Optimizing a Site You Can't Control

[Scott406]

A member of my networking group has a website that automatically redirects to his page on the 100% corporate controlled site. Does anyone know how to get him ranked better on Google for certain keywords if he can't change anything on his site?

For reference, he works for Legal Shield. His website is http://www.helpmemikelee.com; but if you go there it take you right to his agent page on the Legal Shield main site.

Thanks for any pointers!

So you want to rank a domain that has zero content whatsoever and is only used as redirect? Not really sure that's going to happen, because the whole point of getting ranked is because of the content under that said domain.

To an extent yes. Since he can't control anything on his corporate account, he has to rely on the redirect.

My question is will guest blogging, backlinks, or anything else help get his site ranked, or is it well nigh impossible?

One method is getting the crawlers check the site with content then disable them and add the redirection code.

The problem is that you have no site to begin with. You cannot rank something that doesn't even exist.

Like Hugpop said, you could set up a site, rank that and then just redirect it, but that would be a temporary thing at best.
