Why do some keywords randomly never rank now on sites but always different ones?
Is this Ron's elusive 'randomness metric' :P?
Its weird before these dreaded last couple of updates sure only a few kws would rank in the top 100 within the first week or two, but sure enough the others would trickle in to the top 100 and fall into line gradually increasing thereafter.
Now tho on sites Ive duped many times 2 or 3 kws will rank in top 100 but then NO OTHER KW WILL SHOW EVER!
Now it would be understandable if it were the same keywords each time cos you could just surmise these were the easier ones to rank but the weirdest thing about it is its always different keywords that will show and stay like it's totally random. Ie each new site I make using the same kw it will be a different couple of kws that show in top 100.
Cutty boy will be laughing as he sips on his decaff and nibbles his baguette he just picked up from the google snackbar.

There are many possibilities to pay attention to not to mention the strategy you are using... It's pretty hard to diagnose the problem when I don't know what your doing in the first place to suffer from what your suffering from.
I don't believe there is a randomness factor algo, they can't simply rank a site by 'chance', this is my theory anyway.
Different people do SEO differently, people use different tools.. Services.. No one SEO individual is the same, so it is very difficult to see where you are going wrong, I always recommend back link monitor as you can see what is happening with your SEO efforts, I'd say you'd be able to know why you're not ranking for a certain keyword within 10 minutes of analysing your backlinks within BLM.
There are many SEO's that just use the, build a site a day and have 1000 sites to SEO and then set an forget their project/campaign with the same old spammy settings and expect to rank like they normally do.. Well that just don't work anymore.
The 'luck' or the 'randomness factor' has to do with where your links end up hitting and sticking, you could have 3 identical sites and use the same identical site list to build your links, but without knowing where your links are or see what's actually stuck, and see 1 of your sites ranking and the other two not.. you can not simply put it down to luck haha, it's more to do with the site that is ranking, simply had a better stick rate in your link building project or perhaps SER created more high pr EMA on certain domains which yielded better results for that keyword..
The sooner you stop putting SEO down to luck / chance / randomness the sooner you can buck up your ideas about this line of work and make a lot of money!
50-100 links on t1,
60k-130k on t2 (depending on the site)
All links are contextual for t1 and 2.
Im using EI on all links and have checked them and they are getting indexed at around 40-60%. I reverify every day so all those that are shown should be live pretty much.
Im just looking into onpage again as 2take2 suggested that might be a prob.
In the niches I work in, I build 10's of thousands of tier 1's which include at least a couple hundred EMA links.
I need at least a couple hundred exact match anchors in order to compete in my keyword market, which are all powered up by at least 100 ibl's and then a further 100 ibl's to those tier 2's.
If you're not ranking for your terms it is an obvious indication that you're not doing enough.. Simple as that.. The first thing I would do is build more tier 1 links making sure you don't go above the 1% - 5% ratio for any given anchor text, then proceed to build your tier 2 and I would definitely advise building a tier 3, it does seem to me that google has looked at upstream links, by which I mean, the authority or ibl's going to your tier 2 sites, SERPS increase dramatically when a tier 3 is applied, not only does it increase the overall indexing rate but it also increase authority to your tier 2's and eventually tier 1 / money site.
Ranking is easy nowadays.. High authority links is all you need and this is what gsa SER is good at doing, fast! With SER you're able to falsely manufacture this authority using your site lists.. Which is what I like doing and things just get better as time goes by.
On the other hand you could go the easy/quick avenue and just buy high pr links and then set up a completely generic/variation keyword campaign and also blast your site, you'll rank in no time.
Judderman = 2take2?
The problem was tho I kept getting sites penalised I thought due to doing too many links on t1 too quickly, but in hindsight maybe it was an anchour text problem.
and no 2take2 = 2take2 :P. he also recomended i look into it recently.
LOL @peterparker - I don't remember saying that about the size of your tier 1 being a problem, but you can rank a site both ways, "the devil's in the details" as they say.
Im not attached to either way just want to find a way that works ! :P
And as for how many kws im targetting, mostly only 8-10 and another about 20.
Top 30-40 for tough keywords or shall I say competitive keywords.
I am still using a drip feed through EI though.
@kaine Yes I only work with do-follow links, I delete the no-follow links after index processing them at least once and no I'm not building any tier 2 links to my tier 1 no-follow links no.
By the way, what is ibl? EMA will be exact match anchor right?
Yeah, all using SER, I don't use any paid link sources.
