whiter, more neater with loads of breathing space. People will love reading it all the more.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
