I’m feeling extra generous today. Email me on my contact form about ANY questions you have, and if more pop up in the future, I’ll happily answer them too. Because you might be confused on the outlines of what SEO really is, I hope this helps:

Search engines try to index every page on the web, and by doing so, they get tons of awesome information about each & every page they index. Because search engines have to display search results in a certain order (i.e. someone has to rank 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), they have to develop a ranking system so they can figure out who gets placed in front of who. Obviously, in order to get the most traffic from search engines, you want your website to rank 1st or 2nd. Therefore, in order to rank higher, you have to figure out what the search engines use in order to judge which page ranks higher than which.

With that in mind, go ahead and contact and ask me any further questions. I know it gets a little complex after what I just said above, so again, ask away.

Thanks Ernie!!

I do not know where to start. Good piece. I do not have any experience in link building. I am trying to learn what is what. I have my own website and like to do some SEO on it and it seems I get taken for a ride every time I speak to a SEO guru. So I am keeping my eye on your blog to see if your comments towards link building will work.
Please keep in mind when you write it about the little man like me who knows nothing about link building. I want to learn who to do this for my personal site only and not to make money by promoting some else site.
I am reading more and more about SEO’s sites and it becomes more confusing by the day? I hope you are as genuine as you say you are. I would like to know what to do and where to start. I would also like my campaign to be geographical only and not on a international level if you have advise on this as well, but it seems unlikely nobody wants to help. I am thinking all this talk about SEO is a myth.
So when are you going to place your results with comments on the blog maybe a round about time scale will help to go back too?
I will await your reply!
Regards
Ernie

Good luck with your niche project, keep us updated!

Test all kinds of link building techniques on my personal site, to see effects and Google in particular, even after Panda, still loves exact match link text.

My issue with black hat techniques, is whilst they continue to rank sites well, people will continue to use them.

Have seen first hand effect of Panda update through some accidental duplicate content, site went from page 1 to page 10, and although will lose visits, was still indexed, so in theory links from those sites will still work.

Keep up the good work, contribute to SEOMoz blog, which in turn will send more visits to this site.

Thanks, my link building is pretty much 100% white hat at no cost (outside of an experiment with UAW which I will talk about), and I honestly can’t wait until I finish the post. It’ll be a long, very informative post that I will soon take pride in

And that sounds awesome on LinkAloha!! Tell him to contact jcooper@pointblankseo.com when it’s ready. I’ll use it to target a few other niche related terms I wanted to go after, and I’ll do a full, 100% unbiased review. I can’t wait!

Thanks Ruben

I asked the owner of Linkaloha and he agrees to give you a subscription for a test. Currently they are putting some new features in the system, and as soon as they are ready you could get access. He expects it to be ready in about two weeks. Should I ask him to contact you when it’s done?

Most of what I’ve been doing for my backlinking seems to be working – The site is around a month old and it’s ranking at the #2 spot.

On the subject of LinkAloha, I’d love to review it right here on my blog if it’s ok. If you could ask the owner if I could get a subscription to do this, I’d be more than glad to! I could put it to you use to rank for a bunch of other related terms I haven’t started targetting yet. Thanks!!
