I’ve been largely fascinated by SEO (Search Engine Optimization) lately and am learning about it from various sources. I’ll be trying to toy around with this blog until I become a decent SEO guy. In fact, as of now, I don’t even know if it is possible to toy around with this blog using SEO. Let’s see. As of now this page comes sixth in Google. It’ll be nice if I can bring it onto second or third place.

P.S. As of now, Amazon ranks first in Google for these keywords. Hope to beat ‘em too! :D

UPDATE: I saw only now (2 mins after posting this article) that this blog ranks third. I’m clueless as to how. Any explanations?

  1. I learnt a lot of SEO related stuff from mistakes. You too, will :)

    Regarding the ranking of your blog, it varies – it might not be in the same position everywhere at any given time. I see it at #4 here. Some visitors may not see it on the first page at all.

    If you really want to rank better, get links. Gain trust. Atleast, that’s what I did in the past. Ranks improve as you gain links, and more importantly, in due course of time.

    Plus, I really love reading Matt’s Blog – mattcutts.com/blog/ You might want to check it out.

  2. one very simple explanation to ur featuring third…. the first time u dint c it properly…. ;)
