“Link Relevancy and ‘Do Keywords In Domain Names Matter?’”

In my opinion, this is the important key to success especially “Relevancy Link” is so important for help boost our ranking in Google.

Yaro
I liked it but really there was nothing new in this. The most disturbing thing about SEO is the amount of mis-information as evidenced by a few of the comments on here.

I am constantly amazed how people that are so called SEO experts that have no idea about some most powerful factors in SEO, I understand that Brad has enjoyed lots of success for his wedding favors business so kudos to him for that – but if he doesnt think that having a keyword rich domain is a HUGE HUGE influencer then he simply has not done enough testing probing and pushing the Google or Yahoo algo’s and doesn’t have the right to call himself an SEO expert.

Succesful online marketer YES, SEO expert ahhh NO

I know and can demonstrate for a FACT that having a keyword rich domain is one of the biggest factors influencing organic SERP’s

In fact if you have a 100% dense keyword URL you are starting miles in front of everyone else in the crowd, why ?

All you need to do is watch this video and you will see why,

Now I am prepared to accept fully that the search term “catholic dating” out of NZ is not exactly competitive turf right – but if you stop and realise that there are at least 3 – 4 pages of contendors,

ie Other sites using the keywords “catholic dating” with various levels of effort put into their on page and off page SEO and my test site is position 7 on page 1 without a single piece of content – NOT EVEN A HOLDING PAGE ! and not one link just the domain name – hell its still there as of the date of this posting you can check it out yourself.

Why did I do this, am I interested in catholic dating – no I just test, test, test.

Like to rethink your position Brad ?

Hi, Yaro. I’m a Portuguese new blogger and I’ve been building my travel blog around your advice and posts. You’ve been a great help. I’m starting slow with my posts because everytime I come back here I go back to my previous posts and change something on them. I prefer to do things like this so that I can absorb all your excellent tips and than really start posting without coming back and changing things like the titles, the backlinks names, etc.
Thank you very much
See you soon
Luís

Now I understand why you place emphasis on outsourcing. It is quite difficult to stay on top of the various components that make a good blog. For a good part of today, I have been reading all I can about SEO. I learnt some good tips and I even tweaked my website a little to improve on what I had previously. But then, after reading your post and reflecting back on your suggestions in Blog Profit Blueprint, I have concluded that this is one of the aspect of my blogging business that I will love to outsource to an expert as soon as possible.
Thanks for sharing the 8 tips. I will put them to use. Cheers

I wouldn’t bother with this technique, it’s very low leverage and won’t bring any significant results.

You should focus on providing value – that’s the best way to build links.

I have been toying with the idea of having a link on my site (complete with the code) as a link for others to put onto their website. Would this help for PR or anything because it doesnt just say click here?

I agree with the last tip about keywords in the domain. It really doesn’t matter, but I think it matters that you do own the top level domain (the part immediately before .com) as having your page hosted on any of the other social network platforms tend to dilute your own rank. Not much, but they know you don’t really control it.

The most important advice I’ve ever heard is have your own domain. You get what you pay for, but domains are cheap these days as are hosting options available.

Thanks! Great article that really drives home many points that I already practice. I just completed a website, that I have great hopes for, and I’m currently turning my focus to Search Engine Marketing. It is indeed a journey to nurture a website along and build its reputation and traffic. Your articles and your success is an inspiration. Keep up the good work.

Damn! This is a good post alright.

Learned a lot from this and I hope that Yaro will dish out more goodies such as these in the future.
