BackLinks

[Laverdureshow]

alright Dean I really appreciate your help yet !

so I guess ... if I put as much backlinks to my site and put a lot of good quality content with all the tips ed show us and work like this I should get good traffic and good PR ...?

Now, on my posterous account I should be posting anything related to my theme keywords even if it is a 2-3 sentences with a video ? (with a backlinks for sure)

Not necessarily. This is why we do these tests, to find out if the niche is going to work. They don't all automatically work, but this is definitely the only sane way to do internet market research. The Challenge method gives you the best chance for success, but there are no guarantees.

Besides reviewing Module 3 Day 7 videos and/or transcripts again, I recommend you follow Ed and see how he does this stuff pretty much every day.

I have 2 good question for you Dean!

First one :

I read it : Just put the phrase(s) you want to rank well for in the <title></title> tag and in at least one other area on the page. For some reason this isn't obvious to everyone: I can't remember how many times someone has sought my advice about how to rank well for some phrase, and I check out their page and that phrase is nowhere to be found! A while back a friend asked me how to get her homepage to rank well for her name, which was unusual enough that she should have been at the top of Google with no problems. After I checked out her page I felt like asking her, "And it didn't occur to you to put your name somewhere on that page?!" Actually, her name was on her page, but in a graphic. Google can't read that, they have no idea what words are contained in an image. And her <title> tag just said "Home". How is Google supposed to know that her page was about Sally Thunderpizza? (Not her real name.)

I'm using wordpress and my main page which is home doesn't have content writing on it. It only have post on it since it is my blog page. On wordpress my headspace has nothing writing there and also nothing writing in the page tittle. I don't have tag on my page also (I only have tags on my articles). Could it be the reason why my website doesn't rank on the first page ? (the compitision is very low)

I also have sub categorie on my menu bar where I post my video or new articles that also appear on my blog. Since my content is always moving down since I add new content everytime, does it change the weight or the SEO of my website since it's not always the same articles on top of my blog or category pages..?

Thanks and sorry for my english it's not my main langage.

You are right that Google doesn't read graphics, but Google does read the "alt" tag for graphics which is why those of us who practice SEO are always careful to include our keywords in the alt tags of our graphics.

Since my content is always moving down since I add new content every time, does it change the weight or the SEO of my website since it's not always the same articles on top of my blog or category pages..?

This is how Wordpress is supposed to work and it is actually good SEO. Google likes to see that your site is regularly being updated with new content. And since all of your content is relevant to your niche, it doesn't matter if an article about "blue widgets" comes first on your "colored widgets" site.

Also, don't confuse HTML tags with Wordpress tags. Same word, different functions. Plugins like Headspace allow you to divorce your HTML tags from what Wordpress does automatically for you. If you leave it blank, then the default Wordpress settings will apply.

Let's say you write an article called "The Joy of Widgets" but you want to optimize it for "blue widgets." You could change the title in Headspace to "The Joy of Blue Widgets" and that is what Google would see (the HTML) but a human visitor would still see "The Joy of Widgets" (the title in Wordpress). If you don't put anything in Headspace, it defaults to the Wordpress title.
