A Little Analysis
I've been looking at the top 12 sites on Google for "Free Porn" and found these results
SITE #1 pr4 lb 8180 SITE #2 pr3 lb 3070 SITE #3 pr5 lb 3000 SITE #4 pr4 lb 2130 SITE #5 pr4 lb 4150 SITE #6 pr3 lb 2390 SITE #7 pr4 lb 5130 SITE #8 pr4 lb 6100 SITE #9 pr3 lb 48 (freeporn.com) SITE #10 pr5 lb 2380 SITE #11 pr4 lb 658 SITE #12 pr4 lb 210 (lb=linksback) none of these pages seem to be optimized for the term. A few cautious conclusions: PR is important but not all important. LB ..the same Having the domain name = term is very very good There are other factors I don't know about, maybe type of links back or the overall site optimization or ...? Any thoughts? |

1a. Not all links are created equal, so you cannot compare a site A (800 backlinks) against site B (10,000) and conclude merely based on those numbers that site A has a better link profile. 2. SERPs are not a reliable SEO tool because factors can't be isolated. 3. There are hundreds of factors. Knowing all the factors will not help you nail #1 ranking; at the end of the day its a popularity contest and anchor bomb game. Rack up links that pass juice = you win. Waste months collecting links that will be devalued by Google in 1 or 2 years = you lose.

A woman is like beer. They look good, they smell good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one!

#4. Free porn is a shitty term to rank well for. Plenty of traffic, sure. Will that traffic lead to sales? Probably not.

Free Porn = Huge traffic and it seems these days that traffic = power, power to get link trades , power to sell advertising etc. Its not all about conversion.
I personally don't think there are as many factors as we are led to believe either. I think it is more likely a case of randomly rotated simple algorithms and therefore the trick is to optimize for each of them which is almost the same as one complex one except that in some cases the factors may contradict. I don't base this on any hard evidence but it would explain why rankings seem to come and go so much for some and not for others. This is also how I would do it if I worked for google. Anchor tags are obviously an important factor so cooperative link partners have to be the way to go. |
