Google first page: how one blog quickly made it to Google’s first page

By on Monday, January 10th, 2011 | No Comments

I’ve written other blog posts with step by step tips on getting your website or blog onto Google’s first page search results.

(That’s important because 90% of Google searchers don’t look past the first page of results!)

One of my other sites recently made it to the first page of Google for a particular search phrase with decent traffic and mid-level competition.

Here’s what I did:

This blog’s sister site is TwitterPowerTool. After doing some research about popular search keywords regarding Twitter, I noticed that one phrase was particularly promising.

According to the FREE Google AdWords Keyword Tool, the phrase “twitter ideas” gets about 4000 global monthly searches.

Then I went to Google to see how many websites are already competing for the phrase “twitter ideas.”

To do this, first I made sure I was “signed out” of Google, by looking at the top right hand side of the Google.com homepage. My browser is Firefox, so then I went under Tools/Clear Recent History and selected that.

Finally, I refreshed the Google.com page.

Doing all that gives you a closer approximation to the results a stranger would see when searching for a particular phrase on Google. If you don’t do that before you do your research on keyword competition, the results you get will reflect only your personal searches, and those won’t give you an accurate, universal picture of what’s being prioritized by Google.

After I did all that “cache clearing,” I typed “twitter ideas” into Google.com. (Note: I used quotation marks around the phrase, just like that — that’s important.)

Looking right under the Google search field, it said “About 37,200 results.”

Tips on blogging: pinging, SEO and more

By on Tuesday, December 14th, 2010 | No Comments

* Is “pinging” dead? It used to be one of the top tips on blogging: always use “pinging” services to tell important sites, like Technorati, that you’ve just updated your blog. Pinging helped your blog get more traffic and backlinks. Today, however, one blogger says pinging is no longer necessary. What do you think?

* Like this blogger, I too have just discovered the free and easy note-taking took called Evernote. I now keep Evernote open all day long, and copy & paste juicy stuff from around the web there. It’s a great way to permanently store urls, thoughts (mine and other people’s), post ideas and more.

* In the Christmas spirit, check out “12 Days of Blogging”:

“…every day, you’ll get a post filled to the brim with links to tips from some of the best bloggers around the world. Some of these names you may recognize. Others will probably be brand new to you. Either way, there will be over 75 bloggers featured as part of this series!

“Every day, you’re invited to leave links to any post you have that is relevant to the topic of the day – and I’m hoping you’ll take full advantage of this opportunity to promote your own work!”

* Is it possible to “Learn SEO in 30 Seconds”?

* Speaking of SEO, here are “9 SEO Insights You Must Follow” — for instance, here’s what you need to know about your blog’s page title:

“The page title needs to be under 70 characters and no more than 3 long tail keywords in the page title. Your most important keyword should be first and each keyword should be separated by pipes (|).”
