Rudy Dallal | SEO – Web Design – Tel Aviv – Baltimore

In mid October I started the RDezine SEO Experiment; I’ve tried to isolate important elements and to understand their significance.

Ranking #7 on Google SERP

After a month of intensive quality link building, RDezine.com moved up from the #30th rank to the #7th for the key phrase “baltimore seo“. I think I’ve concluded my experiment and here is a summary of what I found:

1. Optimizing your web site is the first thing you ought to do – this got me from Google’s sandbox to somewhere on page #12
2. Creating a blog in order to provide fresh content constantly – that got me to the #3rd and #4th pages
3. Building quality links from authoritative sites in your niche
   • comment: if you can get any .edu or .gov links, you be move up
4. Commenting on blogs- months after I didn’t not create any links, i commented on some blogs of Harvard University students that deal with SEO or Internet and I moved up a page!  I think that the nofollow issue should be reexamine since I notice a crewel in nofollow links on my site.
5. Joining niche social networks and groups – search groups in your niche, advertise your site
6. Patience…

and that is it! (well not really, but it is a start )

Oh, on Yahoo I have the #4 spot and MSN –NADA!!!

Now I need to focus on constructing a website in Hebrew – or should I say “tel aviv seo”
