Boosting Search Engine Rankings

What’s the key to getting good rankings? There’s a lot of debate about this and if you talk to ten SEO professionals, you’re likely to get ten different answers. Word out of the SEO camp this week is that it’s possible to boost your engine rankings using two little known methods:

Searching By Brand Name:

The common convention is to have people search for a keyword or key phrase and if enough of them land on your page then this can increase your rankings. It makes sense from the search engine’s point of view. If a lot of people are going to your site then there must be something important there. The problem with that is competition. One strategy suggested to overcome this is naming a brand or domain at the end of an article etc. without linking to it. People would have to search directly in order to find it, thereby targeting the brand/domain.

Using Guest Blogging:

Unfortunately some in the SEO world tend to abuse this, but it is still a viable method for increasing traffic. Simply find some blogs within your niche that allow guest blogging, write an excellent post that contains a link to your site, and submit it to them. If your work is relevant and of a high quality, you get another incoming link and the blog gets great content. Everybody wins.

Does this work? Well many people seem to think that it does and, on the surface, it does seem plausible.

    Someone I follow very much believes in guest blogging and it makes sense to me. You get access to their user base and get a backlink. The problem is the time that it takes.

    That’s a really interesting idea with mentioning a brand or domain name without linking to it. It definitely seems a viable way to add additional content that’s searchable.

    I’ve heard of guest blogging being a great method for getting your content out and getting a resource box link back to your website. I think this is great for the direct links of someone reading your content and clicking through and for the SEO benefits.
