Hard Work Really Does Pay Off, I’m on Page 2!

Just 4 months of blogging with 2 months of SEO, I’m finally near my goal. My blog is sitting under page 2 of Google.com results with the keyword “make money online� just beside 2 net legends! Check out the screenshot:

And when I checked on google.com.ph (My country ) I ranked no. 8 on the first page! Wow, my hardwork really does pay off.

Anyway, if you haven’t noticed, John Chow’s blog ranked down to no. 38 with the same keyword. So is this a new algorithm? Or just John Chow bombing Google?

Errr… Google bomb?

If you still don’t know. Google ranks sites higher if there’s an anchor text used. For example, 30 sites links to you with an anchor text of “Handsome� Chances are, Google will should rank you higher for that keyword.

Of course, if you abuse this, Google will flag you. You know what happens when Google flags a site So it’s really handy to vary your anchor text, so Google won’t flag you and hey, you might as well rank high on those “other� anchor texts! More explanations via Wikipedia.

Wish me luck! And maybe a link too

Update: I can’t find my blog now on page 2, I think Google is dancing today. anyway, better luck next time
