My Gray Hat Technique To Rank In Google

Alright guys,

I've been making a decent living picking up clients over craigslist in various cities and ranking them with this white hat method and decided it was time to share some of what I have learned. I am not going to hand-feed you but I will give you a blueprint.

1st Tier

First: You need to build some solid web 2.0's pointing to your site. If you don't know what they are, Google it. Build your web 2.0's and add 5 pieces of content to every one of them. Continue doing this over time. Start with 10 0f them. Sites like Wix, Jimdo, etc. Because it's a 2.0 don't worry about making it real fancy, just stick to the templates. Focus more on the content.

Second: Wiki's with relevant content. Find wiki sites (not Wikipedia) and submit quality content pointing to your site. Just Google "list of wiki sites" and you will find some you can submit content to.

Third: Build social networks pointing at the site. Post relevant valuable content and boost up your social networks manually. Follow as many people as you can. Here is a list of Social Networks and what to do. Engagement is the key to making these work for you. If someone engages, engage back!

  • Twitter I usually search for people in my niche by going to the search bar and typing in #myniche or # a keyword phrase around my niche. Then I look for an active member that has a lot of followers. I follow the first 100-200 people on their followers list since this is the most recent followers and you can almost guarantee they will be active. Then I inflate my account with 100-200 real-looking purchased followers, retweets, favorites. Rinse and repeat. All along tweeting relevant media.
  • Facebook Strictly FB campaigning and inflating my account with 5k-10k likes in the beginning by purchasing FB likes. Find a solid seller here on SEOclerks. I run a bot that someone set up for me.
  • Pinterest Pinterest is probably the easiest to build backlinks with if you do it right. The one thing to remember is to always produce content/media that promotes interaction. On Pinterest follow 300 people a day. Re-pin, pin stuff from the site, mix it up. Like, comment, and engage.
  • Reddit Humongous traffic driver and backlink builder! BE CAREFUL! No spamming. Start you account, post on other people's content. Take it slow. I usually don's start posting like crazy until I have a campaign and my "Link Karma" is looking good.
  • Tumblr Start you profile. DO NOT FOLLOW ANYONE or do much of anything FOR 24 HRS!!! Just don't OK, trust me. After 24 hrs start following 200 people a day and posting stuff from your site. It is very important that you 'reblog' content that is already being 'reblogged' frequently. That will promote engagement and 'activity'.
  • We Heart It You can abuse the hell out of this network. At least for now, you can follow as many people as you'd like. Again, as with all social networks, produce content/media/images that are highly engaging. For instance I shared a video that went viral on my FB fanpage. Well, slightly viral, it had 45 reshares from my page. Wasn't my video, I just thought it was funny. I then hearted that image. It's been hearted over 2,000 times since then. That created 2,000 backlinks to my FanPage, wink wink. It also gained me massive amounts of hearts on images linking to my site, in turn creating powerful backlinks.

To add link juice to these networks just share content that gets re-shared. Play with it and see what works.

Tier 2

For my second tier I scrape and build PR1-9 links pointing to all of my 1st tier. Around 30 backlinks to each of the backlinks on tier 1. This is done with profiles on various sites like Amazon, Instructables, Yahoo, goodreads, etc.... Just create the profile and do what you want with it. Obviously I make my "About me" unique for every profile, unique profile images, and add my link to the site where ever I can. Mix it up with contextual backlinks in Angela style, hyperlinked text, and plain text.

Tier 3
Learning how to use some SEOtools can prove to be quite handy here. I choose to outsource for right now but there are some really great tools on the market that will benefit your third tier tremendously. I usually blast the second tier with 100,000's of backlinks. Divided up of course. Doesn't really matter how spammy they are, it's just for juice. If a link breaks I simply remove the profile that its pointing to on my second tier.
Then I add some RSS feeds (I outsource, you can find some great services here My Gray Hat Technique To Rank In Google ) to generate consistent signals.

For local businesses I would submit to directories and do some citations.

