SEO Troubles...Listen to This
- SEO |
Have you ever worked you a** off to set up a blog or site? Optimize for a specific keyword. All that and not get indexed as high as you wanted.
Here's what happened to me.
I recently got the new Fallout 3 game on PC. I loved Fallout 2 and really got into fallout 3. The only problem I had was that there where no complete fallout 3 map available. I searched everywhere on the net, but could find one.
Being a problem solver, I took it upon my self to make one. So I took screen shot of the ingame PIP map and stitched them together using mspaint. The final product was nothing great but it was the most complete map for Fallout 3.
To make sure that gamers would be able to find it easily, I created a blogger blog optimized for the keyword "complete fallout 3 map". I dropped a couple messages in fallout 3 blogs and index the blog on bookmarking sites.
Since this was a low competition keyword, I knew I would get indexed on the first page within 48 hrs. Sure enough, 48 hrs later I was indexed on the first page. As I had expected, the Big Wigs were at the top...
But what I hadn't expected was that I indexed at #10. You have to understand that this method has given me #4 to #6 position consistently. I could make sense of it...
What got me the most was that ranked at #4 was the tag for fallout 3 map of wordpress, but there where no blogs there.
****LIGHTBULB****
I jumped on it and created a wordpress blog and posted the map with the tags fallout 3 map. Added an rss widget for my blogger blog and linked back to it too.
I was instantly listed at #4...AWESOME. So was the traffic jump.
What's the lessons in this story?
Always be on the look-out for golden nuggets! When you see the opportunity, jump on it.
PS. I just did the search for "fallout 3 map" and as of the date of writing this, I am listed at #1 ON GOOGLE...WOOHOO!!!
