Please help.
Thanks. The article was indeed very helpful and easy to understand.
However, now that I understand what RSS is, I want to know how can I utilize it to for backlinking and spread my articles around? I've heard terms like "submitting to RSS Feeds" in SEO. Can you help me understand that please?
It is highly preached that RSS is a great way to get backlinks.
Can somebody explain me how go to about RSS, or direct me to a good source on Internet where I can learn all about RSS feeds and how to implement them? I know there are many reasonable RSS feeds services available out there, but I don't want to go for them. If at all I'd like to first learn myself and then decide on what to do.
Please help.
Thanks Lindz and Tyler. I have got my answer
Lets say I publish a PR with two anchor links (keywords) to a particular website. Will these backlinks get more weightage in the eyes of Google if manage to get this page 100s and 1000s of FB Likes, tweets, +1s etc? Does this strategy really work?
Thanks Andrew. Your help is always appreciated.
Thanks Caser.
But there's a limit to how many Guest Blogs posts one can make, or how many useful tips one can send in exchange for a link. Not to mention these methods are time consuming, especially if I am working on 10-15 client SEO projects. I do understand that 2-3 way link requests is out now, but I thought blog/forum comment posting works. Thats what everybody out there preaches.
What do you suggest here?
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,

Is the traditional way of link building wherein we send requests for two way or three way links still important? I feel posting articles, blog commenting, blog posting, forum commenting etc are better means to build links... but since I am still new to this industry I may be wrong. Please suggest.
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.
Thanks for help.
The reason why I asked is that Google Adwords is behaving very awkwardly. A 'hight' competition keywords with a figure of 0.85 appears to be 'Medium' 0.26 when exported to CSV. I don't know which one to trust. I am not sure why the figure changes when exported to CSV. Quite strange.
Have you experienced anything like that? Can you offer a solution to that?
Also, you have already answered my next question. Why doing searches I should enable 'Exact match' and 'phrase match'. Yeah?
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?
I got to know that I can access google USA by going to www.google.com/ncr.
Is there a similar way to access Google.com.au too from India?
Thanks for the awesome suggestions Andrew.
The reason why I am asking is that my subscription with them ends on 10th. So either I spend a couple of hundred dollars to extend that subscription for another month (which I don't want to do) or I post my 3 PRs in the next two days to finish my quota for this month.
Now that you tell me its safe, I'll go ahead and post them. All these three are written by myself, are fresh, genuine and meaningful. So, backed by your suggestion and experience, I shouldn't worry at all and shoot them tomorrow/day after.
thanks so much,

Is it a safe bet to publish 3 PAID press releases (on PRleap.com) on the same website on the same day, each having about 10 links to different pages of the same website?
I mean... will search engines spot something fishy is going out there?
Doug Roberts: Thanks for the help. I will definitely try and explore how the search results appear in search engines. I think optimizing the description further may help. Having a look at other results will help too I am sure.
Alan Mosley: Thanks for your comments. I cannot share the URL of the website as my client may not like it, but I will definitely absorb your comments and work on them.

I am working on a couple of SEO projects and have noticed over the past couple of months that the keywords rankings have improved immensely with most of them amongst top 10 on google, but still the traffic on the website doesn't improve much.
Can somebody explain me the possible reasons behind this, and what can I do to attract more traffic?
Thanks.
Can you enlist some good free/paid.com.au PR submission websites, and also some great .com.au blogs where I can submit some good articles/blogs?
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.
- 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,

Please let me know about Directory submissions too. Should we target Australian directory sites for submissions.
Note: using .co.uk sites for .com.au sites was never the idea. I just want to know if I should focus on .com.au sites for blogs/PRs/Directory submissions or .com blogs/PR sites/Directories are just fine.
Thanks James.
Can you enlist some good free/paid.com.au PR submission websites, and also some great .com.au blogs where I can submit some good articles/blogs?
While SEOing .com.au, websites I am submitting PRs in sites like prweb.com, pr.com, prlog.com etc. Is that the right way or should I submit these PRs in Australian PR sites only (.com.au)?
Yeah htaccess is the right way to go about 301 redirects.
HI Yan.
So basically you want to move your blog from a subdomain to a folder. Follow the following steps:
Install wordpress in your root. Most cpanels these days offer one-click solutions to install wordpress.
Move the current theme folder from the present location to the new location .. i.e. wp-content/themes/
Connect the new theme to the database which is being used right now. There will be no need to change or transfer the database.
With the above steps the /blog will go live.
MOST IMPORTANT PROCESS
If you are not very technical, I suggest hire a professional coder to help you out with this. I can help if you want.
Let me know if you want any further help.
