SEO is not that complicated. Once your blog is seeded with good well-placed keywords, the trick is to get quality backlinks to water those seeds so they can blossom into organic search traffic.
Yet, Google has gotten very good at identifying SEO tricks to build backlinks. In fact, their most recent Penguin update has admittedly targeted “overly SEO’d” websites.
That is why it is even more important than ever for SEO methods to appear as organic, relevant, and as genuine as possible. This requires some labor — there’s no way around that — but that is why your efforts must be focused on techniques that actually work.
Luckily, there are still some amazing SEO tools and techniques available to every blogger that will dramatically improve your search rankings. With these tools, you can optimize individual articles to the front page of Google within days.
The services are well worth the money, especially since bloggers have practically no overhead. It is a minimal cost compared to the exponential benefits. But in order for these tools to work for you, you must first be proficient in the research and use of keywords.
You can spend less than $100/mth for smart SEO and your blog will go to the next level at lightening speed and maintain its prominence. Consider it the essential price of admission to the big leagues.
The two most powerful SEO tools that still work after Google’s Penguin update are SocialAdr and Blog Blueprint. These services help build relevant backlinks organically. They brilliantly use genuine blogs and social media accounts to place your fresh links at a natural pace.
SocialAdr
SocialAdr.com is a social bookmark sharing community. It is a free service that allows you to post your article link, the title keywords, and tags you’re seeking to optimize.
Other people in the community then bookmark, like, or share your article in their social media accounts. Because these shares come from authentic social accounts and are delivered at a measured speed, it is recognized as organic by Google and other search engines.
Each “credit” you have at SocialAdr is equivalent to one share. You can earn free credits by sharing other people’s bookmarks on your social media accounts. They also sell credits for as low as 1.5 cents each, and they have upgraded accounts that are significantly more powerful and worth every penny.
Signing up for SocialAdr is easy and it only takes a few minutes per day to manage.
Once you sign up, if you’re using the free version, you’ll have to load your social networks for sharing other member’s bookmarks. You don’t need to add your social networks if you buy credits or upgrade to a paid account.
After that, you can begin to post your bookmarks. See the video below for a simple tutorial of how this service works:

Blog Blueprint
Blog Blueprint is part of a larger SEO service that offers other products like Article Blueprint and Link Builder services. However, Blog Blueprint seems to be the most effective in terms building many natural backlinks.
Blog Blueprint works like this: You write a small original blog post with one link to your blog post or homepage with the “anchor” keywords that you’re targeting.
Blog Blueprint then posts the article on a relevant blog in their large network of PR3-PR5 blogs. You can spin several versions of this same blog post to appear original and submit them all to Blog Blueprint. Watch the video of how it works:
If you write 3-5 mini blog posts for each core article you’re attempting to optimize and post them through Blog Blueprint, you will see an increase in search engine traffic. More competitive search terms may require you to build many more links. Spending an hour or so a day building links with this tool will pay huge dividends.
Blog Blueprint costs $57/month, but worth way more in terms of what it delivers. The entire SEO package is $67/month, so it might be worth the extra $10 to try the other services.
Again, you must be proficient in the basic SEO tactics before you spend money. Otherwise you may be spending money to optimize keywords that you could never compete for, or that won’t deliver enough traffic to be worth the effort and money.
