I wrote an amazing blog post and all I got was one lousy backlink!
Posted by admin on July, 23rd 2010
Real Web SEO has hit a few milestones this week including our 100th post yesterday and over 250,000 recorded in-links according to Website Grader (150,000 on Yahoo)!
We thought it’s time again to get viral online, our last viral attempt achieved a few hundred backlinks and there are so many other avenues we can explore.
Viral marketing can achieve the highest levels of natural SEO, if you create something amazingly funny, interesting or shocking then that viral can go global overnight. Top viral campaigns such as the one for the film “Blair Witch Project” generates a self-growing “buzz” online, people spread the news to friends and they spread the news again to their friends, the results are exponential and have an incredible reach. It’s not difficult to get people to link to the source of viral material, the web address can be mentioned in a video, linked to within a Flash movie or the viral material could be on the site itself.
So how do you start a viral campaign? Real Web SEO has firstly created a network around this blog and we’re stepping up efforts on our twitter page, this has resulted in several retweets of our blog posts and hopefully massive exposure when we finally launch a web viral. Contacts are key to getting something off the ground online, blogging regularly and gaining a mass of social links is a great way of finding new sources of followers.
Failing to promote your own blog or twitter profile will mean that your voice won’t be heard in the mass of information online. Writing an amazing blog post isn’t enough despite what Google used to say, build up your fan base and become more and more involved in your niche, then when you speak… people listen.
If you have limited resources or time then buy yourself a cheap video camera and get passionate about your niche on YouTube perhaps. With digital hard disk cameras it really isn’t hard to get your own video online these days, some cameras even can upload to YouTube automatically. There’s lots of other video sites to upload to such as Vimeo, Google Videos or Viddler so get spreading your know-how and you’ll build up legions of followers if you persist and keep quality levels high.
