Agree with the above poster. Google+ is becoming more and more relevant.

LinkedIn is also big for certain types of industries, legal being one of them.

Good job there, the decade old domain should help, as that as you know is considered a big plus by Google. This looks like the makings of a successful project to build and sell the site, wishing you success and please keep us updated.

You could make it so who ever submits a link has to write a unique 100 word description to increase your text content to link ratio. Plus you would not have to create so much quality content on your own saving hundreds of hours. Just a thought.

Great article! I worked on a SEO project for a small law firm not too long ago. We found out that focusing on local keywords variations was the best way to maximize relevant traffic and show up in the SERPs. Ex. “Salem estate planning attorneys”

Second on the LinkedIn angle. When we were looking for contract lawyers that was our go to spot.

Interesting post Pixelhead… I have actually thought about getting some law firms as clients and starting an SEO business. These guys will pay big bucks for 1st pager listings and that is so easy when you know what you are doing! I bet they’d even pay to get listed in your directory

You can use Youtube to increase awareness of your site. I agree also with the comment about Google Plus; it is becoming bigger in the world of SEO.

I’ve used directories before but recently I started promoting a new site and not a single directory reciprocated my link. I think very few are maintained now. They have their bank links and get more all the time and they have a high pr and after that they aren’t maintained. That combined with google not rating them so highly, I hear, means I don’t bother with directories in general.

Also, you can add, if you haven’ done it already put the links on your Google plus page from Google Accounts->Edit profile->Add link. The best part is that you can use it for various links and even deeplinks. And this way you get the dofollow. You could also add other bookmarking sites buttons for the submissions. This way, the content will link back to you, to the business page. This regarding the links tracking back to your site. The unique description idea is also great for the content.

I’m interested in how this proceeds over the next few months. I’m a bit tied up with the sites I’m trying to build as of now, but always looking for things to increase my portfolio. Would possible be interested in creating directory type websites, if you’re successful of course!

Search results rankings are based on many factors, but they largely boil down to how authoritative the search engine considers your website…….

You need accounts on at least the big three: Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Google+ is still growing quickly, so you should probably consider it, too.

Again, make sure they are high quality, authoritative sites. Boyd recommends Universal Business Listing, Cornell Legal Information Institute and HG.org, among others.

Law firm SEO is really tough…We’ve stubbed our toe a couple of times trying to rank. It’s key to get a lot of published/cited articles out there.

Recently I saw there are many websites which give lots of advantages while your site is under beta process. One of such site is Pinterest, why don’t you make a page over there and post some HD pics related to your lawfirm and I am sure definitely there will be many visits from their to your website, as a matter of fact the pinterest site is a social Bookmarking like website as well!

Google+ needs the most attention because of the way google searches are being shown now. If there’s an active google+ page with your keyword in the name it pretty much always appears top.

I’m thinking about starting a law firm internet marketing company. But one thing I’ve learned is that it’s extremely hard to get past the gatekeeper when you’re selling these services. So many people are trying to do it which is why most law firms tell their receptionists to automatically turn these people away. If they want you they’ll find you. Any tips on getting past the gatekeepers would be appreciated.

I agree with some of the comments above, yes Facebook and Twitter are big, but you should also try to fit it some activity on Google+ and Linkedin. Google plus for more search engine relevance and Linkedin because of its more professional/business appeal.

Tackle common cases but one where a lot of people don’t really know about when it comes to legal matters. I think that is a good start if it’s not yet on the site yet. Right now I can’t seem to access the link above.

Unless I missed it, I haven’t seen any link to Google adwords keyword tool. This is a great tool to use when finding any niche/sub-niche. It will even give you ideas you didn’t even think about before. Your 1 year free directory promotion sounds solid but make sure you have the right keywords to back it up! Best of luck, follow your dreams.

To be honest, most of these comments are junk. To get some authority from Google, you’ll need high quality backlinks from sites that already have authority. Try creating a relationship with the people of these sites in your niche and acquire links from them… Say a guest post…

I agree with stan@stair treads. getting authority on Google is not easy. it’s a long-term and continuous process. listing on Google maps is important. apart from that, discuss core matters in the blog section of your directory. focus on topics like how to optimize a law firm site on Google and provide ample information. give tips and tweaks. extensive but calculative social networking is also imperative.
