Google Ranking Experiment Proves My Point (Exactly)
There’s a reason I’ve silenced myself about this Web 2.0 hype.
While mainstream experts from the SEO and internet marketing arena continue to plot together and decide which way to pull the herd (you and I included), I’ve stayed solid on the same principles since May 2004 when NicheBOT began.
Get links to your site.
Wait, I may have overcomplicated that.
Let me say that again, but simpler.
Get links… get links… get links… get links.
If you are lucky enough to arrange an hour of powerful consulting with me on the phone and ask… “What exactly should I be doing to promote my website full force?”
Sure, we’ll come up with a surefire battle plan during the power hour, but ultimately it boils down to one thing.
Once you get powerful content up on your site, if you have NO money to test and send traffic via Google Adwords, you better start working on getting inbound links to your site with your preferred keyword phrases used in the hyperlink.
Warning: This could also mean that you may have to pick up the phone to build relationships with other related sites in your industry to get content swaps and such.
Here’s a bright, shining example.
The following Google Ranking Experiment one of my colleagues informed me about proves what I’ve been saying for years while all these marketing whores continue to pimp the latest and hottest thing.

Yeah, if you read that experiment, this wasn’t some floozy one month test by some internet marketer high on crack, it was done by a real business man over the course of a year with no intent on selling you an ebook.
And see, I’m going to explain what happens when you get led around by the folks pimping the latest and greatest way to get 100,000 followers on Twitter.
While I believe that people can teach you how to get a lot of followers on Twitter, I believe it is incredibly impossible to teach ONE universal method of how to actually monetize Twitter traffic across every single niche market.
Fact is, there is not one method that works across every niche market or industry to profit from any social media outlet. You have to find your own following.
Like many things, the methods used should depend on the market and the target depending on the niche, I may do a press release for one type site while I wouldn’t waste my breath on a site in a different niche market.
Here’s my biggest problem with all this Web 2.0 social media stuff…
While you are trying to get traction in your online business, you also get distracted by trying to learn this hot trendy stuff.
In the meanwhile, as 6 months stroll on by and you are just getting used to the latest and greatest new community hot spot, a new property rises up and is supposedly way better than anything else out there
Now you’ve got a new place to go master, all while you should have been getting inbound links to your site. 
If you’ve mastered the inbound linking thing, then as the experiment above shows, you should be well off with traffic and, with your extra time, go ahead and dip into the Twitter or any other web 2.0 thing.
But the key point is to not get distracted from mastering getting inbound links as it’s been something that has worked for years and I believe will continue working.
After reading that experiment (case study), I sense and smell the comeback of reciprocal linking.
I’d love to hear your thoughts below, even if they are controversial. 
Yours,
Jim Morris, President/CEO/Founder
