Google shows me some love

It looks like last week’s SEO has reaped its rewards! One of my sites is now showing at number five on Google UK for the three word phrase I’ve been targetting. I’m hoping that this will substantially increase the number of pageviews I’m getting without having to deepen my Adwords budget. The site in question is generating enough revenue at the moment to cover the advertising costs but it’s not exactly setting the world on fire so getting more free traffic will definitely do me good.
On a related note I’m experimenting with using SEO only to promote a very niche offshoot of one of my affiliate enterprises. I’m not going into details for obvious reasons but I’m trying a single landing page targetted at a specific three word phrase. The inspiration behind this is Stu Foster’s Niche Marketing Blog where he advocates “build[ing] websites that serve small segments of larger markets” - what is popularly known as “the long tail”.
Everything is set up and the site has been submitted to the search engines. Let’s see if my recent luck with Google continues and whether I end up owing Stu a pint for pointing me in this direction!
