How do you target a certain keyword to make your site link for?

How do I get links for a certain keyword? I have tried alot of senarios. I have keyword stuffed my page( didn't work). I have used keyword sparingly (didn't work) I have used not alot but often didn't work. So for example if I want to rank high for golf clubs. When I ask for recipricoal links do I put the terms golf clubs in the title and description alot(in my website description for recipricoal links)? Or heres another one, sometimes when I write arcticles i hid my link behind like the keyword golf clubs. Does this work? I just don't understand How to rank high for a certain keyword. Man if you could explain this to me I will give you a free for life pass on my auction website i'm building.



only way I know how to target a key word is social bookmarking or articles. What I don't understand is when I do articles how are the keywords in my article relating to my website. 1 are they being picked up in the title then use my link in the page. 2 Or are the keywords targeted when I code the keywords in the background in the article( for a keyword like golf clubs would be blue with my keywords behind it).

The anchor text (title of the link or in your example, the blue text) on an page other than your own is how you rank for certain terms. If you want to rank for golf clubs, you need to build links using the term golf clubs along with variations of that term (i.e. nike golf clubs, buy golf clubs, Taylor Made Golf Clubs, etc.)

If the article you are writing which includes a link is put on your own site, this will not help you rank at all. It may help search engines gain deeper access to your site but in order to rank, these articles need to be put on external sites. These links (editorial links or 1 way links) are amongst the best types of links to get. The relation of your article to your website is that you can often add 1 link (like it appears you are doing) to a page back on your own website. More than 1 and people will see through your scam of trying to get links and they will likely not allow you to post articles anymore.

Keywords are picked up both in the title, in the content, as well as your internal urls as well as from external anchor texts linking back to relevant pages on your site.

Ok so your saying the title and content; the keywords are picked up from them. And the internal urls. Does it help to label the internal urls? Also which one is the most dominant in keywords linking to your site. Does the spider look at all the keywords and then says golf clubs is said 38 times and then sees the link so it says lets give this page more votes because golf clubs is said 38 times in the content? Like it takes golf clubs because its said in the article alot and then points to the URL or is it when you label the internal url that it gives your url a boost because its labeled the keyword "golf clubs" the words your trying to obtain?

2. Sorry i'm almost done. Like anchor text going back to my site. Like for example if the site was jimmysshop.com/golfclubs? would that be what you mean by anchor text? This would give your site alot of votes from the search engines? If this was true i could have some anchors like jimmysshop.com/golfclubs/taylormade to point to a more specific page and gain more rankings?

I would also like to thank you for your first answer it has been the most on point response thus far. Thank you for that if you could help me clear up these last little issues i'm having with these I would very much appreciate it. Thanks

For starters, strike the theory from your mind about how many times a keyword is present or used on a page, in your titles, in a document, etc. as any SEO advantage. Keyword density means nothing! So if you have the term golf clubs used 38 times ore 5 times, you will not see any advantage by using the term more than less. There is going to be a quiz on this later so don't forget that

There are several theories on how to use your titles and h1 tags for pages and articles. If you are writing articles to be placed on other sites you may want a more catchy, eye grabbing title so people will read it. Mind you, these articles should not be your "best" content as you'd want to save that for your own site. If I know an article that we are creating is going on another site, I usually go for a more attractive title to get people's minds interested. I'll use the keywords and variations of them in the header tags throughout the article. Which leads to anchor text....

The anchor text is the actual text of the link. The drawn out URL is where that link points. In your example jimmysshop.com/golfclubs?, you would want the link to point to this page but the anchor text should be golf clubs or in your 2nd example jimmysshop.com/golfclubs/taylormade, your anchor text should be taylor made golf clubs with that link pointing to your taylor made page. Does that help explain it better?

When you write naturally, you tend to use variations of your intended terms. You should write with a thesaurus handy to use synonyms of target terms. This will also help your article get picked up for other long tail keywords which are more specific and more targeted which usually leads to better conversions and sales. These long tails usually will not have many searches as a general term like golf clubs would have but are generally terms which will complete a sale.

Now we'll play a little game for a few reputation points, True or False, the number of times a keyword is used on a page, in a article, in your titles, etc. (aka keyword density) has many SEO advantages.......

Hopefully this helps clear things up. You should definitely start reading a little more and as you start learning more of the basics, begin asking more specific questions. There is a wealth of information to be found in these forums, as well as others.

I will be asking you for your email address so I can have you set up a user name and you let me know which one it is so you will be a free vip member for the help.

Ok so when I do articles what in the article is pointing the keywords i'm trying to obtain to my site? For instance I write a article about golf clubs. Does the title point to my site because their is a link in the article. Or does say I write the article titled golf clubs. Then in the body I put my internal links behind the word golf clubs is this how I get my targeted keyword?

And the last unanswered/sort of answered question is this. When I submit recipricoal links I put a title and website description. In my title and description the keywords that are their i'm guessing these are good ways to capture those keywords to point to your site?

Also Yes its true I have a auction site that i'm launching and whoever helps me the most with seo will get a free pass for life on it. I have been a power seller for years and me and a group are teaming up because of mistreatment. So please do not give me some smart answer or text book answer I need real help. If you don't want to give out your cherrished secrets then send them to my email bidbuygone@gmail.com Thats all I want. If i say your posting helped then you will get your VIP free for life screen name of your choice and I will make sure your never messed with unless you well you know. Alright take care I appreciate some of the help i'm receiving here thanks.

great info. I think internal linking which target your keywords are also works

first focus on your tags,title ,keywords ,description then check your content and links within site...specially see either your anchor text,H1,H2,H3 are among one of your keywords if not then set them..

This is a free forum and the information is free. All I ask is that you come back with a follow up and tell us what worked and what didn't. People take the help and run but too few never look back.

The link you put in your body points to your site. The reason you are putting your article on another site is to gain exposure for your own site, amongst several other reasons, as well as help the other site rank for your content (this is a whole other thread). Some sites don't allow links within the content and have an area about the author where you can get a link to your site. A link is a link no matter what but a specific link with your keywords will help more for the page the link is pointing to. Just remember to save your best content for YOUR site. Your less than desirable articles should be used for other sites.

Yes. You have to vary these or you risk getting caught up for spamming. Don't be afraid to use your domain name as the anchor text as it helps you on local results. Not sure if you need to focus on this but just an FYI.

Some smart answers as you call it are all that some people have offer. There are many varying degrees of knowledge on this forum. It's up to you to determine what information will be best for you to apply. I don't think it's fair to disrespect anyone for trying to help you. Not for anything, my answer is pretty text book as this is a text book question. If you read more of the forums here, you'll find that out.

Remember, people receive thousands of dollars for this kind of help. You are getting it for free here so be thankful it's not adding to your overhead costs and accept with thanks what is contributed by everyone, no matter how "smart" you think the answer is. Just say thanks!
