Hi everyone,
just writing this because I've finally done it, I am a newbie and i've had my site for about 2 weeks, and today i finally got it in top spot on page 1 of google for my link words diy solar panels north wales and page 1 but not top for flintshire. I think I know how i've done it, and I have only spent about £35.00. So now I'm hoping it will earn some money. Its not doing bad with adsense but i'm hoping to sell some products now. If there are any more newbies out there who want to know what i've done, just send me a message with your email and i'll send to you what i've been up to, I won't charge for info,its free because i'm so pleased, and hopefully you can do the same.

  • this thread is in page 1 for the keyword as well, diy solar panels north wales...

    for a very simple reason, no competition for this keyword.

    • thats why theres 127,000 sites competing for it

      Also I cover North Wales for my products i sell offline, which are solar panels, and if i can get the diy people on my site and then they read about the feed in tariffs which we have in the UK they will hopefully want to buy a complete system which is about £12,000. Which is worth a lot more than the diy info. thats the reason my search listings are specific.

      And for newbies like myself, we havn't earned enough money yet to spend on big campaigns like the big guns. So being specific is the best way for us to get results.

  • QUESTION
    If you wanted to buy something say a new kitchen would you search the whole web or would you put kitchens and your location.

    • it depends on keywords, sometimes some keyword + location get lots of traffic but many are = 0 traffic....

      you can use the google keyword tool to determine this...look at the local search volume...

      if almost zero traffic...no use to rank...because unable to get traffic from search engine, better use other methods such as classified ads to get traffic.
  • Hey,

    Which one is your website? What is it called?


    Thanks

  • Hate to burst your bubble on this one. You're not in first place for your keyword, this thread is now #1 in Google.

    Otherwise not a bad start. But it's not really going to change anything if nobody is actually searching for your keyword.

    • they will if they live in north wales lol
  • i genuinely feel there is nothing to be happy about it. Still you can make sure your work is paying off. Its a very less competitive keyword though.

    • WELL DONE MATE

      While you may of made a few mistakes along the way but you are doing something that 90% of other people don't do and that is TAKING ACTION.

      Just take this as a positive learning experience and try again this time be sure to research your chosen Niche and use the Keyword tool to see that it has at least a decent monthly search volume and then do it all again.

      The key to getting to #1 of Google is finding a good niche that has little competition and build a good web page with all the usual SEO requirments and pretty much getting on Google #1 page is not difficult. (at least that is what i have found)

      Over the past month I have built and launched about 20 sites and at least 10 of them are on first page of google for specific products, others are on page 2 so need a bit more work and tweaking.

      The key now for you is to make money from it I believe I saw an ebook on click bank about DIY Solar Panels maybe that could be your first product. (not sure there is any Sun in Wales though

      Just dont give up and try again, its a learning process and the key to winning the race is keep going learning along the way.

      Good Luck

    • Now that everyone has had their chance to let the guy know why his website ranking for his keyword is worthless. Let me step in and tell everyone why they might, just might, be wrong. Yes, google adwords, remember google adwords shows no traffic for that phrase but remember google adwords is just that, it's for adwords, it's not exactly the perfect tool, there's no perfect search volume tool. Who knows, 1 person from that area might search that term this month and buy from his site. He could probably make at least $100 commission (wild guess) with a high end product such as that, and that 1 little $100 sales would put him in the top 25% of marketers IMHO. It's far fetch, but it's not like the keyword is something stupid like "dog walk rope shampoo animal" lol

      I say a #1 rank for a small possibility is better than not ranking for a keyword that could make millions, which is the situation that most people are in this very moment. Dallus, I'm not suggesting that you should continue your business in this fashion, the other warriors have valid points, but on the other hand your achievement defiantly beats a blank, you obviously did something right, just try it on a bigger scale next time.

  • Congrats on hitting #1. sounds like a good ad (especially for solar panels).
  • Great Job Dallus. BTW, don't get discouraged if you made couple of mistakes but keep trying out new techniques on your website. And if you see results you must keep doing what your doing and always improve upon it. With hard work and perseverance you will eventually hit the target.

  • Hey,

    Just as I was reading this post I decided to do a search of where my website was for the keyword and wow in 2 weeks I am number 1 for my keyword.

    Keyword: 2 Dollar Internet Marketing

    Never realized until now. But I guess like everyone said here, there's only some competition for that keyword.

    Recky.

  • Hey D - GREAT Work! Congrats on your effort.

    How did you get the rankings? Did you use a certain backlink strategy? Do you have an exact match domain?

    I'm new to certain aspects of IM as well so am curious at to how you did it.

    Thanks.

    • Cheers, I am
    • Cheers, I am.
      What i have done is, made sure my keywords, description and the content of my main page all match, and this seems to be working, and one of my other pages now has come onto first page as well, so i get 2 listings on first page of google.
      I'm not after loads of visitors, because my work is off line and i can only visit so many people a day, Want i need is about 500 - 1000 visitors and 4 of them leaving contact details, and that would be me sorted.
      The problem is they need to be local to me.
  • I would definitly like to know how you did that.

      Can you share some of your tips and tricks?

      Or maybe it's just the same thing... backlinks?

  • Good job! Don't listen to people telling you this was easy, it means you're beginning to understand ON YOUR OWN how this works. The best internet marketers succeed and fail on their own without listening to advice from other people. You have to fail after someone tells you not to do something to REALLY LEARN what they meant. And you've succeeded at something. Good job and keep up the good work!
  • Nice...do some testing with diff streams of revenue to see what works best...switch out colors..placement etc...
  • I would love to hear about your success ! I have had less luck, burned through about 400$ with google and facebook ppc. And have only generated about 20 leads. Maybe you could shed some light and point me in the right direction.
