Whats next after I rank for many keywords?

[StreetwiseReports]

I have a client who came to me wanting to know what's next for her as she already ranks in the top 5 for hundreds of keywords. She is right, her rankings for her niche are excellent and there are no relevant keywords for her to try and go after. What would be next to generate traffic?

p.s She also has links from just about everyone in the industry that's relevant

There has to be more "tricks" to seo besides keywords and link building

#1 for everything is always a start.

Increasing long tail traffic is always an option (assuming you don't already have plenty of longtail traffic).

Depending on the industry it might be an option to increase traffic from referring sites or social media not to mention affiliate marketing.

thanks, good thoughts, but would love more. The industry is shoes BTW

The difference between "top 5" and "top 3" for hundreds of keywords will probably be hundreds to thousands of visitors per DAY (depending upon the keywords)

I wouldn't be looking for "tricks" these days.

If your client is already ranking extremely well for that many keywords I'm sure she is already incorporating these tactics which are basic.

• social media: Especially Google+
• Offline tactics with online Press Releases directed to local media for positive exposure on and off line. Which will also help for greater rankings to get towards the #1 spot.
• How are they ranking on the other search engines?
• Info-graphics specific to their industry to be directed to all local bloggers and site owners.
• Brand Building:
• PPC Campaign: It is beneficial to be both in the paid and non paid positions since most people naturally want to click on the non-paid link. This gives you more impressions.

These tactics directly and indirectly add to SEO.

Hope this helps. Goof luck

Well said, from what I've gathered here, tricks get you into long term trouble. It has to be about the long term versus the right now.

Sponsor local races

• Marathons
• half marathons
• 10k's
• 5k's
• Tie these all to charities
• Again Press releases online but sent to local papers.

This will get you more Branding Benefits and closer to the Top Spot.

well same here i agree with EGOL and will not try any "tricks" this days.

if she already have links from all relevant sites go to the next step and get her more customers by starting social media marketing.

you can also just to feel that you are doing the job for her and it will also help get a press out there and talk about the new models she have.

hope that help

I would try to rank next in top 3 for those hundred of keywords by deploying some fine tuning.

Next I would go for long tail on a very wide range especially if it's related to shoes.

My 2 cents.

Does traffic make your client money, or do conversions make your client money? Are the people doing what you want them to once they get on the site? Optimizing for conversions may be the next thing to focus on -- make use of that traffic you're already getting.

I don't think his comment is well said at all, I think it is sarastic. As I said in my question, I am looking for more of a solution than keywords and linking, I am not looking for black hat "tricks" just other strategies. He took a word in my question and spun it in a negative fashion

[StreetwiseReports]

thanks, I understand the other ways to build traffic, looking for more SEO strategies here .

[EGOL]

It was very serious rather than sarcastic.   If you used some of the typical SEO tricks the damage done to your site could really cut your business and result in you laying off employees.

We have no idea of your level of knowledge.  So it is better to warn you about tricks than to see you return here crying - even if you don't like it.

got it, thanks for your feedback
