Its not just a term but performance of your blog highly depends on it. Being in the industry from quite some time now, with lots of different experiments and case studies I got to know about many facts which are proven. It is very important if you are working on SEO of your blog or website.However the title says a bit different but I will tell you few key points for a successful SEO campaign before coming to my main point.Points to Consider While  Carrying Out  Your SEO Plan#1. Google doesnt consider Meta Keywords anymore, they said it before itself. So dont waste y our time in adding meta keywords. It will only tell your  competitors about your targeted keywords.#2. On Page SEO is important but hyper linking 1 keyword so many times in content body wont do any good, using it once in entire page is enough.#3. Keyword Density is important but it should be natural. Stuffing keywords just for sake of keyword density will harm your site so dont go for it blindly. 1% keyword density is enough to tell Google about the keyword you are targeting.There are some more points for On Page SEO, but you might have already been aware of that so I didnt repeat here.Off Page SEO Techniques Which Works like CharmI have handled  at least  500+ SEO Projects and successfully completed them. With my  experience I found a few things that I would like to share with you all.#1. First of all everything which you do manually and at the right time, will never harm your site in any way. So the first and most important point, dont ever go for automation it may not harm your s ite at once but eventually your site may suffer in the long run, so why taking  unnecessary risk.#2. Article Submission was the one of the most effective SEO Techniques before Google Panda hit the content farms last year, I achieved handsome ranking with it. If you pay a close look at its price tag it is still very useful but not as effective as it was before.#3. You will see some attractive terms like Link Wheel, Article Prism, Link Tunnel etc, these names are given by SEO Firms to attract customers, they are nothing more than SEO Services. It doesnt mean that these services wont work but see what they are offering exactly. A Link Wheel is made of Unique Web 2.0 properties, interlinking your articles, with a similar URL of your targeted keyword, there is no point why it will not work and harm your site. It will work for sure until you post copied content, spun content, or make it with software etc. For me Links Wheel are very effective, I use it often for my sites time to time.#4. Now a days everyone is focusing on Guest posting, let me tell you one thing, its gem in field of SEO, you are getting backlink from a Authority Blog which is not made for just link building (unlike Article Directories). Links from such sites are worth more than 100 or may be 1000s of links. However few bloggers turned their blogs into content farms only as they dont know how to write posts and they want to earn money from blogging so they open their blogs for all guest posts, no matter whats the quality of post and provide backlinks, so choose blogs wisely for doing guest posts as well.Things You Should Avoid During Link Building ServiceI was informing from the very beginning that do not go for any automation and here is an example what happened with automation and preferring quantity over quality. This is my hands on experience that I would like to share.Few days ago, I was just checking Warrior Forum (Warrior for Hire Section), found a good looking thread which was promising 1000s of do-follow, wiki links, .edu backlinks, do follow blog posts and many more mouth watering offers for almost nothing. Package was starting from $20 and maximum of $50-60.READPanda Cannot Read English, Please Stop Talking RubbishSeller was also providing review copies at discounted price, when I requested one, he was willing to provide me, he asked for 3 keywords and URLs for the review copy work.As I never trust such services I decided to give him one of my dead site so even if it will harm I wont be in much pain.Due to my misfortune, I got busy somewhere and when I checked the PM, I sent URL and Keywords of one of my well performing site which was doing quite well and giving me decent revenue which was growing month by month.As it was a review copy, sales person did not bother providing me updates and after 1 week when I askedHey man!! I ordered a review copy, where it is?He replied,I am sorry we were busy and we will do the work now.I said ok.After 2 days, I received a report an d when I opened it, it had more than expected links. It had about 400 Wiki Posts, 200 mixed wiki posts, about 250 do follow blog posts, 10 .edu posts and about 250 social bookmarking site posts. All sites had all 3 of my keywords hyperlinked properly. I was quite astonished as for that many links we would have charged $1000 and I got that all for free.Story Changed after 2 daysMy site was ranking #2 for a main keyword on Google but suddenly I found a HUGE drop in ranking of all my keywords (not only the three I ordered but all the keywords). My main keyword was now ranking #23 which was ranking #2 before. I am attaching 2 screenshots of my site ranking before the work done and after the work done.Before the SEO Job StaredThe Result of Buying Automated Cheap LinksAfter SEO Job DoneI am sure you can see the results, my site was penalized by Google for the crap links and it has proved once again, it is Quality what Google is looking for. If you go for Quantity over Quality you will be in trouble sooner or later.My Reaction After This IncidentI was so frustrated but I controlled my frustration, I emailed the seller to see the result of his Crap Links and requested him to remove these links for me. I also said, I have more than enough SEO Staffs, if you can even provide me the login details for the accounts I will ask them to remove the links.I found Wiki Links can be edited by anyone so I asked my staff to leave all important works and delete all the so called crap do-follow wiki pages. It was around 800 pages and took 2 of my employees to remove those pages in 6 hours. As Pages on social sites and blog networks need login we could not remove them from our end.I again emailed the seller and informed that we have removed all those pages you only need to remove the blog posts or you can provide login for that, we will do that as well. He told me some story and said he will get it done in couple of days, but did not remove a single link. I again asked for update and he said it will be done by Tuesday and again after 2 days not even a single link was removed. I am helpless as I dont have login for those accounts and they dont bother to do anything.Lesson I learnt : Dont just go after things that may seem lesser in price because they may leave you broken in the end. If an iPhone is available for the price of $10, you are not lucky, youre being fooled.In the end, I would like to say only one thing, if you think someone is offering something which is not possible with the manual work, dont go for it. Automation will never take you on top. It can only harm you in future.
