Promoting Website and Linking Website on Message Threads

[Think-Tile]

I am curious how everyone has gone about promoting there website and received a high ranking on google or yahoo (1st or 2nd page)?

Also, How do you post your website consistently at the bottom of your message thread without having to type it in every time when you are done?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Hi Neil,

You may add your website link into your signature line.

As for getting highly ranked in the search engines, that is a complex subject. Start by reading this article

To edit your signature - click on the User CP menu option (top left option on the blue menu bar). You should see Edit Signature under the Settings & Options section.

Neil,

I used to do this professionally - increasing Google rankings and also running AdWords and other ad campaigns. It can be very complex, but I can answer any specific questions you may have if you want to post them up or PM me.

One bit of advise - there's 'black hat' and 'white hat' methods. In old westerns, the good guy wore the white hat and the bad guy wore the black hat. Black hat stuff is stuff that tries to 'cheat' or 'trick' the search engine.

Well, most search providers assign trust rankings to sites. A black hat trick might give you a big boost but it will be short lived. Once the search engine people are on to the new trick, anyone using it will loose trust, and get penalized. Gaining trust back is very difficult.

So, if you read about some trick or loophole, avoid that advice. In the long run it's very likely to do more harm than good.

Also, the seomoz blog is pretty good
