Nine days from launch to page 1 of Google
People often times over-analyze SEO (Search Engine Optimization). I am here to tell you how easy it is to rank high in Google without any shady or blackhat methods. I launched this blog nine days ago on August 18. Today on August 27, I find I’m getting referrers for money from open source (you’ll notice personal web search is turned off in that url). In fact, I’m on page 1 for that term.
This is by no means a huge traffic term, nor is it anything that’s going to make me tons of money. But it does come back to my point: SEO is really easy. There are exactly two steps towards ranking high in the search engines:
- Perform ultra simplistic optimization on your pages. This means using semantic HTML and having relevant page titles.
- Make compelling content
It’s the second one that really matters. If you want to rank high in the search engines: make something worth while. Make something that people want to read/use/interact with and you will do fine. Quit trying to scam the system, and just do good for the web. It will come back to you tenfold.
