On the front of Google SERPs
choosing your niche and targeting key phrases
Things to be pleased about: I’m on the front of the Google SERP’s for one keyword and my chosen phrase.
As a site launching into a crowded market I thought I’d give some new comers and those interested, an idea of how well I’m doing.
OK guys i launched on the 13th September, I had no friends or other sites to get backlinks from and taking on world in a crammed seo “niche”.
A run through:
I started off just trying to submit to a few general web directories, and made a comment or two on other peoples blogs, along with setting up accounts on the usual social bookmarking sites but then not really using them, I have since been using stumbleUpon and got good percentage of my traffic from there.
Things were slow at first, only having one page indexed in google about 1 day after launching, and another a couple days later. The one site that was indexed was the one I had linked to from indexed and active related site http://joeldrapper.com - making use of his dofollow comments, thanks Joel : )
Within 10 days I have had all my pages indexed eon Google.
I am ranked number one for the keyword “seogoogletips” - no surprise there, and I’m probably the only one searching for it.
Ranked sixth for the search phrase “seo google tips” with an average of 390 searches for the term a month, according to google keywords tool … not totally accurate, but a rough guide, so we can assume more than just me searches for this term.

Ranked fourth for the search phrase “SEO GOOGLE TIPS” and “SEO Google Tips”. Yes sites rank differently in Google based on character case, this is probably due to my backlinks being mostly anchored with “SEO Google Tips”.

Some key things to note,
I have started off targeting a key phrase with far less competition than other SEO related phrases.
So my viewer statistics, for all to see:

Ok they’re not massive, but that really doesn’t bother me right now, why? I don’t have much on my site, and other than a couple posts and submissions, have not started promoting my site or building backlinks. How am I gonna do that and what results will I get? I`ll be posting how and around some other subjects related to this post so stay tuned!
