SEO Case Study – Can We Get A Google Page 1 Ranking – Part 2
Mar 31st, 2008 by admin
I started a case study on the blog last week called SEO Case Study click on the link to read it.
Basically my challenge is to take my friend’s new website to Page 1 of Google, currently it is sitting in obscurity! Obscurity equals a current ranking of 240!
Over the weekend I had him make a couple of small changes to the text of his homepage. These “on page” search engine optimisation changes should make a significant difference to his ranking opportunites.
I also made a few additions to his “Off Page” optimisation over the last couple of days …
I’m now waiting on Google to re-index his site, and then we’ll see how much of a difference our initial changes have made to his rankings!
If over the next few weeks we can get on to Page 1 for his preferred search term, I’ll share with you everything that we do to get there. Of course, if we fail to achieve a Page 1 ranking I won’t bother telling you what we did because you won’t be interested!
I’m confident we can do it … my only unknown is the Google Sandbox effect, whereby Google take new sites out of their index until they’re happy that the sites are legitimate … this can be a few weeks to many months … nobody is sure how the decision to re-index is made …
As soon as the site has been re-indexed, I’ll let you know if our initial changes moved it at all up the rankings!
To take a look at the site in question, take a look at French Holidays Aude.
