Marketing blog challenge – week 6

 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 with my blog. If that happens any time soon I will surely reinvest the money so that I could get better rankings and one day finish my marketing blog challenge at the position number one.

That is it for this week. Thank you for your time and thanks to all good people who link to me.

Marketing blog – monthly review

  Instead of doing my usual   marketing blog challenge   weekly update I have decided to review my first month with my marketing blog and analyze what was good and what wasn’t. So here we go. During my first month I had 797 unique visitors, that means 25 unique visitors per day which is kind of frustrating. The number is steady and it doesn’t grow but I’m confident that it will one day. I still haven’t used any ads and I won’t until I get a bigger number of uniques. There were a couple of good things that made January very fun month for me. First of them were the comments from David Temple and David Meerman Scott. They really gave a motivation to continue working on my  marketing blog . Others have gave their contribution with comments and I want to thank all of you guys and gals. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I’ve managed to verify my paypal account with a debit visa card and now I’m very happy because I can finally buy things I always wanted. First of the things that I...

Another marketing blog challenge update

  Today I have checked position www.webinknow.com for the term   marketing blog   and David has moved down the to position number 443. I guess that has something to do with the fact that his post about my marketing blog challenge has moved down in his content. I don’t believe that more than 200 of our competitors have worked on their content and links to move David so many places down in SERPS. So today’s conclusion is that position of the content (maybe it is better to say position of keywords) definitely influences your position for high competitive terms and marketing blog sure falls under this category. Of course my  marketing blog  is nowhere near top 1000 but I’m working on it. I’ve decided to let it get older so that people link to me without me telling them to do so. I only hope that this will be the case in the next 6 months. I’m going to update my “Tools” section today so no more talk. Thank you for your time.

Marketing blog problem

Last few days I have a problem with writing content. I just can’t seem to find any good subjects to write about. Maybe it is the lack of free time that prevents me from writing or maybe I’m just too lazy these days, I’m not sure. If you think about it, writing about one single topic can be really hard. In my case writing only about blog marketing is really hard. I know that I write about marketing in general and search engine marketing, not only blog marketing but these subjects are related so I think about them as one. Optimizing your content for certain keywords (marketing blog in my case) is another thing that keeps you away from writing because you get the feeling that everything you write looks like something you have written before… I hope that I will find something good to write about tomorrow. Thank you for your time. p.s. I’m still mad at Google for not being number one for the term marketing blog challenge but at least I got from page three (21-30) to page two and now I’m at ...
