Making a website needs more of a belief than technology. You need to believe in the Internet industry, as long as you work hard, it's never too late and there will always be opportunities.
The good or bad of text links, ranking lists, SP, CPC, CPM, CPA, CPS is not the most important thing. At least you need to do it and keep doing it to see the results. These methods are still very meaningful for increasing traffic.
China's earliest SEO optimization started in 2001. At that time, there were not many people online, no Baidu, no profound SEO optimization technology, and not as many websites as now. The main method was text links. Even today, with such advanced optimization technology, this method is still quite useful. Some movie sites have made some changes to this primitive method, connecting the text at the top to bring mutual traffic. Now everyone knows HAO123. Of course, HAO123 has been acquired now. Many people know it has a large amount of traffic, but its complexity is less than many personal sites. It just puts the sites often browsed by netizens together and categorizes them on a page. Thinking about it from today's perspective, it's amazing that such simple methods can achieve so much. But if you think about it from another angle, it's actually quite simple. Convenience for others is convenience for oneself. If you guide others to web pages, they will naturally recommend you. HAO123 just did it earlier and had a deeper background. Of course, sites like HAO123 that only have links and no content have been banned by Google due to lack of content. However, times have changed. Such sites without content have no future now.
Good things should be learned. Completely copying HAO123 definitely won't work today, but borrowing its successful experience and adapting it for use is still quite meaningful. In those days, HAO123 was to gain support from other websites, while we focus on traffic and PR. Both are about making links, and of course, other optimization techniques are also needed as auxiliary.
Link Optimization
I won't talk too much about links here. We've discussed this a lot before. I'm just reminding you. When making links, you need to pay attention to quality and structure. The quality of links is naturally better when it's excellent, but the structure is equally important. Support from big sites is necessary, but small sites cannot be ignored either. A team composed of all star players may not necessarily defeat a lesser-known Brazilian football team. Excellent links plus indispensable friendly links can highlight high-quality links and gain support from numerous small websites.
Keyword Optimization
Like links, this is also a topic that has been discussed a lot. Here I'll mention some fresh ideas. Instead of seeking single breakthroughs in traditional ways, adopt measures that let everything bloom. Our goal is not to optimize one or two keywords to the top five, but to optimize more keywords that users might see. Use cluster optimization methods to gather the power of those less popular keywords, which can be just as powerful. Simply put, don't put all your eggs in one basket. After all, the ultimate goal of SEO optimization is traffic, not ranking.
