Information just about GoogleGoogle Takes Care of Idiots Too

There's an old language that goes, "God takes care of babies and idiots."
Truly this statement applies to me, because once
it comes to my search engine improvement
skills, I'm on the changeling side of scale. But that's okay because idiots are loved, and can easily survive in the search engine game too.
Let me explain.
Although NONE of my 6 web sites rating in Google's top 10 (or top 20 and 30 for that matter), and I only advertise 2 of my sites mistreatment AdWords, Google still helps me do a lot of money.
That's probably because I went into this search engine improvement
'thingy' with a grain of salt. I don't support any private secret arsenals of code tools that reverse engineer web sites to numbers out why their ranking high. I haven't see any of the latest must-have volumes on search engine optimization. (Although they're on my to-do list once
- and IF - business ever slows down.)
And still my MVP Google makes its better to do me happy. And I do my better to give its searchers relevant content. But not in the way that most SEO savvy webmasters would-be recognize
--------------------------------
"It's actually really easy to get traffic from Google if you think outside the box."
--------------------------------
My strategy for deed traffic from Google is quite simple.
You see I don't go out of my way looking for link partners. My sites are au fond 1-2 page sales letters, and common man wants to link to me, unless they're deed paid.
Nor do I put a tremendous numbers of effort into on-page optimization. I sprinkle my targeted keyphrase here and there, and I'm done with it. I write for my paying customers.
What I do is follow this process:
1) I find different established sites that already have nice PageRank and adequate incoming links.
2) I do sure these sites add new content every day. Sites with oft additional content get visited by the Googlebot often... sometimes every day.
3) I then place an advert on these sites, promoting my actual web site. Once
the Googlebot pays these sites a visit, the ad itself (NOT my web page) is hierarchal in Google for the keyphrase I've used. On many a occasions my ad's have reached the #1 position in Google for my targeted keyphrase, in as little as 48 hours.
--------------------------------
"Where can you pronto find such sites?"
--------------------------------
Believe it or not, a handful (literally a handful) of classified ad sites fit the description to a tee.
Backpage.com (http://www.backpage.com/) is one of them.
Backpage.com is a free classified ad service run by New Times, a publisher of alternative news weeklies. They offer classified ad listings for 14 US cities. However even as if you're not in one of their specific cities, you may still place an ad.
Certain advertisements placed through Backpage.com have reached top 10 positions in Google. The ad's that get favorably indexed in top 10 positions commonly have less competitive keywords in the title. My personal abstract is that these are keywords that obtain fewer than 3,000 searches a month, according to the Overture Search Term Suggestion Tool.
An example is 'mobile pc repair.'
This is a low-traffic, but extremely targeted keyphrase.
If you do a search on Google for 'mobile pc repair' you'll notice an ad placed on Backpage.com is featured in the #5 position. Okay, so it's not the better advert in the world, but that's irrelevant.
The point is--
* The ad got indexed in a top 10 position in Google.
* Backpage.com allows advertisers to include web site links in the advertisement. So even as tho'
this particular publicist
didn't include his/her URL, they really well could have. This would've generated traffic to their site.
--------------------------------
"My point?
This is cure for deed targeted traffic patch waiting for your actual web site to get ranked."
--------------------------------
Early Gregorian calendar month
2005 webmaster forums about the earth were droning with groans, gripes and periodic fits of happiness.
Why?
Because Google was doing a major update (dubbed Allegra).
Sites that had hierarchal in the top 10 for years were being remorselessly tossed around. Different sites that hadn't gotten any decent rating in the past were beginning to see the light. And still others didn't notice any changes.
As for me... well my actual sites still didn't rise more in the ranks. I'm still hovering somewhere about #50+.
But that hasn't phased me one bit.
I look at the big image and understand that deed traffic from Google is more much than having my site reach the top 10.
If I have 50 advertisements (similar to the one's from Backpage.com) that are in top 10 positions, and they're all delivering traffic from targeted keyphrases, I haven't lost anything. All those keyphrases delivering trickles of traffic equal a flood of clicks and orders at the end of the day.
Not a bad deal for being who's SEO illiterate. I guess the old language is true... God actually makes take care of babies and idiots.
