Hey all,
I had a question yesterday.
“Vadym,
I wrote 10 articles targeting 5 keywords. Each article came up on the first page… but NEVER in the 1st place! Usually 8th, or 9th!
What do I do?”
Well… Article directories work exactly the same as any other kind of website.
Just INCREASE BACKLINKS!
Remember all of those nice little web 2.0 properties I gave you?
Use them.
Make sure that your anchor tag to the article is the one for the keyword, and get some nice big backlinks!
It works the same way for the articles that STAY on top for the keyword. You know, the ones that were written last year, and haven’t been changed yet.
If you take a look, you’ll see that they’ve got some solid backlinks built to them!
And that’s that!

I’ve been getting a couple of emails about this, so I want to clear this up.
There have always been TWO types of pages that you’re creating.
The supporting pages like Ezine articles, Weebly and Squidoo props, Digg bookmarkers, etc, are the pages which bring the traffic in. THESE are the pages who borrow authority from the website itself, and RANK for the keywords.
Your money page, on the other hand, doesn’t HAVE to rank anywhere, ever! Sure, it’s great if it does, and eventually, it will, but you don’t HAVE to target your money page to rank anywhere! This is the page which the traffic pages bring traffic to in order to convert them into commissions.
So forget trying to rank your no-age, no-authority domain for a 200K competition keyword! You’ll get a hernia trying. Leverage the power of the web 2.0 properties, bookmarking sites and article directories to do this work for you!
