If I didn’t have a clue how to launch my site and didn’t know my arse from my elbow in social media, here is how I would launch a site today;
- Get a domain name. Exact match? I’d certainly consider it.
- Put up a holding page with primary keywords once and one link to the domain address. Under optimise but theme the page with the keywords the site will target
- Get a link from another website
- Spend the next 1-3 months getting your content together behind the holding page.
- Spend the next 1-3 months on Digg & Stumbleupon – DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR SITE
- Say you have 25 Pages
- Create A Piece Of Quality Original Citable content or linkbait built around a related or exact keyword – a top ten list :)
- Launch Your Site (replace your index file with the new site)
- Get a friend to Digg & Stumble Your Citable content
You get
- Launch Traffic from Stumbleupon – perhaps thousands – Can you capitalise?
- Organic links from Digg and perhaps traffic
- A visit from Google
- Hopefully a decent ranking for your page
Well it worked for me the other week.
Then you start blogging. Link out. Remember for you it will probably all be about the content.
Stumbleupon – great for getting eyes on site. It’s banner advertising for the 00′s :) Getting Stumbled does make you all warm and fuzzy inside.
My approach is somehow similar. However, i will focus on internal deep linking and get link juice to the homepage. Once there, i will spread the link juices across the internal pages. There are many more work during all these processes that gets the traffic from targeted keyword research and optimization.
i have a problem. after my site start ranking for some key words. now it is not being ranked on google at all. even for the company name. i thought i was being penalized but i do not see a reason for that. i also want to ask. if you want to focus on one keyword per page. what should be the % of this word in the content. thanks
