Thread: finally outranked my competitors

i discover one of them is using tripadvisor's forum to promote his travel site links lolz
i then register to tripadvisor's forum and posted link of my sites related to those inquiries

the links isn't dofollow though but links can gain about 50 + visitors

That's what I called a traffic gold mine... hhmm... thanks very much for sharing... I guess I have to snoop around my competitor's backlinks...

Posting on related forums is great way to get some targeted traffic but you have to be careful not to spam... You can also try to comment on travel blogs(this is another way to get some traffic).

I also suspect that Google is still following nofollow links so don't care too much about nofollow...

I guess, as long as you give a positive contribution, you should be just fine.

Congrats on passing your competition, just another reason why forums are wonderful.

I'm still not in the number one though. but at least I'm now in the 6th position in the first page so not bad.

You have to build links constantly and you'll get there(1st position...). Remember, TripAdvisor is not the only travel forum around

Totally agree....

You can try to look for other travel forums here: Big Boards Forum Directory and of course you can simply google it

cheers,

Congratulations! One of the effective strategies is analyzing your competitors' backlinks! Such a 'cheat' move!

That's why backlink checkers are close to being 'SEO-god'

Interesting strategy, glad you're rankings are climbing, I'm sure you'll reach the top!
