There is nothing more confusing
than trying to understand SEO
(search engine optimization). For
every opinion found about SEO, a
counter argument is sure to
arise.
And make no mistake, SEO is vital
to internet success. Anyone who
has been following my website
knows that I have been putting
all
of my research on self
employment
ideas to the test. I even
purchased a
set of tutorials from a well
reviewed
expert to expedite my business
start-up. So, how is it going?
In my last article I mentioned that
I
was rapidly moving-up in
Google’s
rankings for my specific keyword
search. Well, I not only cracked
the
top twenty websites for my
keyword search after a couple of
weeks, but I actually earned a
few
dollars from clicks on my site. I
knew this had to be too easy,
and it
was. The following morning my
website fell off the map when I
typed in my keywords. I could
not
find it, anywhere. It was time for
more research.
I visited several forums to find
answers to what had occurred.
Possible causes ranged from
being
sandboxed by Google to an
interesting theory presented by a
few expert posts. My first
response
to the information that I
acquired
from my research was to revisit
Google’s webmaster guidelines.
After determining that I had not
violated any of their guidelines,
the
theory presented by the “few
experts” I mentioned earlier
became
more plausible.
The theory is that Google actually
gives a boost to new websites
after
their initial launch. Unfortunately,
the honeymoon soon comes to
an
end. The theory then postulates
that the website must now stand
on
its own. Although know one can
be
sure of any search engine’s
precise
methods, it would appear to be
the
case in my circumstance. It
became
clear that I needed to further
employ the techniques learned
from
the tutorials I had purchased.
My first step was to determine
whether my site was still indexed
with Google. To my relief, it was.
Now, I needed to find-out where
my
site could now be found. For this
I
enlisted the help of a tool that I
discovered online. It turns-out
that
my site was now on page forty-
eight for my keyword search on
Google. This is not good, but
considering the time that elapsed
while I conducted my research
into
the matter, this may be a huge
improvement from where my site
originally fell-to after the
honeymoon ended. So, where is
my
website ranked right-now?
As I write this article, my website
has moved-up to page thirty-
nine. It
seems to be moving-up very
quickly.
I, of course, am adding new
articles
and content to push my site up
in
the rankings, as well as to attract
new traffic. This is just further
proof that there is no magic
bullet
when it comes to internet
marketing. The only real success,
when searching self employment
ideas online, comes from testing,
optimization, and cold hard
research. As I mentioned earlier,
SEO is vital to internet success.
Beware of any advice that
suggests
otherwise.
