At first i was only targetting the keyword “SEO Blog” somewhere along the line i got greedy and i wanted to target my homepage for Blogging Tips, Make Money Online and Freelancing Tips as well - This goes against my siteplan for this blog to begin with but then i started thinking what if.
What if i can rank well for all 3 keywords and still keep the site relevant, as far as i know if i do all 3 there will be a fair bit of irrelevant content on the site for some visitors, my rankings at the moment are:
This one really took the piss out of me..
This one was fairly easiy ;p
I started targeting “make money online” last night so yep it still counts
This one was easier then i thought
Since my blog is technically a pr6 and i have a butt load of authority for most serps i can easily get into the top 20s or 30s but the top 10 spot is what im most interested in!
Here are a few of my aims to keep in mind while targeting multiple keywords for your home page.
Make sure every keyword you are aiming for has a link to the category page or post page, with relevant content
Links from relevant sites
In-content links (link love/mentions)
Alot of on-site seo - Meta tags/Titles/Descriptions and even 301s
Must have sufficient support from social networks for each keyword (diggs..stumbles..etc)
Unique and creative content - your content must be above average if you are trying to rank for something big
Thats all i have for now, subscribeto me for more updates as i get them!
I guess if people make a big enough stink, Google will listen. It is apparent with Google’s recent announcement that they are listening to disgruntled webmasters who don’t like the changes that were recently made to the Adsense referral program. They have listened to the feedback received and decided to make an amendment to the original pay structure to be dependent on where your referral comes from and not where you are located at. I’m sure it had something to do with Gnet’s post about Adsense Referral Units, when Gnet talks Google listens.
This means that you can still live in any country and make decent money referring those who live in North America, Latin America and Japan.
This gives webmaster a reason to keep targeting quality traffic and to be able to get quality users to refer to Google.
It makes sense for Google to structure it this way instead of cutting you out of the money altogether if you live outside those certain areas, after all it’s the new referrals that mean the most to Google no matter where you are referring them from.
It’s nice to know that Google is listening to it’s publishers and referrers to the program.
They also mentioned that it has been reported many users don’t have any Adsense referrals showing in their stats. Google reports this is just a display problem and that it will be fixed as soon as they can get it done but your earnings are still there adding up, they just aren’t displaying.
You can read about it for yourself at the Google Adsense Blog to find out in more detail what changes have been made to the recent announcement made by Google.
I posted earlier about Pagerank being updated and it did, i checked my own blog over and over again but the pr never got updated this pissed me off alot i mean c’mon who wouldn’t be pissed off when you don’t get results for 40 hours of seo?!
Anyway i thought why not go to seomoz and see what my pagestrength status is and it turns out according to SEOMOZ blueverse is a PR6 ( a ps of 5.5 means pr6 ).
Ant not only that look at my techno status its twice the amount it was the last time i had a pr update..
And my page rank still remains…yep 4!
Ah well, im keeping my fingers crossed and gonna keep on building on this blog.
