How Ironic?

Someone did a search for "myspace consultant" and a link to this blog showed up on page 2 of Google's search engine results. I haven't checked to see where my The MySpace Consultant Blog showed up in the search engine results for this term because this blog showed up first so I still have to go on down the list of search engine results to see where my MySpace Consultant Blog shows up in the search engine results.

I should also point out that this blog showed up on page 2 of Google's search engine results OUT OF 2.9 MILLION SITES that Google has listed! For a blog that is just a month old that is not bad!

This also proves that you don't have to have a site that has been online for years to show up high in the search engine results. The same thing holds true for your traffic. This blog is fairly new and as you can see from the counter the traffic is starting out low but still it appears high in Google's search engine rankings! (Which can do nothing but help INCREASE the traffic to this blog.

The MySpace Consultant - SEO Status

If you are following my progress as I continue to work on keeping my Adsense Consultant blog on page 1 of the search engines then you may be interested in following my progress as I work to get one of my newest blogs, The MySpace Consultant blog on page one of the search engines.

Like I mentioned above the The MySpace Consultant blog is my newest blog so it will be interesting to see how long it will take before it appears on page 1 of the search engines including Google (of course), Yahoo and MSN.

Someone did a search for "myspace consultant" and I decided to take a look to see where my blog appears on Google's search engine. So far I can't see it at all so that is something that I am going to work on. However there is a link to my MySpace Page that appears on page 1 of Google's search engine results (out of 2.4 million other sites out there!) when someone types in the term "myspace consultant" so I am on page one - even if it is indirectly!

It will be interesting to see how long it takes before my newest blog shows up in the search engines.

Update! - As of January 2nd, 2008, a link to my The MySpace Consultant Blog is currently the 2nd link on page one of Google's search engine results for the term myspace consultants

"How Can I Get My Site To Show Up In The Search Engines?"

You first have to decide what keywords you want associated with your site. Then check and see where you site comes up on the search engines. If you don't like where your site ranks (or worse yet your site doesn't show up at all) then you are going to have to work on incorporating those search terms within your site.

You can read about my continued efforts to keep my (and my clients) site(s) on page one of Google's (and other search engines) search engine results by clicking the link below:

My Quest To Be On Page One Of Google's (and other) Search Engine Results

Now you can "manually" add your site's url to the search engines but they themselves will tell you that it may take them a few months to "get" to your site.

You could also pay the search engines to be placed at the top of the search engine results.

You could do the work (that I mentioned above) to be placed in the search results. "Doing the work" involves incorporating the search terms that you have chosen into the content of your site.

Now there have been various different pieces of advice about different ways to get indexed in the search engines. Seems everybody has different pieces of advice as to exactly how to do it.

There have been people who have managed to get their sites indexed in 4 days!

I made one post to one of my blogs and got indexed in Google within 24 hours!

So there are lots of different things that you can do!

Why I Started This Blog

I started this blog because there are so many people out there asking questions about how they can get their sites into the search engines. This tactic is known as search engine optimization - SEO for short.

Why are people concerned with getting their sites listed in the search engine results? The answer is simple - to get more traffic! More traffic means more visitors to one's site. The more visitors to one's site the more popular the site becomes.

Here is a link to one of my other blog posts about how I am continuing my quest (and my clients) to stay on page one of Google's (and other) search engine results.

If you are selling a product or a service then the more people that visit your site, the more people that are likely to purchase your product or services.

So you want as many visitors to your site as possible!

And the more higher your site ranks in the search engines, the more people will visit your site!
