Secret To Getting Google’s Mojo Back
It’s rather simple, the steps I took.
- I kept posting, just like before- a paragraph about my other interest, photography. A photograph and a few more words…
- I kept posting, just like before- a paragraph about my other interest, technology. A screenshot and a few more words…
- I kept posting, just like before- an article, a few paragraphs about SEO, a picture and a few more words…
- I added no back-links to any of those posts.
- I used my “back-up” blogs to create back-links to the above posts.
- I used Twitter and Digg to create links to the above posts.
Did any of that make any difference at all in what Google did? I honestly do not know for an absolute surety.
I honestly think letting up on the links between my blogs (on the same host) broke a pattern that Google was watching and complaining about. Google seemed to be complaining that I was repeating myself too much, you know, saying the exact same thing in back-links’ anchor text, instead of mixing them up like Steve Wiideman advises in his Expert SEO tips.
Aww, C’mon Dave, what are those “back-up” blogs you mentioned?
I’ll never tell.
OK, yes I will, several blogs on Blogspot, Trulia (free blog on high PR site!) and ActiveRain (real estate related) There are others too, those are just my preferred ones.
