**SEO **exactly what was it? SEO was effort, patience, perseverance. I set out to bring these together and develop a project. I wanted to share with you the steps I took to achieve success.
First, I wanted to be different. I needed to provide satisfying information to users and prove that I was different from others. On this path, I carried out the following operations..
**–**First, I started by choosing a synonym for my domain for my project. Like Kundura.com instead of Ayakkabi.com
**–**I tried to keep the on-page work at the highest level; I shouldn’t lose the incoming users. PageSpeed was brought up to 90%+. A Q&A section was developed. Users could create discussions among themselves. For example, questions like “What do you think about these shoes, are they original?” were directed, keeping the user on the site longer. Articles were written in a way that users would enjoy spending time reading. So, it wasn’t just about providing information and saying it’s sufficient. A different atmosphere was tried to be created with small phrases like “look, there’s a social media share button here, share the shoes you’re buying, let people see them.”
**–**I opened 2 satellite (com-net) sites. My 1st site is PR1, an 11-year-old site (it’s also the keyword that would serve my category), the 2nd site is 9 years old (a site that would serve my 2nd category). I took good care of these sites. I had 50 articles written for each. There were also articles I pulled from archive.org of the deleted sites. I added them slowly. In the last 1 month, new outbound links have just started to be made.
**–**I opened 7 free blog sites like blogspot, wordpress.com, etc., close to my main keyword. Like ayakkabial.blogspot.com. Of course, I started creating and publishing articles for these with great care. Outbound links from these are just starting to be acquired.
**–**I added users via Twitter follow-for-follow, now there are nearly 10k users. On Facebook, I added friends and invited them to my page; I created a section on the site saying “follow us on Facebook.” There are 150 people on Facebook. I opened accounts on Google Plus under a few names; with these accounts, I occasionally provided backlinks to the satellite blogs and from 2-3 users to the main site. I created these links in an attention-grabbing way..
**–**On sites that allow comments, I made comments using quality sites and our site’s name. Forum promotions were added under different usernames, and they were very attention-grabbing =) So I hadn’t done it in the form of a promotional article. I used phrases like “Guys, are these shoes harmful, ya?” and added a picture. I got good traffic too =) In some forums, I was a 15-year-old girl, in others a 50-year-old grandpa. In other words, I’m trying to say “I’m a user, I have nothing to do with this site,” trying to be natural.
**–**I created the Anchor Text like this: oursite.com receives about 50-60% of the backlinks. My main keyword is around 20-25%, my categories around 15%, and the remaining around 5-10% were links from meaningless words like “click here”-“that brand.”
My Backlink Graph had to be very strange; I don’t think a site gets backlinks every day, I tried to be natural.

Here is our Webmaster graph. Bots liked our site quite a bit. The image bot is acting a bit weird; I’ll invite it to our site too.

We are in 4th place for our main keyword, and in 8th-9th-12th place for other important keywords. No work has been done yet for rankings like 33-62.

***Our shoe site is just imaginary. I resorted to this method to avoid revealing my project.
