#1 on Google - WOW

Guess this is going to be a brag post, but I gotta say I'm pretty proud of this and I think it's a hell of an accomplishment.

This weekend I found out that I rank #1 on Google for the Keyword String "Real Online Business"

What that means is that anytime someone types that in, my home site shows up #1 - There are 360 MILLION results for that search phrase - I'm not sure, but i'm guessing that means there is a LOT of competition for that keyword string.

I'm proud because to me, that is really what the entire intention of Affiliate Curve is about - To help beginners start a real online business. I am in affiliate marketing (I guess, maybe it's actually online marketing or network marketing), but still my site is about resources of what I use and how to get STARTED in online marketing -

So the keyword string Real Online Business is very fitting, and exactly what I would choose (if i had a choice lol)

First, let me say I've never really focused on SEO. I never accepted offers for reciprocal links to other people's websites. I never exchanged links - I didn't do a bunch of SEO research or pay anyone to optimize my website.

I do use Spin Success - I still recommend it 100% - The first 3 months I was on Spin Success my Alexa ranking went up 700k spots. Basically took me from absolutely unknown, to a spot in the top 500k websites online (although obviously it would be even better to be in the top 100k)

But a couple months there I changed URL's and submitted my GDI site, the Real Money from Home site, and even my Best Places to Bet Online website -

Now it's back to Affiliate Curve being submitted - and I'm sure it will climb the Alexa ranks a bit more once it's steadily submitted -

A year ago I was getting 40-60 hits daily to my website - These days I get a stead 80-120, and quite often get over 150. I've also hit the 200 mark several times.

It's not YouTube traffic, but for a complete newbie, I'd say that is a fairly decent amount of everyday traffic for my website. And that keyword, Real Online Business, accounts for nearly 50% of my traffic - So that means I'm getting ORGANIC search engine traffic -

The best kind of traffic possible - No timers - they aren't clicking for credits - they are looking for something...Now with that has come more and more emails from people saying "How do I make money online?" and "I don't have time or money, can you help me" -

I understand where they are coming from - hey, we all want that big button. But I don't have an answer for them. Everything I have achieved and the business that I built is ALL because of work. I offer my own reviews and advertising resources that work for me, but still, it takes work -

The only thing that's making money for me that DOESN'T take work is Ad-Ventures 4U - But it does take money :)

anyway, had to post that I hit #1 on Google for that keyword phrase - To me, it's pretty damn impressive. And I've never gone after that - I didn't design my site or try to "fill" the stuff with keywords. I just wrote what I knew and about my experiences...

to me, that's pretty damn cool -

And yeah, I'm gonna throw a link in here to Spin Success - Cause it really is that good :)

here is your link to SPin Success - Now go find other keywords to go after - Real Online Business is on LOCKDOWN :)

(Actually, i don't really want any competition - i need all the traffic i can get :)

have a good night -