Honestly can rank a business in about 1 month - 2 months.

Learn this and you can make good money outsourcing SEO to provide to local clients. Or from your own site. RANKING IS BANKING!

Namaste

I personally have not much found any good conversion from Reddit and pinterest. Non buyers are going to be on these two social network. Correct me if I am wrong but not many people promote the product through these channels. Some may use it but not going to be that easy. It can be possible to see how the ranking may affect. I am going to try some of your technique there for sure as well.

One Tip about Pinterest I've learned. Create Boards that are in your Niche (or u can even Create Boards that aren't in your Niche, but are just Hot topics)
Everyone know the Basic Hot Topic Groups for Online Marketing:
  • Weight Loss
  • Dating
  • Electronics/Gadgets
  • Couponing/Groupon
  • Affiliate Marketing
  • SEO

Etc.

Then what you do is Create "Group" Boards and Invite Users with Lots of Followers to Pin on your Board.

This can become a little time consuming, and unfortunately, have not found anyone else to outsource this yet - Probably because Pinterest required that you each Follow each other before you can Invite anyone to Post on your Board.

A Good example of a Board I Started a while ago, but Ranks on Google's First Page all the Time, is THIS Group BOARD - which has over 120+ Active "Pinners" who create Social Interactions for me. I don't have to do a thing.

Then, when I finally DO have something to Post, It will be seen by all other Pinners in the Group, as well as their Followers.

As you gain Followers as a result of this, the cool part if now you have more Followers to Invite into the same group, or a Different one. It never ends.

To Invite Users to Pin on your Board, Click on "EDIT" on the bottom of your Board Icon while you're still in your main Profile Page. Then You'll see where it says: "Who Can Pin?"

Good tips ex. There is also a Pin Bot going around for free on one of the forums. I'm waiting for an update and then Im going to run it and see how it works. Need to get a VPS too!

Anyway brother, it's good to hear from you. Hope all is well! Haven't seen you in the forum in a while. o_O

Not too crazy about Reddit. But I heart We Heart It and Tumblr.

What are “contextual backlinks in Angela style”? What's “Angela style”? (O.o)

For RSS feed, the Google Feedburner is great. They have a Ping button and also a feature that lets you socialize and share feed updates to your Twitter account.

Reddit is good if you have shop. For example say you are opening a shop with shopify. And here you get paid for selling stuff. In such case the reddit traffic may be good enough. Make sure to promote your such site in right subreddit. Also pinterest traffic works with the shops.

In case of tumbr and the we heart it. I am guessing affiliate marketing links work good. Atleast I nevr saw much earning from the tumblr. And I don't have much experience with the we heart it. So have to check with that.

RE: We Heart It ~ If I "heart" images that linked to an affiliate link and got a message that it was accepted, I'm happy. Sometimes I get messages that the image can't be “hearted”. I let the WHI system decide for me.

As for Tumblr, they do allow affiliate links. You can read their Help Section for more info. Follow the rules and you should be OK.

Pinterest is also good since they allow affiliate links. When they first started they did not allow them, but then they changed the rules. When you pin affiliate links I have found that you should check them to be sure they take the visitor to the correct page. Some affiliate links (I don't know which) cause error messages.

As for Reddit, if it works for you, then use it. It never worked for me.

Looks like WHI is good on that part. And even more better is that they are allowing affiliate link. I have not seen much of the posts getting much traction these days from reddit. So I am looking for other sites which can be good traffic. So far I have noticed that people are using the pinterest so that they can drive both google and pinterest network traffic. It's interesting to see how it helps get some decent traffic in due time.

I am confused with the line that says “campaigning and inflating my account with 5k-10k likes in the beginning by purchasing FB likes. I wonder where those FB likes are coming from. And if they are genuine, what is the effect of those likes with the SEO of your website? I understand that the Facebook likes should be for the post about your website. I hope I am correct on this assumption. But again, I still couldn’t come to terms with that big number of likes that you buy.
