Back Links from Yahoo Answers

When the basic steps of onsite optimization are done, your website or blog needs quality back link. Easy to say but hard to get. I always start with back links from yahoo answers. This is the easiest option for me, and for other webmasters, for having quality back links pointing to your blog post or website.

For the people who don’t know what yahoo answers is, I shall explain it shortly. Yahoo answers is a service from yahoo (duh?), where people can post a question, and people who know the answer on that question, can post an answer. Within this answer form it is possible to put a link to some informational blog post or website content. With answering questions of other people you can receive back links from yahoo answers for free.

Well isn’t this spamming? You should ask me? NO! If you are writing good content on your webpage/blog, and people are having questions about that particular subject you made a post on your blog or website, then it is very good information for people who want to know more about the subject you are writing about.

Within yahoo answers it is possible to search for a question. So if my blog post is about keyword research, and I search on the keyword : seo (which is the main subject). Than yahoo answers will show me a list of question about seo. Than I browse trough the questions, searching for someone, who wants to know more about keyword research or having a question about it.

For this blog where you are reading on at the moment, I also searched for some seo questions on yahoo answers, who where still open to answer. I posted 3 answers on 3 different question, with a back link (from yahoo answers) to my seo blog. See here:

1. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) Tools | Search Engine Marketing?
2. If u have an Experience in SEO?????
3. Can any body tell me list of seo processes?

Voila you see, I have free back links which are quality too. This is completely ethical and definitely white hat seo. You help people with their questions, and you are having some nice backs link from answers. Maybe you even get some daily blog or website readers.

Search Engine Position

A great thing was happened yesterday, my blogpost received an search engine position on place number 13. With minimal keyword research and with minimal effort you can see it is pretty simple to get a descent ranking in the google search engine.

3 days ago on April 28, I made a post about the keyword: overture keyword tool. When I woke up yesterday, I checked the statistics of that post , and my new test example post already received traffic from the google search engine. Right after that I checked the google search engine position for the (overture keyword tool) keyword phrase, and we hit the number 13 spot in the search engine. Well that’s a nice position.

Another nice thing is that my blogpost is not only ranked on the keyword: overture keyword tool. But the blogpost is also ranked on some short or long, relevant synonyms like : overture keyword, overture tools. And a nice number 1 spot on the phrase: research using overture. Again more targeted traffic is coming to my blog.

I already checked out three days ago, the websites (my competition) who are in the top 10 results. If you check the top10 google search engine results on overture keyword tool. You see that on number one is the overture keyword site itself. Below that are some heavy trusted domains, like :

1. overture.com 9,137 backlinks and pagerank 5
2. pixelfast.com 4,443 backlinks and pagerank 4
3. keywordbox.com 11,627 backlinks and pagerank 4
4. seroundtable.com 82 backlinks and pagerank 4
5. seroundtable.com (subpage)
6. webmasterworld.com 97 backlinks and pagerank 7
7. yahoo.com 1,869 backlinks and pagerank 6
8. quickwhois.co.uk 386 backlinks and pagerank 3
9. vretoolbar.com 965 backlinks and pagerank 3
10. seochat.com 6,362 backlinks and pagerank 3

This is BIG trusted competition. Almost all well known and very trusted domains by the google algorithm. The search engine position number 13 we reached, with our simple blogpost, is just great. I expected a search engine position like this between number 10 and 18. With this information you can see google likes our blogpost. It sometimes also happens, that I am expecting a position between 10 and 20. But after a few days my website or blogpost has recieved above a number 100 placement. So I take my looses and I move on.

Ranking higher with this basic blogpost can be done. But I can’t predict how much effort it takes to enter the top10 search engine results. Maybe I can reach search engine position 10 by just some good backlinks. But it can happen that I need a lot of backlinks. Maybe more that 82 back links (look at the top 10 above).

You’ll see that reaching the top 20 can be done with minimal effort. Just follow the keyword research article. This is one of the most important steps to reach a descent search engine position. If this important step fails, it takes a lot of work, to rank a simple webpage or website in the top 20 search engine results. When you enter the search engine above position 60, just move on, and don’t waste you time with optimizing a bad page (in google his eye’s).

If google likes your website content you can see a descent search engine position, if there is minimal competition. Then the time has come to search for some good backlinks, to move up your search engine position. Follow my seo blog daily. I shall make some blogposts this week, to show you how my blogpost will rise (or drop) in the future.
