Having explained the idea behind my Bristol SEO experiment to my colleague and fellow digital marketer, Cole Whitelaw, he decided that he could beat me, but rank for Cardiff SEO instead. So we’ve decided to have a competition, where I can’t use external links to get me up the rankings, and he can’t use internal links.
I’ve got a feeling that this is a competition I’m going to lose, given that search engines seem to give credence to even the crappest of links, and directory sites still carry weight. Having looked at some of the links the competitors for SEO services around the web they either get links back on every person whose site they work on – which I don’t have a problem with at all, I’d do the same – or they’ve bought directory links for specific keyword terms.
So I’m pretty sure that Cole will win this one, but we’ll see…
