First Page in Google

Okay, it's been a week now and my new site is now number 10 on the first page of search results for the keyword search term, reverse mortgage pros cons. I've postponed playing any Adsense ads on it until it's settled closer to the top. I have written two articles and submitted them to an article directory. I've also got plans on adding new articles each week. This site should reach the top of the page within a month or so. Maybe sooner.

Regarding my actual business site, Redding SEO or Redding Search Engine Optimization, I've just entered it into Google Maps so it's available there. It should only take a day to see it in the search for Redding Search Engine Optimization Services.

Here's the Google search result stats for some keyword search terms:

Redding SEO - #1
Redding SEO Blog - #1
Redding SEO RSS - #1
Redding SEO services - #1
Redding search engine optimization - #13
Redding search engine optimization services - #13

My goal is to have the last two search terms number one as well. However, that will take a little time. It is hard to estimate the time because there are a great deal of factors involved, but I would expect to see it within the top 5 results within the next 2 - 4 months.

Till next time,

Main Page Search Results

Everyday I am seeing changes in Google's search results. It takes patience and time to get your site on the main page search results. Today my main site is around 16. Google still needs proof that it is worthy of planting it on the first page. If you were to scan the first page results for the search term, Redding search engine optimization you will see that my site is the most relevant, yet it's not on that page yet.

Why?

Because Google sends it's Googlebot out to spider sites, not people. Millions of pages are added everyday to the search results. Manually trying to take on this work is out of the questions. This is why it is so important for "us" the people who own the websites, to help the search engines out by creating our web sites in a way that both benefits the user and the search engine robots that spider our site.

My new site, reversemortgageproscons.com is listed at number 11 today. I will be writing new articles and submitting them to an article directory soon. In time, both of these sites will be on the first page search results.

Natural search results take time, but they are worth it.

Keeping you posted on the results,

Moving Up The SEO Ladder

Well, let's see. First, have to say that my http://www.reddingseo.com/ site is jumping around like crazy. Number 12, then back to 14, now it's at 16. It's going to take a while before Google realizes it belongs on the first page, right there at the top.

Reddingseo.com is number one right at the top for the Keyword search term, Redding SEO.

Okay, so... my site http://www.reversemortgageproscons.com/ was at number 125 yesterday. Today is day 4 and it is now number 13. :D That was a very big leap from yesterdays stats. I'm really hoping to see it settle into the first page right at the top by Saturday.

Listed in Less than 36 hrs

Okay, today is Dec. 30th, but I'm not actually going to post this until Dec 31st. I've already posted several times today and I don't want the search engines to consider it spamming so it's going to have to wait.

So, I now know where my new site is "listed" in Google's results. Waaaaaaaaay into the results on page 13 I think it is, you'll see it. It's about 125 right now. But, this is only the 2cd actual day so let's give Google a few days to sort things out.

I'll keep checking to see how things move along.

Talk to you soon,

Google Search My Site

Yep, I asked that Google Search My Site and Guess What It Did!

Okay, just checked Google to see if they know my new site is online and it's official. Google has added my new site, http://reversemortgageproscons.com/ It's only "added" under the actual domain name, it is not currently "listed" in any of the results. Not only did Google search my site, but it added my site in under 3 days.

My SEO site took just about 6 days to get listed, but using a few extra techniques this time I was able to get this new site in Google's directory in less than 3 days this time. Not bad hm? Well, the key here is to see it within the first 30 results once Google decides where it belongs.

I'm anxious to see where Google decides to place my site in the search results. Hmmmmm?

Keeping you posted,

Redding SEO Moves Up

I just visited Google to see where my site, Redding search engine optimization or Redding SEO is in the search results and it's now at #12. So, let's see, I went live on that site Dec. 5th and I've written and submitted one article to an article directory. I've submitted the same article to a network of blogs as well. And I've been writing fresh content weekly.

The results are showing things are moving along very nicely. And, I am not working hard at it. This is very casual SEO for me. Mostly I'm not working that hard at it because I already have a list of clients waiting to work with me so I've got to do a lot of research and so forth. My main for Redding SEO online is to be listed on the first page at the top of the results. This will come soon enough. Most likely by the end of January I will be there. No rush. It will happen.

I'll give you a report on my other new site later.

Till then,

Redding SEO Birth of a New Site

Okay, just got back from checking in on my new site submission. One of my articles will not be reviewed for about a week - ARG. The other article should be live in about 3 days or so.

If you go to Google and type in my new site, reversemortgageproscons.com use the www. at the beginning, you will actually see this blog show up in the top of the listings. So, my blog is being visited by the GoogleBot often, if not daily, since I only just went live last night and posted the URL here.

My next site will be reddingsearchengineoptimization.com. Which is the same as Reddingseo.com but I have plans on toying with several domains that represent my business in Redding. For now I have two other sites I need to get online so I guess I need to get to work.

Until Tomorrow,

Submitting a Google Sitemap

Tonight I uploaded my new site, www.reversemortgageproscons.com Including adding the URL and site map to Google. In addition to this I've written an article specifically for that site and submitted it to a few article directories. This is one of the faster ways of getting listed in Google.

Today is Dec. 27th, and I uploaded my site at about 5:00 pm. I'll be checking daily to see when it appears in Google. My reddingseo.com site took 6 days. Although I neglected to check on the 5th day, but I'm happy with 6 days. However, I'm going to see if I can get this site in a little quicker using a few other techniques.

I'll keep you posted... You can also check yourself by doing a search for reverse mortgage pros cons in Google. That is if you catch this post before it's actually in Google. You have about 3 days to catch it unlisted. :P

See you soon,
