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. Johno,

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. Hi Divva, of course content is vital. Absolutley.

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. Aaron,

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. If you link to someone with a trackback, and they use dofollow, you can choose your anchor text.

Although not perfect (it can only give you data for google) it can give you some interesting insight into what people are searching for. It also show search density in relation to location. 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 You forgot to mention google trends as well.

Thanks for stopping by. Craig, Great point about mixing up your anchor text for a wider reach. Taking me as an example I'd love to rank for 'print design edinburgh', 'graphic designer edinburgh', .web design scotland' etc. etc. Mike,

I didn't visit all the links and I am sure it was mentioned but it is worth mentioning again. You need to mix up your anchor text some so that you have different KW phrases pointing to your website. You will raise flags if you have say a 1000 links pointing to you with the exact same anchor text and not a lot of other links pointing to you with different anchor text. It's better to have 500 250 100 100 50 etc. Nice blog, keep up the good work. I follow as well :) It looks like you are getting a lot of feedback on the post.
