A lot of newbie internet marketers get concerned when they first begin optimizing and building backlinks to their websites that it is taking a lot longer to see their rankings increase than they would like it to. They wake up to the reality that search engine domination isn’t a walk in the park. It takes a lot of consistent effort to get to and stay in the #1 spot on the first page of Google. And really without being number one, you aren’t likely to make lots of money. Certainly you could make some money, but real earnings can only come in the top spot, since it gets the largest percentage of search engine traffic.
If you really want to achieve search engine domination, you need to set some realistic goals. With a brand new website, in most cases, you’ll wait at least 3 months before you can start ranking on the first page for your keywords. But, of course, this is not a passive waiting. It is an aggressive backlink building campaign. You should be building a variety of different backlink types. Angela’s and Paul’s backlink packets are great resources to help you build backlinks on high PR dofollow websites. You can also pay to have these links placed for you. Forum profile backlinks work nicely as well. At the very least, these backlinks should be pinged. Even better would be to socially bookmark each one of them with an automated social bookmarking tool. Another excellent source of backlinks is blog commenting. Don’t waste your time with low PR pages in your blog commenting efforts. And it’s a myth that you have to leave your backlinks on relevant websites, or that one with many links on it divides the link juice power. Try placing links on blogs with pagerank 3 or above.
It can be difficult to get your content syndicated, but Web 2.0 is a great tool to use. To leverage your efforts, use the Best Spinner to spin your content and post on as many Web 2.0 dofollow sites as you can. Then get to work backlinking these sites. If you want to experience search engine domination, you’ll need backlinks several levels deep. This gives Google a better chance to index your backlinks, as well as showing it that “all roads lead back” to your website, establishing yourself as the authority in your niche.
Another way that you can participate in search engine domination while you wait for a new site to rise to the top is to build a Hubpages, an Ezine article, a Snipsly, etc. and backlink them like crazy. Often it will take much less effort to get one of these sites to page one because the domain already has trust and reputation with Google. As much real estate as you can take up on the first page, the better. People being repetitively exposed to your sites can only help your cause.
