Link Creation or Baiting for Gag Gifts & Tumbleweeds
I’ve been really busy lately creating links for this and other blogs and sites with the help of directories. Hopefully they don’t show up all at once because I have heard that can look bad to the search engines to see your site go from hardly any links at all to a huge amount in a short amount of time. I only submitted my site to 20 directories and I don’t expect everyone will add me immediately so I think I will be o.k.
One of the sites that I’m working on is starting to see some improvement in the rankings. It is also starting to rank for some generic terms like tumbleweed and tumbleweeds on Google. Hopefully I can crack into that market because the competition is kind of lazy. They haven’t changed their site since 2004 so other than age rank on their side they should be easy to knock off. I’m going to try to beat them with more new content and better links. Link baiting will take care of itself because of the strange products that they are selling so I think I just have to go get them seen to the world and people will start talking about selling tumbleweeds and purchasing tumbleweeds in forums and blogs everywhere. We will see but it might work. It is funny anyway.
Still working on getting the market for Gag Gifts. MSN has given me a ranking for it at about 50 but no real traffic from that yet but it seems like MSN ranks me first then Yahoo, and then finally Google will pick it up so it is a good sign to get a ranking from MSN first and fast. Probably just need more content for my pages to help them see the value of my site and the information that I have. It seems like keyword density is out from what I hear from everyone but you have to have the keyword on the page so what makes a page appealing I’m not totally sure but I’m just writing content centered around my subject trying to use keywords that are related and terms that are similar to test if that will work for me.
If you have any ideas let me know with a comment.
