First Page In Google

A little while ago I wrote a post telling you about on page Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and the the two most important items were the Title tag and the Domain name.
Well, I just took a look in Google to see if this blog was being indexed yet and I searched the phrase Starting Steps. Guess what, it is on the first page of Google out of 5,000,000 + pages that turn up for that term. Which isn’t bad at all. But that is just the beginning try searching for, making money starting steps and internet marketing starting steps. I was pleasantly surprised at the results.
The one that surprised me the most was internet marketing starting steps. I had 4 of the top 10 places and one of them doesn’t even have any content on it.

But it’s not just Google check out these from MSN Live Search
This is all from the title tag and the domain name. Like I said the last one for coaching in the Google results doesn’t even have any content on it.
What does all this mean?
It means that if you are planning to get a majority of your traffic from search engines you should work the keywords into your domain name or create another domain with your keywords that can be used to drive the traffic to your site.
Oh, by the way check the page rank of this site. It is 0 That’s right a big fat zero, nothing, nada!
That is right, I got these placements without any page rank. Remember that when they tell you that on page optimization doesn’t matter that all you need are back links. I will undoubtedly be writing more about page rank in the near future.

Thanks for sharing this info. I’ve found it is possible to get to page 1 in less than 24 hours using these strategies. I’ve also used a Scribd doc and leveraged their indexing. Is it necessary to have a site that’s already listed linking to the new site to get indexed by Google?

It is the fastest and easiest way to get indexed. I never submit a site directly to Google, MSN or Yahoo! anymore and I haven’t in years.
But it isn’t necessary to have a link from an already indexed site to get indexed.
For those of you looking to get indexed Wizzer had a great post a while back on the Scribd technique he mentioned above. I highly recommend you read it.

For those of us who have been wondering whether we should purchase a domain for each of our products, this pretty much provides the answer. $10 more or less is a small price to pay for the possibility of free traffic from Google by getting on their first page for your keywords.
/Great blog, Randy.
