Google page 1 – Fort wayne website design!

Posted by Eric on November 2, 2008  |   No Comments »

OK, if you have been reading my posts at all, I have finally cracked into page number 1 on Google!

My keyword / search phrase is “Fort Wayne Website Design”.  And my current results are:

Google: #7
MSN: #1
Yahoo: #1

 So, that seems like a pretty good results.  I’ll be watching my blog stats (I’m using both Google analytics and WP-Stats) to see if this means any more traffic.

Questions and issues that remain to be solved:

1.  Why don’t I appear in the top 10 LOCAL results in Google?
2.  Why do I appear #1 in Yahoo and MSN, but only #7 in Google – I need Google to be Top 5
3.  Is this a good search term?  Should I optimize for something better?  Should I “ADD” another option – i.e. try to stay #1 on the current term (“Fort Wayne Website Design”), but add another term?

So, I’ll be watching, reading data, and asking questions over the next month to see what the answers are.  Keep reading, I’ll have answers in the future.

Web Analytics and Innovation

I just read a great blog post over at Occam’s Razor – the blog by Avinash Kaushik – analytics evangelist for Google.

The post goes on about the three kinds of innovation: incremental, incremental with side effects, and transformational.  

It’s a great read.  Check it out:

As some of you know, about two weeks ago, I was out in San Francisco, CA for the 2008 JMP Innovator’s Conference.  While their, we had the chance to sit down and talk with Avinash Kaushik – Analytics Evangelist (what a cool title) for Google.  

I’m working on the video right now.  But, here’s a short sample with a bunch of great, great thoughts.  Enjoy!

SEO and Analytics and Avinash

I’ve been reading a book by Avinash Kaushik called Web Analytics An Hour A Day (website / blog link) lately.  

I am also thrilled about being able to work with The TQM Network (website) to do a video interview with Avinash.  As you might know, The TQM Network is in the business of helping companies and individuals share best practices, ideas, insights, and more in order to grow together.

Together, we are doing a video interview with Avinash and would love to have input from all of you about what we should ask him.  Simply click on the contact us tab and give me your thoughts.
