Search Marketing & SEO: Diary Of An SEO Campaign

The continuing saga of a site known only as The Site, launched on 8-1-06, as it tries to reach the top 3 slots of Google for its key search term.

Day 191

The Site enjoys continuing success from my SEO efforts. Today it sits on the top of page 4 of Yahoo! results, and top of page 6 on Google. It has even flirted with page 3 of Yahoo! on recent days.

The site is now getting about 1300 unique visitors per day, from the search term tail, with a page view per visitor of around 7.0. It's important to remember that the search term we are going for here is very competitive. The top site for this term pulls about 60,000 visitors a day. It might not be MySpace, but it ain't chicken feed.

How are we doing it? For starters, it's pure white hat. I work at creating the best possible site for the target audience. Most of what works, in online marketing terms, flows from that premise.
