How to achieve good search engine rankings on a writing website?

Dec 15, 2009 | #1
Can anyone tell me how bestessays and other offshore services have such good search engine rankings? And both on main domain and on uk.bestessays? I'm interested in SEO for my own freelance website, but so far I didn't get a clue how it's possible to achieve that. I know they may post spammy articles and submit to directories in bulk, but is there anything else? .edu and .gov links maybe? (but how?). Thanks,

It's because Google finds the website relevant and useful, that's why it's ranked and valued highly by independent search engines.

Stupid4 is a lying agent of bestessays.com, which is a blatant ripoff site from Ukraine.

The rankings of bestessays.com are largely the result of dirty, deceptive, underhanded spamming and other black hat tactics that will inevitably result in a banning.

but how?

This is not an SEO forum.

Good Writing Rank[Moved from]:

If you want to beat all other websites, beat them in search engines



If you want to beat all other essay-writing websites, beat them in search engines with any relevant search phrases. That is the key to your success. I am posting this because people think that analyzing the scam behind websites would reduce any of their profits. The fact is that if your website occupies number 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, all billions of Google users will land on your website and the conversion rate will be very high.

This will ensure that you are successful despite a few number of complains and essayscam.org critiques.

For example, appear in nos 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 with a relevant search phrase like " essay writing services in UK", whether you are located in UK or not, you will earn a fortune.

That is the secret. However, your challenge is to maintain revisits which can only be earned through satisfactory work.

Partner with an SEO expert and enjoy the power of new clients (who are the most) and hire good writers to help keep clients re-visiting.

Hope this helps up-coming essay writing services.

N:B. PM me for more advice.

That applies to AdWords, not organic search.

True

whats the difference

The Adwords is paid and expensive and never works because users consider the SERPS to be informational. On the other hand, organic search is free or economical (because you have to employ an expert) and really works for the success of your website.

That game is changing quite a bit. That's one of the reasons there's been such a big shakeup in the industry. A lot of the methods big companies were using to get to the top of search engine became liabilities pretty much overnight back in June.

Even though they got hit, though, it's easier for companies with bigger budgets to get to the top of search engines than for little guys producing content on their own. SEO has to get creative if you really want to be competitive as a small player.

Given our history and your position in the industry I'm going to assume you don't want an actual answer from me, but if I'm wrong please let me know and I'll explain the false premise that makes your question unanswerable.

I'm not into SEO so I'd gladly hear your opinion. I assume that with personalized search results it is very hard to even predict or measure the actual results of a SEO campaign anyway.

First, I didn't start this threat. Most probably the mods have put my post (that was written in response to a post in another threat) to initiate a very important area: SEO, specially in the wake of new Google guidelines.

Second, I do agree with you that it's more about being creative than being 'linked'.

Just a couple of hours ago I was viewing a page on a very popular academic essay site. I was surprised to see that the company was struggling with its SEO strategy. I wondered what its SEO experts were doing.

May I add: it's most rational to argue that the present-day trends may point to a future where SEO campaigns would be all about individual-focused, micro-level genuine backlinking than heavily budgeted buying, selling, and exchanging of "backlinks".

Someone at The Paper Store needs to be into SEO if you want to stay competitive, and I'm sort of turn between some lingering resentments and my dislike for your subterfuge on the one hand, and my desire to be an insufferable know-it-all on the other, but suffice it to say that the penalty will not be lifted--Google made a major change to their search algorithm this summer and the old way of doing things ain't going to work anymore.

Meo, glad to see you're still a voice around here, but you're giving away the milk for free.

I remember Google banned (still bans?) paper mill websites, so paid advertising in Google is not a great option.

micro-level genuine backlinking than heavily budgeted buying, selling, and exchanging of "backlinks".

or.. follow the steps of 'heaven for hackers' and try to hack legitimate websites (.edu or even .gov). They do that to try to make their sites on top and (unfortunately) some of them are successful.

