There are a lot more that have ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd page of course but this is one of the more generic and generalized. Yeh.

Analyzing Google

Huh, I typed in my name into google and the first thing that comes up now is my blog for EP Saddlery to create friendly links. It used to be my myspace page, but about two weeks ago I turned all text and backgrounds to white, and then changed the opacity of the images to .01 in order to create a blank page. Now the page is nowhere to be found, hmm. I'm guessing google uses an indexer that some how only reads visible text in order to avoid spamming. Now I know what not to do, but what about my website. I submitted the URL to various search engines about 3 weeks ago, but that's also not in the top 30. I guess I'll have to wait the recommended 2-6 weeks.

Search Engine Optimization Blog

I started this blog specifically for the purpose of documenting my career as a search engine optimization marketer. This blog will also serve the purpose of posting helpful links to the client's sites that I am optimizing. One of the first things that I have learned I need to do in order to be an affective SEO is learning to be a voracious researcher, as well as copy writer. So this blog will help me to do just that, research and copy write.

My first official client is El Paso Saddlery.
They offer the finest in Leather Holsters, and are just all around great guys. You can check out there site (which I helped develope) at: http://www.epsaddlery.com.
