[...] In my quest to learn and share the basics of SEO and keyword ranking, I posted a recent article titled: Graphic design Edinburgh and keyword search ranking. [...]

[...] David on SEO for Specific Keywords [...]

Thanks for asking.

If you can create site-wide links for each of my 10 specific keyword phrases that’d be great. ;)

Really though, is keyword ranking something you think your readers would be interested in reading about? If so, why not publish an article, mentioning my homepage / this article with specific anchor text?

Perhaps you / your readers will uncover some great tips we can all implement.

I’m publishing an update soon, once I see significant progress, and I’d be happy to reference your article with the anchor text of your choice?

Of course the same goes for anyone else who is interested in writing about keyword ranking.

just a thought; but is there anything we/I can do to help you out with the “Graphic Design Edinburgh” Google keyword ranking?

Of course content is vital. Absolutley. Some people might say that with great content SEO takes a back seat, but at the end of the day, if no-one knows about your great content then you’re going nowhere fast.

Thanks for the compliments and for stopping by to comment. Feel free to get in touch should you wish to write a guest post. ;)

Oh, and KUDOS on your offer to be a guest author! I am constantly BEGGING my clients to make such an offer on their blog!

Thanks for that link, which I’ll check out shortly.

Andy,

I’m not sure why the NoFollow isn’t functioning at the minute. It could well be to do with the URL move. I’ll work on that as soon as I get a chance. Cheers.

Craig,

That’s very kind of you. I’ve pinged an email your direction.

It looks like the SEO bug has bitten you :). Email me if you want some targeted keyword phrases that have no or little competition. I will send you something for free since you are a fellow follower ;)

You also can benefit from site wide linking to your home page using a keyword and not “home”, maybe sites do this from their footer.

You can use some article marketing, though that is better when you already have a lot of other links to add to the mix.

One of the most powerful keyword research tools is the Adwords Keyword Suggest tool. That gives you a list of related terms, and those are the terms you should plan your site around.

p.s. You might have a problem with your dofollow atm, maybe since you did your move.

So you can see what keywords are searched for most often in your target areas.

And you can compare different searches to see which is most popular, for example: http://www.google.com/trends?q=designer%2C+graphic-designer
