Thread: Need help ranking to page 1.

This is a plea for help! Not one of desperation though, so ignore that "!".

Here is my dilemma - My website http://www.makemoneyeasyfromhome.net is currently near the top of page 2 for the search term Make Money Easy . This is a very high competition keyword and I've managed to get to page 2 with no real intent (I've done no SEO to help boost my rankings).

My site, as it is, is an auto-blog that has served as a testing space over the year. I'm looking to take a more hands on approach and turn it into a $$ machine. However to do that I first need to get to page one for this lovely keyword.

I have little experience with backlinking and SEO in general and I'm a bit lost as to where I should start. I'm not apposed to buying my way to page 1 if it's at a reasonable cost. I don't have a whole lot of free time at the moment so getting someone else to do this for me would be ideal.

Can anyone recommend the quickest way for me to achieve my goal here? Any SEO packages that'll do the trick? If you have any suggestions, or believe you yourself can make this happen, please let me know!

Cheers,

Yasha.

Hello Yasha,

Very nice rankings by the way.

There are a few things that i want to mention.

1.    Your title element includes your keyword, great, but you don’t have a great call to action – “online income resources and guides” this is boring. You want to include something that will increase your click through rate from google.

2.    When someone goes to your page, you will have a high bounce rate. I’m not sure what you want to accomplish here, but it seems like you want people to subscribe to your newsletter right? You need to give them something better than what you already have. Imagine that this was not your site, and you came to this site for the first time, would you subscribe? I certainly wouldn’t. Do something so people will want to subscribe.

3.     You don’t have any visible pagerank, but don’t worry, I would assume on the next update that you will have a pagerank 3, and by the way pagerank has not been updated for 8 months.
The good thing is that pagerank is flowing to your 12 archive pages, each of these have a pagerank of at least pr1, all of your internal pages have an anchor text link of “make money online” at the top left of the screen, so your correct keyword anchor text links are what’s ranking your homepage.

By gaining pagerank from external sources, you will increase your pagerank to all of your internal pages, making your anchor text links better value, and ultimately that is what ranks your site.

The thing is Google puts less weight on footer links.

A suggestion would be to create another similar site, and do whatever you did to this one, but include lots of anchor text links pointing to this blog.

Work on increasing your page rank, and that will make your internal anchor text links better quality, which will then result in increased rankings.

You are in 2nd page that doesn't means that you can climb up right to the top easily, if anyone tells you then simply he doesn't knows the SEO stuff.
From my experience the real competition starts from the first page only and it takes hell out of efforts to overtake them, though you have got a advantage by having a keyword rich domain which will give you infact had given you the very boost due to which you are at 2nd page.

what I would suggest you to go for link building, may be purchase some angela packets, dofollow blogs, write articles, press releases and you can make it to the the top.

Yep, listen to this expert. She clearly knows what shes doing with her spammy techniques.

I bet you have great rankings already, right?

Thanks for the input and suggestions ladies and gents. Something I failed to mention on my initial post is that I have hopped onto page one numerous times, though I've been consistently on page two for quite a some time now.

As for the call to action and internal optimization, I know plenty of work still needs to be done; though as I mentioned, this has been more of a pet project to date than anything else - really just a test center more than an attempt at proper monetization/list building.
