Secret To Get On The First Page of Google

Secret To Get On The First Page Of Google

Well now if I tell you how to do it, it won’t be a secret anymore, would it?

I was doing a customary Google search on “BlogRush” and this is what shows up on the first page of the search results:

The first one has nothing to do with the product while the second listing is the home page of the product itself.

Mashable dominate the third and fourth spots - not surprising since they are after all a PR7 site and with only 14,200 search results, this isn’t really surprising.

The interesting entry comes in the 5th position. The URL is blogrush.weebly.com. Hmm… this could be something interesting. A subdomain off Weebly.com. Weebly is a site where you can make webpages and host them for free. Something like Squidoo and Hubpages.

Digging a little further, I found that a lot of subdomains (pages) set up on weebly are actually ranking well on Google.

Here’s how you can check. Do a “site:weebly.com” and you will see a list of subdomains on weebly that are already indexed. At the last count, there were over 8,500 of them.

For example, a search for trout fishing tips returns 2,550,000 results with the weebly site listed at #10. Not bad for a one page site that is pushing a Clickbank product.

How about this one? Data entry jobs from home. 50,400,000 results. And the weebly page is ranked on page one in the #10 spot.

Folks, the key here is to use your target phrase or keyword as the subdomain name on Weebly. I’m starting an experiment myself. Let’s see how it goes.

This isn’t for the long term but looks like something that you can benefit from right now.

Nice find. It seems pages like this and Google pages, etc are an easy way to get high in SE rankings. I see this more and more and it is working very well.

Well yes it can work well but let me tell you that its okay to start with but you have to keep updating. My site which you refer to above dropped from #5 on google for the long tail phrase and sat at #10 for 8 - 12 weeks, then because I didn’t do anything with it, it dropped out of the first 100 search terms. Now I have just spent 3 or 4 days when time permits to get it back up and I am still struggling to get back into the top 30 searches.

But I must say that I got a real kick out of finding this post with my site used as an example.

Cheers.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for sharing your results. It still works for some people. I just checked out a search for “wii tracker” and the weebly page is #7.

I have a number of weebly sites, they are great for generating traffic.

Another good way to get quick google indexing for a new site is to set up a hub page, upload a graphic to the hub page and tag the graphic with the website address for the new site you want to get indexed.

I did this the other day and it took less than 24 hours to get a link on google.

Another great way is to use you url as your name when posting comments, as I have done above. But always make sure the post/comment is relevant, another words don’t spam links.

Cheers
Mark

Mark,

Thanks for sharing your tips. Greatly appreciated.

One thing you should consider is to channel all that traffic you’re getting from Weebly and Hubpages to a site of your own. Are you doing that?

You could have an opt-in set up on your own site where you are capturing emails and keeping in touch with your subscribers in the future.

This is a neat little trick. I would create maybe 2 or 3 sites max from three different services like weebly, one being weebly. Don’t post the same content on all of them, and don’t post the same as your main site! Duplicate content can hurt your pagerank. I would just take your 3 most popular articles and post one on each of the 3 boost pages. Then post on the boost sites once a week or so. Each time you post, do a “summary” of what you have posted through the week on your main site. Then link to like mainsite.com/this-is-the-article so the reader 1 is redirected to your main site and 2 the google bot will see this. Deep page links are good in moderation, just like scrapers posting your posts on their site. Too much will hurt you, but a little will give you a boost.

It makes sense that a weebly page will be higher ranked. I don’t think google indexes the subdomains individually. So it is merged with the same indexing as weebly, thus a higher pagerank. Either google needs to re-write the engine, or subdomain providers need to work with google on having the subdomains indexed seperately.

In googles flaw is our opportunity. Use it to boost your site higher up. Once your boosted enough to rack in the hits, you can just leave the boost sites alone. The damage is already done. Muhahah

HI,

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, what a great experiment here, me myself are curiously to know why are weebly subsite has become one of the top seo rank..

Maybe this will happen for just a short period of time, if their subsite just like squidoo or hubpages, their site are not periodically updated and this will cause the site to push further bottom….

Just maybe and my opinion….

Hi Shawal,

Understand what your saying. My sites been on weebly for almost a year and it flucutates from page 1 to page 3 on google for the search term “trout fisihng tips” and i don’t put much work into the site. So I reckon it will be around and doing well for a while yet.
Cheers
