Guys and Gals,
I have to go on a bit of a rant here. I know SEO is not easy. I know it's hard work. I know you need to get an SEO to do a great job for you so that you can succeed in todays online environment.
I have been learning about SEO for about 4 years now and have gotten semi-knowledgeable on the subject.
It seems like when I get links, they aren't good enough for google. I may do a guest post, etc. I have really good content that ranks well for long tail keywords that people do search for, BUT I can't seem to rank for the keywords that I want which is not that hard to do.
I feel my biggest problem is content and link bait. I am in real estate. Yes I can write how to articles and unique pages on real estate topics but even when I do, it doesn't pull in links. HOW DO I GET IT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE THAT WILL LINK TO ME???
If I am trying to rank for "oxford real estate" do I need to simply keep writing articles that are pretty similar in topic to this phrase?
What am I missing?
