11 Steps to Get #1 on Google in 2013 &

Beyond with Links Management

1. Find out the cost of Top 10 for your keywords

Using their Free SEO Cost Calculator Tool you can compare your current backlink profile to your competitors’ backlink profiles for your selected keywords and find out how many links you need in order to outrank them, and how much it will cost you to get in the Top 10 for each of your keywords. This step is very important since it will allow you to choose the right niche and right keywords that you can afford. For example, at first you may want to target keyword ‘link building’, but, after doing some research, you may find out it’s too competitive and you’ll want to switch to some other, less competitive keyword, say ‘link building service USA’. Doing this research can save you thousands of dollars because the difference in price for different keywords can be as huge as $10,000 per month for one keyword and $100 per month for another long-tail keyword. So, find out how much it will cost you and how many links you’ll need to outrank your competition for your keywords using our Free SEO Cost Calculator Tool.

2. Build links gradually and steadily

To make it simple, we recommend you to build not more than 5 links a day. This link building frequency will make your link building campaign look natural. It’s also recommended to start your link building campaign with low PR backlinks (PR1-PR3), and then, in 1-2 months to start acquiring backlinks with higher PageRanks (PR5-PR7).

3. Get backlinks with different, unique anchor texts & different keywords

To simplify a difficult Natural Anchor Text Distribution Formula, we can say that for your backlink profile to look natural to Google, you need follow just 4 simple rules:

1) Always acquire links for different, unique anchor texts.

For example, if your keyword is ‘link building service’ and you provide it mostly for US business owners, then your anchor texts may look like this: link building service for USA USA link building service link building in USA building links in USA USA link building service of building links in USA USA service of link building link builing for USA customers buy links from this USA link building service great link building service affordable link building service high quality link building service, etc.

2) 25% of your anchors should include the URL of your website or even just consist from your URL only.

Examples:

www.LinksManagement.com provides high quality link building www.LinksManagement.com http://www.LinksManagement.com get quality links using http://www.LinksManagement.com

3) 25% of your anchors should include your brand name or domain name of your website.

Examples: LinksManagement provides high quality link building LinksManagement specialize in link building link building service at LinksManagement.com

quality link building – LinksManagement.com

4) And for your promotion to look natural, you should also always use multiple different keywords in each link building campaign. You can use synomys or close terms.

Examples: link popularity service building links buying links buy backlinks link building for SEO improve ranking with link building get high quality backlinks best link building, etc.

4. Surround your links with content

If possible, surround your links with some keyword-rich content. Links surrounded with some content look more natural to Google. If this content includes your targeted keywords, then it will add additional link juice to your backlink.

5. Get backlinks from pages with various Google PageRank

Only high PR or low PR links in your backlink profile may seem suspicious to Google. That’s why your backlinks have to come from web pages with different Google PR. Moreover, most of your links should come from PR0 and PR1 pages to look natural for Google. Only around 10% of your links should come from high PR pages with PR4 and higher. If your current backlink profile doesn’t correspond to this recommendation, don’t remove existing links – it’s better to just build new ones with those PageRanks you don’t have enough of for your link profile to start looking natural to Google.

6. 20% of links should point to the inner pages of your website

80% of links should point to the homepage, and 20% – to inner pages of your website. This rule is especially important for large sites with many webpages. From our research we see that sites that have backlinks pointing to all pages of their website, including inner pages, have much better rankings on Google than those that have all backlinks pointing only to their homepages. Our research has shown that on average around 20% of your backlinks should point to your inner pages in order for your backlink profile to look natural to Google. Download these sample reports with natural and unnatural backlink profiles and you’ll see that, for example, seventeen.com has around 17% of backlinks, pointing to their sub pages, morilee.com – 13%, promgirl.com – 18%. All these sites have great positions on Google. During our research we’ve noticed that sites with a huge percentage of backlinks pointing to their homepages and very little percentage of backlinks pointing to their subpages had much worse rankings then their competitors with even lower number of backlinks but more natural looking backlink profiles (i.e. with higher percentage of backlinks, pointing to their subpages).

7. 65% of links should come from your country

After the recent Google Penguin 2.0 Update, it became even more important for backlinks to come from websites hosted in the same country where you want to rank well. For example, if you want to be #1 on Google.com in USA, at least 65% your links should come from websites hosted in USA. Learn about all 9 links quality criteria.

8. Get backlinks from pages with low number of outbound links

Get backlinks from web pages with as low number of outbound links as possible. This is important because pages with low number of outbound links pass higher Google PR Weight.

9. Fill your website with unique content

1. Fill your website with unique content and update it as often as possible.


2. Get rid of all the duplicated content or close it from indexing, using a robots.txt file. It is not just advice. It’s a sharp necessity! After the Panda 3.6 update having been launched by Google there is no way for the sites with duplicated content to be in Google Top 10. So, pay attention to the quality of your site content because the importance of this factor grows up from day to day. Use either this free content duplicate checker tool or copyscape to find and get rid of all the duplicate content.


3. Create a sitemap (using sitemap generators) and upload it to Google.


4. Optimize your website for your targeted keywords.


5. Learn more about how to perfectly optimize your site content.

10. Remember the 5 reasons why SEO takes time and why you need to be patient

There are several reasons why SEO and achieving #1 on Google takes time and why you need to be patient:

1. Most link juice (PR Weight) is passed from your backlinks to your website within 6 months and not all at once. Learn more about Google PR Weight Flow.


2. The more competitive your keywords are, the more time it is necessary for you to get high rankings on Google.


3. Google has developed its algorithms so that it is now using psychological pressure – when you get new backlinks, at first your rankings drop down, and only with some time they come back and get higher than they were before. Our clients, as well as experts at SEOmoz and other SEO resources and forums, noticed this too. Google actuallysays about this in their own patent 8,244,722. So when your rankings start to dance (drop down, improve, again drop down and again improve, etc.), it means that everything is going fine. Just stick to your natural link building plan and, with some time, your situation will become more stable for old keywords (for which you’ve got many old backlinks). Learn more about 4 reasons why your site rankings may drop.


4. You cannot (at least should NOT) buy all backlinks that you need in order to outrank your competition within just 1 day or even 1 month. In order to look natural, your link building campaign should be gradual and you should buy new links gradually, on a weekly basis. So it also takes some time.


5. Remember that your competition may be doing some activities as well. So, when you acquire the necessary number of backlinks that you need in order to outrank them, make sure to check out the new number of backlinks they now have again. You can do this using our Free SEO Cost Calculator.

11. Now track the results and remember 3 things

1. You should expect to see rankings improvement from your link building campaign and not traffic increase, because you won’t see any traffic increase even if you get from position #984 to #9 on Google since only the first 3 spots get significant traffic. Check out Google Traffic Distribution stats.


2. You should automatically track your site ranking changes throughout the first 100-200 search results using some tool, but not manually throughout the first 10-50 search results because of 3 important reasons, described here.


3. You should keep your link building plan until you achieve the #1 position on Google, even if sometimes your website’s rankings drop because this is how Google works — your rankings will regularly jump up and down (sometimes quite significantly) during your way to the Top until you gain high Google Trust Rank (it can only be achieved with time, significant amount of backlinks and natural looking backlink profile).
