I Beat The I.R.S.

I Beat The I.R.S.

Targeted backlinks from blogs are very effective. I've been trying to rank one of my sites for the term "government tax sales". The term is semi-competitive and gets over 6,000 searches a month. At the top of the pack on page one is the IRS website.

When I started targeting the term, I was on page 3. I started getting targeted backlinks from blogs with PR using the method I describe in this video. I spent maybe 15 - 20 minutes every 2 - 3 weeks.

I moved up to the bottom of page 1 pretty quickly, but the climb to the top only gets tougher as you move up. After 6 - 8 weeks and 1 - 2 hours of work, my ranking was fluctuating between position 3 and 5 on the first page.

I decided to check my ranking before I went to bed and much to my surprise, I had finally beat the IRS site and rank #1. It feels good to see the results of my effort!
