A lot of the leading sites in the ambatchdotcom seocontest are reported to have tremendous numbers of incoming links pointing to their entries.
Some serious linking should be my next step...
At this stage I only have links from four of my home pages pointing to me (glad they have good Page Rank!)
So - my next step is going to be look at how I can increase the number of inbound links pointing to my contest entry!
I have the capacity to include such a link at the bottom of some
- 6,000 pages on Come On Aussie
- 5,000 pages at OzSmallBiz, and
- many more pages on my other sites...
but didn't want to do that right at the start of the competition, believing that such a "surge" of inbound links would be penalised by Google as being "artificial".
However, it might be a good time to start doing that... maybe one site at a time every few days. At least that way I can track any changes to my position.
The big thing to be careful of here is doing TOO MANY things at once! If your results change significantly, you have no idea what caused the change.
