      Not completely sure I get the question but if a competitor is one first page for black hat site don't worry they may be up there for now but longer term they won't stay up there. You will find that sites like that come and go but never stay long, keep creating good content and working on great link methods that in in Googles guidelines and over time you will stay at the top compared to being there for a week or two.

        I have analysis more website, they are on first page around 3-4 year not for only short period.

        For. Ex. zoomremovals.com.au, mainstreethost.com etc.

        As per you can we do directory, article, social bookmarking and other off page activity?

        We should link exact keywords or long tail which is good one as per you.

        Can we put link any blog, article and other content marketing?

          Hiya,

          I recommend you take a look at -http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo

          Directory, articles social book marking is no longer a good method for link building and if end up with you getting a penalty. It's always good to focus on long tail keywords but that doesn't mean you want any link profile of you have to look over optimized you want it to look natural and naturally most links will be a direct link.

          You can put a link where ever you want but be careful as it will look unnatural and get you penalized. You can create blogs that relate to your niche or find a community in the same niche and connect see if there is a link opportunity etc.

          Try to work out where a user would find a link to your website helpful e.g if your site is about gardening a gardening blog or forum may be a good start. Directories can be alright but again as long as its in the niche and not spammy.

          good luck!

            Hi Chris Painter,

            Thanks for sharing!

            I want to know, Can we do directory, article etc.for only high domain authority website for targeting only long tail keywords?

            And should we put link on blog website?

            Should be create blog on separate 20- 30 website or need to create only one or two then only update content.

              Hi,

              You can and high authority sites do tend to work better but again they need to be relevant, relevancy is the key here if your site is about e.g gardening there is no point in having links from car sites or politic sites etc.

              Guest blogging is a bit of a no no now - http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/guest-blogging/ as is comment spam in blogs of course you can still do some gust blogging for high authority niche sites that are relevant but just not spam across the board blogging.

              If you're going to create a blog rather than have 20-30 with thin content I'd work on 1 with really great content that's going to help users make them want to read it and share it.

              I recommend you read the guide I posted previously.

                  A few directories in a larger link profile isn't bad per sei but I wouldn't recommend having most of your link portfolio made up of directories & articles.

                    Yes but we should create more link portfolio not only directory.

                    Can you share us which activity can we do for onpage/offpage now a days will be great for us.

                      A broad link profile is great, do some community out reach for design places. A press release can be a good way to let people know you exists (though they will be no follow) optimize your site with meta tags etc.

                      There are some excellent resources here - http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo

                      (try chapter 7 )

                        Can you give me 2-3 website example for broad link profile and community website.

                        We should target no follow website or target only do follow.

                          A mixture of both, i suggest you take a look at your competitors and see what kind of link profiles they have it can be very helpful for working out a good measure.
