Been having some success with this ranking technique. Group experiment?

Hey,

Currently testing a ranking technique (=love this one because it's REALLY quick to implement) that was "revealed" on the seo experts academy launch.

Dunno if this one has been discussed here but you can watch the video below (=Yeah we're all adults here and know EXACTLY what type of link that is):
>> (Video) Alex's Favourite Ranking Technique Of 2011 <<

Tumblr PR7 Technique Outlined In The Video

1) Create a tumblr page with your keyword in it e.g., http://www(dot)tumblr(dot)com/blog/MYKEYWORD
2) Redirect your tumblr page to MYKEYWORD(dot)Com
3) Like high page rank tumblr pages using the tumblr authority code Terry mentions in the video

I'm using the following variation of the technique to get contextual links in the equation:

Alex's Tumblr PR7 Variation
1) Create a tumblr page with your keyword in it e.g., http://www(dot)tumblr(dot)com/blog/MYKEYWORD
2) Create an actual content page with three text posts. Each post is tagged with related keywords.
3) Redirect my tumblr page to MYKEYWORD(dot)Com
4) Use pingfarm(dot)com to ping the tumblr pages liked

Experiment: Trying to get ranked for a high competition keyword


What I've Done So Far
Steps 1 to 4 above and have outsourced the tumblr liking to my sister

I don't want to give away the site and skew the results of the experiment but i HAVE noticed the site creep up 4 positions with no other ranking methods deployed.

What makes the experiment even more interesting is that the site doesn't have the keyword in the domain - It only has the keyword in the meta description.

If any of you have any EMDs that you're willing to "experiment" on it would be interesting to see if you're getting the same or better results using the technique outlined above and in the video?

Group experiment ?

Cheers
Alex

I also saw the video and am trying the technique. I think its important to put proper content on the Tumblr, not just a line or two like suggested. It is also suggested you 'reblog' other posts on high PR Tumblr's so you get an extra link back but this just gives you a lot of crap on your own Tumblr so going to stop doing this. I cannot get SEOquake to work to rank pages by PR and so have been slowly going through them and 'liking'.

What do you mean by : 4) Use pingfarm(dot)com to ping the tumblr pages liked

The downside is you can only link to a main domain I think from the 'customise' domain although can link to internal pages in the text part of the blogs and with pictures.

Hey,

Haven't tried reblogging the other posts since i've been getting good enough results by just liking.

Yeah SEOquake is finicky so i basically set a goal of 3 pages per day every 5 days and am doing it the same way you are.

4) Every time i like a page and find one that has a high pr, i take that url and plug it into pingfarm(dot)com. Don't know how often the tumblr pages are indexed but nudging the g-bots in the right direction can't hurt ;-)

Downside: The method works best for exact match domains but like you noticed you can get keywords into the text body as well.

I don't waste time with pictures. I just use text and use three quality posts at most.

Format for each post: Main keyword in title, main keyword as tag, LSI keywords in tag
- paragraph of text with keywords bolded and italicised appearing in 1st and last sentences + Keyword Tags
- LSI keyword in text + LSI Tag

Cheers,
Alex
