How to get other Websites that Google already trusts to link to your Website.
We'll review 45 popular authority sites and the type and style of content to build out on some of them.
The 5 steps for improving the authority of your Website by leveraging powerful content marketing techniques.
Okay guys, here's the challenge. Now that you understand the importance of authority and hopefully you've gone through the 45 popular authority Websites document, I'd like you to setup an account on each one of those sites for your business.
But here's the trick...
Don't do them all in one day. Why not?
While it probably won't come across as spammy to Google, you don't want to risk creating 45 links to your Website in one day, especially if you have zero links as of right now.
Split them up into 5 authority site profiles per day. So, it will take you one week to complete this challenge.
And, yes... Google pays special attention to when it finds a link, evidenced by its link-acceleration algorithms that look for the amount of links created to your site each day, and whether or not those links are increasing from day to day, week to week, and month to month.
Also, when you setup the authority profiles, I want you to take up the full description to describe your business. Don't try to keyword stuff in there. You want to write something natural and organic about your business, website, products, service, or whatever it is that your'e peddling. But take up the full description field. If that means doing 2000 words, then do it.
Why is this so important?
Google looks at the quality of the links back to your site. If it's coming from empty profiles with just a link to your site and no meaningful information, it will either come across as spammy, or it won't give you as much link juice. So, take up the space to fill in the profiles completely. 100% completely. Go beyond the call of duty!

What happens when a rabbit races a turtle?
You know this story right?
The rabbit sprints, leaving the turtle in the dust. Right off the bat, it's as if the rabbit will win.
But the rabbit gets caught up, spins its wheels and veers off course.
The turtle moves forward, nice and steady, consistently towards the finish line.
We all know that the turtle wins. The rabbit was way too confident and didn't pay attention to the race, thinking there was plenty of time to win.
The moral of the story?
Don't be like the rabbit.
SEO is hard enough as it is when you try to learn it on your own. But don't try to blaze through material that you find anywhere on the web.
Why?
If you end up doing the wrong things, you could suffer the wrath of Google. And those penalties are hard to recover from.
If you're frustrated and feeling like the rabbit, that's okay.
Even if success in the field of SEO has long alluded you, and even if the thought of trying to consume all of the content that makes for a successful SEO campaign is all-consuming, there's hope for you yet.
The truth?

Imagine being able to send virtually limitless amounts of free organic traffic to your offers and pages on the Web? That skill is worth its weight in gold!
