  The day came, sooner than I expected I have to admit, werebu.com got into top 1000 at Google for a key phrase “ marketing blog ”. When I started my   marketing blog challenge   I never hoped that I could get into top 1000 so fast. Ok, it is not that fast and it is not that incredible but you have to realize that I didn’t buy any links; I didn’t pay for my content. Everything here is the product of my work so getting into top 1000 really means something to me. To be precise my blog is at position 744. I have only checked one data center since it is very time consuming to go through all 1000 results manually. If you enter “ marketing blog challenge ” at Google you will see that my marketing blog is at position number seven which is good but not good enough for me. I still believe that I deserve to be on position number one. I have mentioned links earlier; I believe that it is possible to make a good rank without buying links so I’m not going to buy any unless I make money...

  I was checking Google again today and I have noticed that my marketing blog went from position number seven for a key phrase “ marketing blog challenge ” to position number three which is more acceptable if you ask me. Still, I’m not number one. What is more important is that I moved rapidly to position number 380 for a key phrase “ marketing blog ”. This fact made me very happy today. Here is the   screen shot   to prove it. Webinknow.com was the first site I compared my blog with and to be honest, if David hadn’t written any posts named “ Marketing blog challenge ” I would have beaten him already. His website is currently at the position number 192 for a key phrase “ marketing blog ”. When I first did a seo analysis of his site I thought it would be easy to get into top 1000 and that it would be easy to beat him. Because webinknow was at the position number 551 back then I believe that I have already beaten David. But to keep things fair I will continue working on my ...

  Well my rankings are moving too fast so I need to write every 12 hours to keep up with this situation. Not that I’m complaining about that   I think that this is the real thing now since my  marketing blog  reached a position 176. Since the key phrase “ marketing blog ” returns between 150,000,000 and 221,000,000 results I believe that my current rankings are pretty good. One thing that worries me are the supplemental results. Many of my pages return supplemental results and I really need to deal with this… Any suggestions are welcome. I think that more “quality” links will do the trick together with some on site changes. To keep things fair here is another  screen shot . So the marketing blog challenge continues. I have to find a new competitor whose site I’m going to analyze but I’m not going to do that until I get some stable rankings. That means that all of you who are reading this blog will have to wait a day or two for Google to put me somewhere they thi...

  I just wanted to inform you that my   marketing bog challenge   is now getting really serious. I one week went from being nowhere to near top 100. Right now my   marketing blog   holds positions between 121 and 130 at Google for a key phrase “ marketing blog ” while it is number 2 or three if you enter “ marketing blog challenge “. I will give  Google  some time to decide where should I rank since my positions change day after day and I’m constantly getting better rankings at  SERPs . I hope that this trend will continue and that my  marketing blog challenge  will be a success. Wish me luck until my next update. Thanks

  I was doing a little bit of back link checking and I found out that a couple of sites linked to some of my articles which made me pretty happy. Since werebu is still in development it would be foolish of me to think that it is going to rank high for “bigger” keywords but it is doing fine in Google right now, it has been indexed and reindexed. I’m not surprised by that because googlebot visits werebu couple of times per day but indexing isn’t happening that fast. Reindex occurred couple of days before the first indexing so my conclusion is that you need to be patient with seo. That is the truth actually, seo is a long term game and you don’t get to see results fast. I guess that people who do seo for money are well paid because these days they are the only ones who have enough patience to wait for results to happen and then tweak a site which will of course bring even more waiting hours, days and weeks. That is it for today, thank you for your time.

  Today I was thinking about my blog and I realized that advertising new directories every day is not good as I thought it would be so I’m not going to do that. Those who got listed will stay where they are but they are the only ones. I figured that it would be better to announce a couple of hundred directories but only when I submit my   marketing blog   to all of them. I know that new directory owners will hate me because of this, sorry guys. As you can see I have added a little horizontal menu right under my header. I know it is ugly right now but since I’m at work and I don’t have time to make it better it will stay like that at least for a day. While browsing this marketing blog I’ve noticed that I don’t have a “Home” link so there it is first one in my new menu. I’ve added sections like “Tools” where you will find marketing and seo tools that I use, “Services” where you will find services that I offer (this will be empty for a month or two), “Links” where you can fi...
