How did I get “Free Month of Hosting” to 1st page on Google?

Hey there,

  So before I even start you reading this, I want you to zip over to Google.com and do a search for ‘free month of hosting’.  You should be able to find TheGuruMarketer.com, which is my site, sitting there on the 1st page beating out almost 50,000,000 other pages.  That’s a pretty competitive keyword phrase if you ask me and it’s ranked on first page of Google.  WOW!

  So how did it happen?

  Alright…here’s the dealio.  Most SEO experts will tell you that one of the most important things you need to do is optimize your webpage for the specific keyword you want to be found for.  But if you look at the source code of the page mentioned above, you’ll notice I don’t have either the META NAME=”keywords” or META NAME=”description” tags in my head.  I also don’t have the keyword phrase ‘free month of hosting’ or ‘free month hosting’ in my first paragraph of text, which is considered to be a great way to improve keyword density and ranking.

  I simpy have the page title set to “TheGuruMarketer.com – Free Month of Hosting.”  That’s it.  So why without those key attributes is that page still ranking so darn high?

  It actually came down to one thing, incoming links with high Page Rank values.   I have just over 50 incoming links to my site, according to Alexa.com and if you look at that list you’ll see quite a few of them are from blogs of other sites where I have either left a comment, or made a post.  The important thing about those websites is that they have a high Page Rank value and Google really likes that.

  So once I figured this out, it was off to the races on trying to find good blogs with high page rank values that I could start commenting on and getting incoming links to my sites for various keywords.  But man…let me tell you it’s a pretty hard task to find relevant blogs with high page ranks.  Finding even a handful can take hours.

  But alas, I have found a savior and best of all, it’s free.  It’s called Comment Hut and it’s a nifty piece of software that takes all the work out of finding relevant blogs with high page rank values for you to get involved with and start commenting on. 

  Yes I said it’s free.  So if you want a free copy for yourself, head over to the Comment Hut page.  There’s a video you can watch that will explain what the software does and how it works.  You’ll be able to grab your free copy from there as well!

  For my next post, I’m going to write up a step by step blue print guide that you can use to find a good niche market with great products to promote, find the highest searched keywords for your niche that have low search competition, and how to set up a page dedicated to drawing free search engine traffic, and making sales using tools such as Comment Hut, Micro Niche Finder, Word Press Blogs, and guides such as Blogging To The Bank 2.0.

  Ya ya…hope you like it!
