Is this good for a beginner -- I'm just 15

    I have a site that I began to optimize for search engines a few months ago... and I gave up after a month. Today, I checked my stats and found a that it was actually doing very well, even on Google!

    For the primary search phrase, I am in position 17 among 75,400,000 results; according to Overture, this phrase has 1,015.2 (searches)/day. I think I am not in the top ten because my competition includes: AOL Music, iTunes and other well established sites (like MP3.com, Amazon, Napster, etc.)

    Right now, I am in the #2 postion on MSN, #8 and #7 (subdomain) on Yahoo and #15 on Google.

    Is this good SEO for a beginner (after all, I'm only 15 years old :rolleyes: )

    Any suggestions and comments would be appreciated :D

    Cheers!

    I bloody wish I got into this game when I was 15, I would be retired by now.

    Your doing pretty good for a beginner so keep at it and best of luck for the future.

    Yeah your doing good. I hope i started SEO by 15. But i was more into hardware and fixing people stuff for a low pay. If i started this a long time, i would have a site that could generate a big income now.

    I agree. I wish I had been able to start at 15 too. What is the keyword you are competing with them on?

    You are off to a great start...probably better than most of us here. :)

    How many visitors per day do you get?

    I'd say you're off to a great start, as well. And, based on your writing skills at 15, I'd also say you have a bright future in content creation. :)

    Yeah, the rankings are good but .. I am 13 and anyone of any age can do it if they put a lot of effort in.

    Although, you've done well and I wish you the best of luck in the future with your site.
