Outdated SEO tactics

[JackMiller7]

So one final question, if I am competing for terms with medium competition, the top result pages have like 20k backlinks can I still hit front page with content only to get natural links?

Yes.

I have ranked based on my content and without chasing backlinks.

The trick is to write the way your target audience is going to talk or ask a question that you are answering.

So Htmlbasictutor you think you could share a link to one of the sites you linked with just content so I can study the content and see how great content can rank first page?

Wait you mean that writing in common conversational tone not marketing/ad jargon ranks better?

Problem with that is I my site sells products so I need a good sales funnel that converts well. Changing my copy for better rankings sacrifices conversion rate. I think I would rather try to get rank 1 other ways without changing the funnel copy. Especially since I am only hoping that if I can get ranked page 1 for 4-5. Keywords as a baseline income so I can move into a proper advertising funnel with lead capture and generation.

What about testimonials or reviews? Certainly they are written in conversational language and you could "SEO" them for specific products - maybe the best sellers?

Hmm yeah, try to create elements in the page that don't effect the sales funnels flow or conversion but give seo benefit in it's content. Hmm I could actually do a article loader at the bottom of the main sales page, after the lead magnet and closing call to action, where articles can be loaded by titles into. Single section containing many articles that load 1 visible by selecting from titles. This could work probably.

I meant write your keyword phrases the way your target audience will search for them.

This is even more important with voice search.

Yeah some people uses it for listing blog information in blog directories and search engines.

Pinging still works but all pinging does is notifies the search engines a little bit quicker.

Yes coz I noticed that some people using voice search might end up with different target because they did not pronounce the keyword phrases properly

[ezhel]

I agree on this one,some directories with relevant niche maybe old but can be consider a good source of traffic and classified ads too...

Keywords are necessary to use in one's page content - not in metadata.

Paid links can bring traffic. What do you think PPC is?

[soradis]

Following Tactics are closed as they haven't any value in eye's of search engine as Rankbrain from Google AI has taken place. Best of luck.

Exact-match anchor text
Low-quality content
PBN - Private Blogging Network
Non-relevant backlinks
Expired Domain DA PA
Fake Paid Links
Blog Commenting
Web 2.0 Blog's

[Priyanka_Kumari]

There are following tactics which are outdated
1.Pinging
2.Link and article directories
3.Exact-match domains
4.Reciprocal Linking
5.Indiscriminate guest blogging
6.Paid links
7.Directory submission

Ping is just a notification that asks search engines to visit your blog for indexing the updated content. It has nothing to do with ranking and traffic.

[slaconsultants]

Web Directory Submission and Inner pages Submission Like Niche Directory
Many More Classified Ads listing site have Content Duplicate
Link Exchange Techniques
Paid Links Like With PR, Banner Links, Footer Links etc
Purchase of Forums Signature links and Traffic
Keywords Stuffing and Density is high
