While many webmasters main goal is to achieve that first page, top rank notch on search engine results, they are discouraged by the misunderstood belief that it’s nearly impossible to achieve number 1 rankings on most keywords.  Disregard anything you heard before about not even trying to tackle first page ranked sites as I’m going to give you the 7 things a top ranking site doesn’t want you to know!

Top Ranking Site Secrets

1. They can be taken over: Most sites that are ranking high on SERP’s are only there because of their age.  Have you ever done a search and the first result is one of the most hideous pages you ever been to?  Stupid and pointless glittery graphics all over the place, multi-colored and overly enlarged Comic Sans font, not to mention, elementary information.   Those sites are only there because of their age, nothing else.  Even a bottle of rotten grapes will catch eyes if its been aged for 20 years, doesn’t mean its good.  So remember, with hard and persistent work, the top ranked pages can be overcome.
2. Their site isn’t even 100% SEO optimized for that keyword: Most of your niches, the top ranking sites don’t have their site optimized for that keyword.  If you’re going after a particular niche, your URL will contain that keyword in it, an aspect that the top sites rarely have.  Remember, you’re looking to go after a micro niche, so you’ll have an immediate advantage.  Go ahead and look at any site relating to the keyword you’re after, there aren’t any articles submitted to article marketing sites on it, keywords aren’t stylized as much, and the keyword usage rate isn’t as optimized as it could be.
3. They more than likely weren’t planning to rank for the keyword: Type in a long tail keyword into a search engine.  Most of the top ranking sites have no idea they are even on the first page for that particular keyword.  That allows you to take advantage of that by making that your target keyword if the circumstances are beneficial.  By that I mean, if the long tail keyword is only searched for once a month, move on.  If the keyword returns 1,000 plus hits a month according to Google and/or Micro Niche Finder, you can make that keyword your URL and one up a site.
4. Page Rank fluctuates and top sites are too lazy to maintain it: Nothing in life is forever.  That especially applies to Page Rank (PR).  Google is constantly updating it’s PR formulas, lowering and raising pages PR statuses.  In order to maintain that high PR, websites have to have a constant presence in the niche community of that keyword.  They have to maintain one way links from other high ranking sites.  Now, most of these top rank sites have hundreds, maybe even thousands of individual pages, posts, blogs, etc.  Do you think they can truly devote enough time or money to each page to maintain its SERP’s?
5. They don’t implement a link building program: Following up on the previous element, these sites can’t implement a link building program for every page they’ve got.  In my previous post on Cheap Search Engine Optimization, I talked about the need to become a pronounced figure in your niche community.  Comment on blogs, post articles to article submission sites, volunteer to post for another website in exchange for a back link.  All of these things give you one way back links that enhance your Page Rank and make your site more popular.  Most of these sites don’t do that because they base all of their Search Engine Rankings on the age of their site and don’t have the time or resources to link every page.
6. Comments are their greatest method of updating content: While people like you and I whose sites are relatively new have to constantly update our page with long, educating, and engaging articles, these top ranked sites only have to put a few paragraphs on the keyword their targeting and sit back and allow the 1,000’s of followers they have flood their pages with content in the form of comments on the post.  So, to counter that, either come up with more engaging and/or controversial articles or write an article where as you say that the webmaster of that page is wrong.  Then go to their page and write a comment saying that you disagree with what was said and link to your article there.  Promise you many of the sites hardcore followers will flood to your page to find out what the hell you’re talking about and voice their opinions.  If they bash you, don’t delete the comment, you’ll soon have followers who will believe you and a debate will develop right on your article.
7. There is no magical formula: I know some of you think that these top sites have done something unknown to anyone else or they’ve perfected every single factor that pertains to SEO.  This is not the case, you can easily take over these sites and become the dominant figure in your niche, I have faith in you.  I’ve done it, and so can you.  It’s very easy to accomplish, just takes some work, but it’s worth it in the end!
