Webmasters want quick and easy solutions to their Search Engine Optimization problems.

If you are an experienced webmaster, you know that real Search Engine Optimization takes time and lots of patience. Most people want to get high rankings in Google and they want these rankings now. That's the reason why some companies offer quick and easy solutions that are supposed to bring your website in Google's top 10 results quickly and easily. Are these methods good for your business and can you afford to use
them?

5 quick and easy methods to get high rankings on search engines

The following five methods are the most popular quick fix solutions that some website promotion companies offer:

1. Hide text on your web pages
If you want to get high rankings for a special keyword, the keyword must appear on your web pages. If you don't want to change your web pages, hide keyword rich text on your web pages. For example, use white text on a white background, use CSS to hide text areas, fill HTML comments with keywords, etc.

2. Cloak your web pages
Cloaking is a method that allows you to deliver different pages to search engines and website visitors. For example, your website visitors could see your regular web pages while search engine spiders are redirected to keyword rich web pages that are stuffed with keywords that are relevant and not-so-relevant to your business.

Cloaking is an easy way to provide search engines with lots of content without changing your regular web pages.

3. Get content from other websites
Everybody knows that search engines need content to get high search engine rankings. The easiest way to get content rich web pages is to reproduce content from other websites on your website.

4. Buy links
Buying links is a quick way to get many links to your website. Why waste time to develop natural link partnerships with related websites?

5. Participate in linking schemes
Search engines prefer websites with many inbound links. Why not join a link network that promises hundreds of links within days with little work or no work at all?

Quick and easy solutions can become extremely expensive!

The problem with the methods mentioned above is that they all will get your website banned from Google's search result pages sooner or later. Google thinks that these methods are spam and we agree with that opinion. In fact, we consider such practices highly deceptive and unethical. We have discussed in previous blogs the ethics of
Search Engine Optimization.

You can get short term results with these methods but it is only a matter of time until your website will be penalized for using these methods. Just to be clear: Do not use the methods above or you will harm your website! You will end up being penalized, banned and/or blackballed.

Can you afford these methods?

Three questions and a risk-free plan.
Can your business afford to use one of the methods above? Consider these three questions:

* Do you have employees or investors?
* Is your website the primary source of your income?
* Would losing most of your visitors be a disaster for your income?

If your answer to one of these three questions is yes then you should avoid the tactics mentioned above at all cost. The risk is just too high. If you want to get high rankings on Google without risking your website, use ethical search engine
optimization methods. If you want to get lasting rankings, optimize your web pages for your keywords without spamming and get high quality links instead of using shady linking schemes.
Ethical search engine optimization methods take some time but they produce much better results than shady quick fix solutions.

Bookmarks
Most browsers come with the ability to bookmark your favorite pages. Many web based services have also been created to allow you to bookmark and share your favorite resources. The popularity of a document (as measured in terms of link equity, number of bookmarks, or usage data) is a signal for the quality of the information. Some search engines may eventually use bookmarks to help aid their search relevancy.Social bookmarking sites are often called tagging sites. Del.icio.us is the most popular social bookmarking site. Yahoo! MyWeb also allows you to tag results. Google allows you to share feeds and / or tag pages. They also have a program called Google Notebook which allows you to write mini guides of related links and information.
There are also a couple meta news sites that allow you to tag interesting pages. If enough people vote for your story then your story gets featured on the homepage. Slashdot is a tech news site primarily driven by central editors. Digg created a site covering the same type of news, but is a bottoms up news site which allows readers to vote for what they think is interesting. Netscape cloned the Digg business model and content model. Sites like Digg and Netscape are easy sources of links if you can create content that would appeal to those audiences.Many forms of vertical search, like Google Video or YouTube, allow you to tag content.

What is Anchor Text?

Anchor Text is the text that a user would click on to follow a link. In case that the link is an image the image alt attribute may act in the place of anchor text.

Search engines assume that your page is authoritative for the words that people include in links pointing at your site. When links occur naturally they typically have a wide array of anchor text combinations. Too much similar anchor text may be a considered a sign of manipulation, and thus discounted or filtered. Make sure when you are building links that you control that you try to mix up your anchor text.

For an example of anchor text, go to our search engine optimization glossary.

Outside of your core brand terms if you are targeting Google you probably do not want any more than 10% to 20% of your anchor text to be the same. You can use Backlink Analyzer to compare the anchor text profile of other top ranked competing sites.
