I finally got my web site to the top of MSN for a very competitive keyword - "free paid surveys".
I knew that if you want your website to rank high with the major search engines you must get other web sites link to yours.
I was also aware that there are several free ways to get links to your web site:
1. You can write and distribute articles.
2. You can write testimonials.
3. You can do reciprocal linking.
I had been using all of the above linking strategies, but my site just couldn't make it to the top page of the search engines.
Things improved dramatically after I started posting informative blog comments related to the subject of my web sites.
Let me explain how to do that...
Simply, go to Google, or any other search engine, and type - "yourkeyword blog". Visit any of the blog sites found by Google and look for "Comments" or "Feedback" links.
Click on the comment links and you will see other people posting their comments to the blogs.
Here's how you too can benefit from it...
You can include your website's link in the blog comments! Don't forget to include your targeted keyword in the title of the comment.
Visit as many blogs related to your web site as possible and keep posting comments. Try to post informative comments, otherwise the blog owner may delete them.
Note that search engines love the content from blogs. If you keep posting comments to blogs, you will soon notice how quickly your website's search engine ranking increases.
One of the best ways to check how many blogs with your site's links have already been indexed by search engines is by going to MSN and typing - "link:yourdomain.com"
So, improve search engine rankings of your web site today by posting informative comments to blogs related to the subject of your site.
