After writing a book about SEO and even publishing my own SEO products and services, I still seem to get the same question over and over again. That question is simply what the secret is to top search engine rankings. Other than applying SEO best practices, there are really only a couple of SEO techniques that stand above all else.
The reason why I consider some techniques to be true secrets is simply because they are not readily shared by SEO masters and others talking about top rankings. Why? The answer is that there are a number of reasons why these secrets are not shared by the most popular is the value associated with them.
For those of you who have been thinking about SEO, you are probably looking for the fastest and quickest way to put your website in the number one position on Google and other major search engines. The result of getting the much coveted number one position is traffic, higher ad revenue, and greater sales.
As someone making a living online, I can promise you that having the top ranking for competitive keywords is all it is cracked up to be. The difference between a number one ranking and number 4 ranking is the difference between making a living online and making next to nothing.
I’m sure by now you are wondering what some of these secrets are. I am happy to share one at no charge. Keep in mind that not every secret is all that esoteric or unique. It is more common that these secrets are traditional methods applies in a new way. That is how I view SEO related information because its rare that you find something that is all that new or different. More often than not, techniques are simply modified to get a result.

Yes, it is simple but not easy. In order to duplicate the success of your number one competitor, you need to discover why he has a top ranking.
Start taking advantage of this by analyzing the links into your competitor’s website. This can be done using Alexa or Google. When links are made to your competitors site, this is referred to as back links. These in-bound links often contain text inclusive of the keywords you are optimization for. Attempt to get links from the same sites with your keyword phrase included. This will help you to quickly match your competitors linking strategy.
The key to success is to find all of the sites linking to your competitor and then get links to your website from the exact same sites. The obvious challenge is finding who is linking to your competitor and then getting links to your site from the same web pages. The good news is that there are tools that can help you do this. In fact there are tons of them and some work better than others.
