How I Managed to Land on Google’s Page 1 in 1 Week

Not kidding, I’m currently sitting on number one page of Google for my new local news niche blog the Yeppoon Chronicle. To do this I followed through with what I have learned since being online and mainly for the last 2 month from Blogger Unleashed, Vic Franqui’s blog about make money online.

I knew about the concept of using highly targeted keywords which will help with the ranking. The blog got indexed within 38 minutes and if you don’t believe me you are welcome to read my post on how I got a brand new blog indexed in 38 minutes.

The concept I used for this was all thanks to Vic and his unlimited pot of knowledge and to prove all nay sayers wrong, the proof is in the pudding as they say.

To get on the front page of Google was achieved by applying basic SEO rules when writing blog posts and descriptions. The one thing that will go against my carefully grafted blog is the domain name since it is brand new.

Because I hail from a very small place (to USA standards) of Australia, the chances of finding a pre-owned domain with my town’s name in it were next to none. A quick search on Tdnam quickly revealed that my initial thoughts were right.

So buying a new domain will eventually throw me into the sandbox which means I’ll disappear from Google for a while. The secret to staying there is getting enough incoming back links that will cement my position. But as some of us know, this process is a lengthy one which will take time.

Couple this with great SEO and you will have a winner.

If you know how, it really isn’t that hard to do. The hardest part of the whole equation is to stay at it until…

Until next time..
