6.7 Summary

Sorry, you are not logged in. Please login to get full access to this page or register if you're not registered yet.

Normally, in a chapter summary I talk about the results you got due to that chapter. This time, let me sum up the whole link–building part — and add a bit more.

What's the result of what you read and what you already managed to do?

I believe you're getting more and more reciprocal links.
Probably some blogger or reviewer is writing a story about you right now.
Your site is listed in numbers of directories.
You've got brilliant one–way links from the best forums in your industry.

And much much more.

No doubt you've done a great lot — and you'll see results soon. But here's the most important point of this all — of SEO, I mean, and of link building: NEVER STOP.

Optimizing your site must be your good everyday habit. It's as necessary for an online business as non–stop accounting for a bank.

So don't stop doing SEO. As soon as you're done with one task, switch to another and then get back to the previous ones. Build links day after day — and don't forget to check your rankings.

I've told you dozens of secrets and explained dozens of tricks. And I'm always there to help you even more at dan@seoinpractice.com. Anyway, now it's you and only you who's fully prepared to shake Google's top.

And your persistence is your keystone to success.

You think I forgot to mention something? Nay. Here's the thing: you're about to get your SEO certificate.

Take the final quiz and make sure you're totally prepared to seriously run your website and escalate your customer flow.

And I've got another small surprise you will surely like. I'm letting you put your SEO Certificate logo on your webpage — to cement the trust of your friends and clients. Having an SEO Certificate means you have the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve results, and this expertise is confirmed by a trusted source. And lets you boast a bit ;)

Ready to go? Make one last step to becoming a certified SEO. Here's your final SEO quiz.

Hi Dan,

This is one of the most thorough and quality papers on SEO that I have ever read, and I have read a few! Some costing a fair price for much less, I must add. You have put together one of the most complete and enlightening study guides on all the real aspects of SEO I have ever seen!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this, and I wish you all the best.

Sincerely,
Donna

Dan,
You are one really good and honest "Guru" on the Internet (the only one I'd trust right now...). You believe in your work enough to give us this much (career-transforming) value for free, knowing that the sheer value of your person and knowledge will keep you top-on-our-minds!

Every other "guru" keeps baiting us to buy more and more stuff, but in your case, you've just given me (for the first time in 5 years), a complete picture of what it takes to achieve limitless INDEPENDENT success online, regradless of what we sell.

I will do great things with your training, and you will indeed hear from me.

Thank you, thank you.

Hi Dan,

After spending the time going through this course over the last few days, I must say I'm really impressed - and Thankful!

After spending so much time looking for instruction on internet marketing, it truly is a refreshing change, to get solid detailed information as to how it all works and the opportunity to purchase a set of tools that clearly make the job so much easier..... and all before I've spent a single cent.

No question about who I'll be spending my $$$ with.

Thank you so much, Dan.

Hi Dan

Dan the information here was great. Thanks for helping us.

Does it count for SEO how many pages the site has?

Magda

Answer

2009-12-07 07:54:35: Dan Richmond

@Magda van Dyk

Well, it doesn't have a huge importance, but still, you'd better have around five pages at least. Google doesn't like websites that for example contain only the "sales" page.

Dan,

I wish to thank you, and your staff, for putting this tutorial online free. Although there are scads of SEO white papers, ebooks, etc. being pushed, this course has them, in my opinion, beat hands down. The fact that you made it available for free speaks volumes to your, and your company's, character.

I stumbled upon this site while searching for just this kind of clear, concise, actionable SEO information. Having been involved in offline marketing for 30 years, I migrated to online marketing and have being doing so for the past 9 years. During that time I have run across so many confessed "gurus" in the "make money online" niche of IM....(what an incestous, cesspool that niche can be!!!). Having found this site, this tutorial, downloading and trying the SEO power pack, I finally feel good about online marketing (I'm just gonna change my niche to working with small business owners) as a field, because people like who you appear to be give respectability to online teaching.

Comprehensive, succinct, detailed, easy to understand and implement, filled with value, actionable, and FREE...can't beat this.

Thank you very much
Reggie

Hi Dan.
First of all-Thank You!

All is written very clearly and with humour :-)

I Wish to ask a question still: how the domain choice on SEO influences?

Answer

2010-09-06 06:26:16: Search Engine Optimization | SEO Online Jobs

Have a great day, Dan!

I have finished the answering all the quizzes, and the system shows my score in every quiz. However, my final score reflects only the one I got from the final quiz. Is it because I answered the last quiz ahead of all the others? Should I wait for the system to update or is there another way to put things as they should be?

Thanks and more power!

Jayson

Answer

2010-09-21 10:48:53: Susan Davis

According to my quizzes, I scored perfectly on all of them all the way through, and I did them in order. When I took the last test and went back it said I successfully passed but my score is 16 out of 100 and that's what the certificate says too. I can't use a certificate even for bragging rights that says I got a 16% correct score :-(

Also, where do I see the scores I got? And is there some way to get my score updated?

Hi Dan,

It's obvious that putting together your SEO guide was a labor of love for you. Your passion for the subject has lead to this extraordinary SEO resource.

It is rare to find a resource as thorough and with as many concise and easy-to-relate-to practical examples.

Thank you again for sharing this invaluable resource with all of us. As a newbie, I believe you saved me countless hours of frustration and effort if I had not been lucky enough to come across it.

I hope one day I will be able to "stand on your shoulders" to my own online $ucce$$!
