Ya, I know this is a very bold statement. I’m a blogger that loves white hat SEO. However, I realize that I’ve achieve very little success in SEO until a meet a guy.

Many months ago, I met up with a guy who is an expert in Black Hat SEO (sorry that I can’t mention his name). I enjoyed the conversation with him. From the conversation, I get to know that he has a PR7 site by applying the techniques and he no longer doing Black Hat SEO anymore.

I asked recommendations that helps me increase blog traffic too. He actually shared with me some useful Black Hat SEO Techniques. I don’t mean to scare you. All the techniques are extremely powerful.

After that meeting, this is what I think:

All bloggers should learn Black Hat SEO Techniques because White Hat Gurus only teaches you how to insert keywords, use meta tags and build links. Learn it to understand the fine line between the white and black. And, of course avoid getting penalized by Google. When I first started using SEO, my site got banned many times. I wasted money, time and effort that brings no results.

Before I start this post I want to say something upfront:

1. I am not a SEO expert.

2. I am writing about Blog SEO and not normal SEO for websites.

3. I am sharing some great Blog SEO results I got over the years.

These are not rock-solid truth, fact or science.

Phew… Finally, I can start the topic.

I state those 3 sentences because there are seriously too many self-claimed SEO expert there. Even most of them just talk without successful results. I have no intention to join the ‘gang’. What I’m sharing in this post is real and honest strategy I use for Blog SEO.

After a year of using Blog SEO strategy, I rank high for many keywords I want. I get traffic from hundreds of keywords. I used to call my friend that I’ll rank for a keyword in the first page. After a week, I call him again to tell him I’ve already achieved it. I have indexed my page in Google within 4 minutes which some people take months.

Let’s talk a bit about the big boss of the search engines- Google.

Allow me to say that Google is the best search engine on the internet. I always get the most relevant results most of the time I search for something on Google. And that’s the reason why Google is so successful. It gives its users the most relevant and accurate results. If you are trying to mess with their business which is to manipulate search results and to game the system, they are going to hunt you down by giving you a big slap. People call it the Google slap and many who tasted are still suffering.

If you have the intention to support Google by providing the best content for its users, SEO will not be hard for you. Let’s have a look with these 3 steps:

Step 1: Choosing The Keyword

I’ll usually choose 3 keywords which have high search and low competition. To choose the keyword you want, you can just go to Google Keyword Tool and type in the keyword to get some keyword ideas. Next, go to SEOquake.com and download their add-on on your browser. Go to Google.com and do a search for each keywords you get from Google keyword tool. If the search results of the keyword in the first page have no webpage more than PageRank 3, write down that keyword.

Step 2: Optimize Your Blog Change your blog title into keywords you want to rank for. You can include keywords in your tagline too. Change the permalink at the ‘Setting’ into ‘/%category%/%postname%’. Write new post everyday regarding your topic.

Step 3: Build Links Build backlinks by submitting articles to article directories, submit blog to web directories (over 800 at Addurl.nu) and comment on dofollow blogs.

That’s all. This is the easy version. There’re much more to learn about SEO. I’ll talk about it later. After applying these 3 steps, I believe you’ll rank for the keyword you choose within 3 months.

Yesterday I’ve post a short post about dofollow blog is a great opportunity for bloggers to build massive backlinks. I used them to get high PR for 3 of my blogs. Today, I’m going to share with you how can you do it step by step. There are basically 3 steps:

Step 1: Targeting The Blogs

I’m pretty sure that in the list of dofollow blogs, there’re some outdated blogs. These outdated blogs are either no longer maintained by the owner or the setting is changed back to “nofollow”. Here’s how to do that:

Go to seoquake.com and download their add-on. After finish installing it, choose to set a SEO Quake toolbar on your web browser (internet explorer or mozilla firefox). Click on the logo and click on Line-Through “nofollow” and “noindex”.

When you are done, simply go to one of the dofollow blogs. See the date of their recent post. If the date is within 2 weeks, the blog owner might be still maintaning it. Next, go to their comment section and look at their commentors’ name. If their name have something like this “john“, their blog setting is changed to “nofollow”.

Choose those which have no line through on the commentors’ name. Those blogs will be your target.

After days of posting 5 parts of “DoFollow Blog List”, you might ask “What the heck is that? What makes a blog have “DoFollow” in front of it?” Before explaining that, I need to ask you an important question:

“Do you think you’ll get a backlink when you comment on other blogs with your name, email and URL?”

Most people think they will.

After your comment is approved, the name which you use to give comments will turn into a link that links back to your blog. So, that’s a backlink right? Read the rest of this entry »
