Let me tell you my story. On November 20, 2008 I started a website called http://www.article-submission-express.com. This site is actually for a service I offer for article submissions. Basically what we do is solicit clients who want to increase their search engine rank by getting one way text links to their website. Today as I write this it is December 7, 2008. I am now ranked 101 on Google for the term Article Submissions.
I have studied several of the guru search engine optimizers to figure out how to get a site to the top of the search engines. I have a few websites, so I divided up the techniques I am using to find out what the best way to promote a site, and move it through the rankings is. For this particular site I have only used two methods. I bough a few relatively low cost Google advertisements, and I submitted articles just like this. The reason I am writing to you today is because I can say with certainty that article submission may be one of the fastest was to move to the top of the search engine results.
Just to see what was going on with my search engine rankings today and I found when I searched for article submissions that there were 15,200,000 search results. I thought to myself, wow, how can I ever rank in these results. I started clicking through them anyway just to see if there was a site, similar to mine, that would be in the results. When I got to page 11, I found there was a purple link, like I had been on the site before. Upon closer look I found that it was my website! After just two weeks and three days, I got to position 101. I also have to mention that I was indexed by Google in 3 days after creating the site. I would say article submission generates incredible results, especially when done right.
I have dedicated myself to the study of search engine optimization over the past several months. I want to rank high for a competitive word, because if I can learn how to do it, I will have many different avenues of income available to me. I have studied people like Aaron Wall and Brad Fallon, I also use Brad Callen's software a lot. I started a few sites, and used different methods for each site to see which of these methods are most successful. Of all the sites I have started, this site with the article submissions and Google Ads has brought me not only the most efficient results, but the most results.
I have used tools like TrafficBoosterPro, which is supposed to generate great content and feed the search engines so that your rankings increase. Well it worked, but then it killed me. I ranked 60 for one of the most competitive key words on the internet on Google. A few days later, I was not in the rankings at all. That site has never recovered, even after a complete reconstruction and white hat methods only. I also have tried reciprocal links. These may or may not work, according to most experts, google doesn't count them, though some still say they do. I do have to say though, the ones that say they do, I don't see reciprocals in large quantities on their sites. I have two similar sites, that are optimized for key words, but are not duplicate sites. Guess what, one has over 400 reciprocal links and the other has none. The one that has none, outranks the one that has no key words. The one that has no links, even outranks a search for the domain name of the one that has the links.
There have only been two methods used to promote http://www.article-submission-express.com. When it was first launched I bought a few Google ads that convert sales so I could promote it until my organic listings are better. If you don't know what an organic listing is, it is basically a listing on Google you don't pay for and brings a lot of traffic. I then, used my program sold at http://www.article-submission-express.com to submit unique articles to several directories. Articles just like the one you are reading here. I put links back to my site in the resource box as you can see at the bottom of the page.
In all the studies I did with SEO, this is the most success I have ever had, and boy am I excited. I have used press releases as of yet, because they are too large of an investment for me at this point. I also with this particular website did not use link building programs or link exchange services. I haven't traded any links, and I don't even provide code to link to my website. I also have not ventured into adding links on a social networking site which would probably increase my rankings further. The website is a controlled experiment. I have to eliminate all variables and use certain techniques to test them against others. I am going to continue to do what I am doing and monitor Google. The best part of the whole bit is I am not at 101 in the rankings so it makes it easy to see which direction I go. Hopefully the next article you read will give you more information on where I am after I submit this article.
I wish you all the best of look in your optimization efforts. If you are at all interested in having articles submitted, you can do it my way, or you can do it manually. My website as I said earlier does offer this service and you can get a link to it in the article below. Either way I want you to take away from this article that article submission works for SEO. Again, this article is not promoting my site, but promoting that the method works. - 16928
