i am working in a small company as a SEO, they have very small website of 10pages and they want to bring on Google.co.uk(the web) 1st page for keyword "landlord insurance". i tried very hard from last 1 year and it came on 2nd page just for 15days and it goes back to 7th page.
What I did, is

1. submitted in lots of free directories
2. submitted some article in free article submission directories with backlink.
3. gave comments on articles with a backlink.
4. Placed answer of query in forum with backlinks
5. Setup news section with wordpress so can increase number of pages.

Company don’t want to spend money on internet marketing link PPC or paid link submission.
What else i should do to bring on first page for a keyword “landlord insurance”
Do i need fresh articles? Where i submit them.(we want only uk visitors).
Any suggestion

The trick with link building is - I beleive - to make it appear "natural". Therefore get a mix of anchor text AS IF different people had been creating links freely. Therefore rather than having 1000 links pointing back to your website all neatly labelled with the anchor text "landlord insurance" (Google will dismiss these links as spam and probably discount them), create a mix of links - landlord insurance, insurance for landlords, landlord's special insurance, property owner's insurance, cheap insurance for landlords, insurance and landlords etc etc. (see Google anlaytics keyword tool for different terms people search for).

Also include the odd my site or plain url into the mix.

Include a few nofollows to make it appear more natural and get your linsk from a mix of sources - blogs, articles, sb, forums, press releases and if you can other websites.

Make sure your onpage seo isn't too spammy as well - ie check it with some keyword density tools out there.

hi, thank you for your reply.
Actually our domain is 3 year old and we changed the design more than one and half year ago, and started SEO, and when i am checking back link from yahoo i saw our site have

103 no follow backlinks
190 no text in link
371 one are have text in link(like landlord insurance, insurance for landlords, cheap landlord insurance etc.)

But don’t understand why its not coming on 1st page of Google. And also when i check backlinks with Google its shows only two of them don’t know why.

how do you explorer the link, which tools.

Ok, if i submit my whole website links in bookmarking website then i can achieve more backlink in short time. But don’t know if that will work.

But still my website is no 4th page and I don’t think after 1th page of Google (for landlord insurance) other website has more backlinks then I do.

happy SEO

Thank you for nice suggestions. I will put one heading in h1 tag and will increase more content on home page. you are write, to get backlink is really very hard job if i ask some webmasters to give me a backlink first of all why they will give me backlink or they will ask for reciprocal link. Only article submission is possible where i can give myself backlink. Maybe need to increase the number of article submission.

I am really trying to find some relevant website for oneway link exchange. What about bookmarking submission.

hi andewsmith,

yeah before i have only 10-12 pages, then i setup news section with the help of wordpress to increase the number of pages, so now i have 196 pages. But only the problem is the "News" link is in the bottom of every page. and to be honest i don’t know how much this link improved my ranking on Google.

hi Arbaz,

i am doing this but without signature, i am finding the relevant forums or blogs with the help of one software and replying the meaningful answer and leaving backlink with my keyword.

this is good suggestion, from now i will try to setup signature before reply the query.

Thank you

I highly suggest to:

1st Optimize your site

2nd Links to some relavant sites. dont just link build or create link build but select the quality Link back.

I dont know exactly your News link, but i think you should have a link pointing to your News pages and make optimization each of the pages so that SE can follow your landing pages. Other means is to create sitemap and submit it to Google Webmaster.

I suggest to work on Social Bookmarking first before Forum or linkbuilding/1676-list-blog-commenting-sites.html">blog commenting / signature.

You can also do Link Wheel too so it can really boost your Ranking.
