My business site, remarcom.com, is on page one of Google today (and reasonably high up on the page) for "Denver copywriter"! I’ve been pursuing this competitive keyword pair for maybe six weeks, and I’m very jazzed to have progressed so quickly.
My guess (since the ways of Google, much like the universal unconscious, are unknowable) is it’s about 90% due to the Squidoo lenses and 10% due to creating the backlink from this blog. I haven’t driven much traffic here yet, so this link isn’t yet as valuable as it will become.
If you have any doubt that you can rate decently on Google without a lot of spam, trickery, or highly technical knowledge, remove that doubt from your mind. I did it the old-fashioned way, by creating high-quality content in a plain brown HTML/CSS wrapper, and so can you.
Congratulations on the GoogleLove! I’m enjoying your blog; I don’t remember how I found it. My interest was piqued while it looked like I might get a gig as an English teacher. That’s dried up now, but I’m still hoping to turn writing into an income stream somehow… I guess I have pleny of company in that dream. 🙂
People who know Google are surprised that I show up as high as I do for Vinyl Art. The problem is that nobody knows to look for vinyl art, as my concept, my art, is new. The thing that’s hard about Google is when people looking for you don’t know they’re looking for you.
Peace.
