Just stumbled on JT Pratt’s SEO blog and found a great article here “A Newbie’s Link Building Experience“. With all the generic SEO advice out there this is a refreshingly clear-cut, super-helpful post.
Most links were developed through finding & commenting on Top Commentator blogs, and then later on guest posting using something called the “Free Traffic System”. As such they’ll be fairly low profile but in quantity will add up, perseverance is the name of the game. Also features other newbies forays into link building and uses a great “case study” approach to how new sites can get off the ground with link building. Great.

I’ve been developing links for the generic “search engine optimization” very steadily for the past few months now, but today decided to switch to something more attainable and more useful, “boston seo”. Well, within 4 hrs my site has gone to No. 47 for “boston seo” from outside the Top 1000. I first noticed this a few days ago, when I made a change to my blog and discovered Google displayed the change impressively in under 10 minutes. It seems that if you blog regularly with good content, Google can identify you as a source of regularly updated content and update your listings very quickly.
This means 2 things then:
- 1. Blog and similar social, CMS-driven content can be updated in minutes, compared to possibly months for older static-content sites.
- 2. Local searches are easy to rank for and represent highly profitable niche markets.
It’s easy to love Google when things go your way of course, but nonetheless, thank you algorithm, that kind of speed is something I simply never expected and I can’t wait to see what else is possible.

Recently been working with some great people in the Boston area, not a native Bostonian myself but love the city so have set myself a target of building a reputation over there, starting with Top 10 rankings for “boston seo”.
It’s the classic SEO story of individual up against agencies, but still with just 5,840,000 results in Google and the typical agency link building patterns, sitewide links from client sites, strong local listings and some savvy blog commenting it looks very doable. Let’s see how it goes!