I think you need to spend a bit of your time looking around what Google does or does not. I would give just a little hint: Google is thirsty for income it acquires from paid keyword search campaigns.

A comparison of writing services and their SEO rankings



I was hired by a couple of services (disclaimer: none of which is listed below - these are just examples for reference purposes) to investigate why their SEO rankings deteriorated. Below is a quick summary to anyone interested: there are a few sites that rank very high, but their high rankings are considered "black-hat SEO." They hire spammers to build links which may improve their rankings. I attach a comparison of three websites. Hopefully this information answers the question why some writing websites enjoy good search engine positions while others don't. If you have questions about my service you may PM me.

LEGEND: blue number - links gained; red number - links lost

 A typical SEO for a writing site.

Non-typical (abnormal) Example 1:

When this post was originally created, the focus of advertising for the website was still mostly SEO related. The better your SEO set up on your site, the higher the site ranking. These days though, it isn't as much as SEO keywords that push your site up the ladder. Rather, it is all about how much money you are willing to put in and for how long in the advertisement of the site. All the search engines have pay to advertise schemes that highlight your site within its search engines by placing the site at the top of the paid with a tag identifying it as an ad. The positioning and visibility of the ad will all depend upon how much you paid to be advertised, for how long, and on how many platforms. As with everything else in this capitalistic world, it's all about the money. Money helps you get to places you desire to get to. You want to be the most recognized name in the biz? Then shell out big bucks for advertising. The companies you pay to advertise your services will handle all of the SEO confusion for you.

I would say that you have made a very valid point, and yes since the time of this thread, a lot has changed over the WWW, and surely, using money has become more prominent which is unfortunate. A lot of new developments such as ad-killers have made their mark on the SEO scene, and startups with little budget may be struggling more today than those a few years ago.

Start ups in this business certainly struggle to gain a steady foothold in this business. That is because most of the independent writers and companies aim for the big leagues when they should be thinking about catching the small fry instead. The reason that I have lasted this long in this business is because I do not rely on paid marketing or advertising to get my business. I go direct to the source.

I pound the pavement at nearby university towns, I spend time at the local student hang outs to exchange messenger information with the students. I come armed with my sample writing and ready to do a single page sample (paid for of course) on the spot for any student that asks. I show them the value they will be getting for their money by directly advertising my services. This method of self promotion has never failed me and I have never had to fork over a dollar to Facebook or Twitter to boost my ads. I never place ads with them in the first place. Nothing beats blatant self-promotion on a physical level. That beats search engine ranking anytime.

Sadly, most don't want to put forth the work it takes to get business. Sounds like you have a strong work ethic and that has paid off with long-term repeat customers.

In response to the earlier posts and in agreement with @WriteReview:Many potential academic clients will be more open to in person or messenger conversations versus somewhere they may be "noticed." However, if you get a good foot in the door with academic writing, there is potential to do other work down the road (i.e. writing for businesses, etc.). It's a matter of how badly you want to succeed and how much you are willing to work for it.

If reliant on a search engine for promotions, you should also be willing to do more than just spend money on advertising so that your ad gets flagged as a highlight in the search page. You should also be able to use social media to effectively promote your business. By providing interesting blogs and animated vlogs in relation to academic writing, you will be able to reach a wider audience. Some students are just looking for writing advice online, not someone to write their paper. However, if your social media profile is interesting enough, then the student may go from "advice" to "hiring" you or your company to complete the work for them. The idea is to sell the student on the notion that the paper, when completed by a professional, will be of the utmost advantage to them gradewise.

SEO is dead. Search engines are barely making advertising revenue these days because businesses have changed advertising platforms. From the days of SEO ranking, we have now arrived at the age of advertisement boosting through paid visibility. If you are willing to pay the social media sites the advertising rates they want, then their data will target specific audiences to boost your visibility. Does that mean you will get more clients? That will still depend upon the type of service that you offer.

I believe SEO is still just as important today on various media platforms, such as on YouTube channels, etc.
