Out of the sandbox

[Nickie]

Yes, I think it was about 6 months ( or so) ago that I saw a big change in the way Yahoo rated my P2 site.

But a recent check showed that my site was virtually gone for the main keywords we were targeting, but I was #1 across the board for what I guess you could call, my secondary (or third) keywords. In fact they are keywords I never bothered to check on but I saw that I was getting hits on those keywords and decided to check it out.

As a result, we're considering re-writing some of the text due to the success of those keywords. Might as well celebrate that success and use it as guidance as to the direction of the site.

I just dropped from 7 or 8 to 11 (i.e. off the front page), is there any conclusive advice on what will push you up or drop you once you are out of the sandbox?

My REW site http://www.eHuntsvilleHomes.com seems to be done playing in the sand also, Huntsville MLS and 4 or 5 other keywords on page 1 or 2. Site went live 6 months ago.

So far, REW GuruMaster Morgan and company have been right on target with SEO projections. We will see if I can further crack G in 3 more months.

Uh oh did I make some predictions - Google will be 3-6 more months depending on your competition (Assuming things stay the same at G) <<<< Another prediction
