SEO Jumpstart Service - FAQ
The GreenDezine “Jumpstart” service is focused on building links on clients behalf while providing transparency into what we are doing and why. We strongly believe this service will springboard our clients SEO efforts as high quality links lead to more links and ultimately higher rankings.
Some Frequently Asked Questions are as follows:
Link building is the practice of getting 3rd party websites to link back to a specific website with the end goal of increasing the relevancy of the site in the eyes of search engines. Each link can be considered a “vote” for the relevancy of the site and some sites (ex. CNN) have greater voting power than others (ex. Teenytinywebsite.com). The more votes and the greater voting power the more relevant the site and the more prominently search engines rank the site.
More Links = More Relevancy = Better Search Rankings = More Revenue
One of the sayings in SEO is that “Links beget links”, meaning that building one manual link to your site can lead to follow on links as more people find your website and link to it organically. In many cases one manually built link can lead to 5-10 follow links. Therefore, 6 months of Jumpstart would provide almost 20 manually built links but would hopefully produce up to 100 to 200 follow on links over time.
Each month of Jumpstart, GreenDezine's professionals will select three high impact link opportunities from the GreenDezine curriculum and complete those on your behalf. You will have full transparency on the links to be created and information to confirm the fact that the links have been created. THERE ARE NO additional costs. The price of the service includes any costs associated with link submissions, etc.
GreenDezine has developed a few link building opportunities that have a 90% success rate of success. The industry norm is said to be in the 10% range.
A summary of each link opportunity is below:
| Link Opportunity | Overview | Examples |
|
Directories |
There are a large number of sites on the web that attempt to database and organize the growing number of websites and businesses. They are seeking out small businesses, etc and the search engines like to crawl these sites as they provide organized structure website information. |
Yahoo Directory - dir.yahoo.com Best of the Web – botw.org GoGuides – goguides.org |
|
Local Directories |
Similar to directories, these directories are focused on databasing website and small businesses but are doing so on a local level. Search engines love to crawl these sites as well for reference and to find relevant sites. |
Yelp – yelp.com SuperPages - superpages.com MerchantCircle – merchantcircle.com |
|
Social Bookmarks |
There are a number of social bookmarking sites that allow users to tag website pages, save these tags for future reference and potentially refer to friends. The tags and profiles associated with these sites are heavily crawled by search engines for potentially relevant information. |
Digg – digg.com Reddit – reddit.com Delicious - delicious.com |
|
Article Submissions |
Similar to website directories, there are article and news directories that allow individuals to submit articles on various topics. GreenDezine will have a freelance writer create an article on a related topic to your business and will then submit this article to one of these sites which are heavily crawled by search engines. |
EZineArticles – ezinearticles.com GoArticles – goarticles.com IdeaMarketers – ideamarketers.com |
No. These tactics are what they call “white hat” and are completely compliant with the guidelines laid out by Google and other search engines. As mentioned earlier, we?ll be 100% transparent with each link so you can see which sites we are working with as well as provide you confirmation that the links have been built.
As with any marketing program results will vary. While link building is the biggest factor in SEO it is not the only one. However, we have seen some accounts that have been aggressive with link building move into the top 20 within 4-6 weeks and top 10 within 90 days even though they started out with a 100+ ranking. There are no guarantees but having an effectively link building strategy dramatically increases your chances for SEO success!
