Hello all, I have a site and was on the 5th page for a pretty nice keyword.. For about 2 months or so I have been trying really hard to get on the first page, and have touched the first page like twice, but stay on the 2nd page towards the top! How much struggle have you guys had on making the big jump from 2nd page to 1st page on a big keyword? Anything anyone could tell me to get my site to the 1st page that helped them get there? _Zack
I just keep building and building, its difficult but rewarded. I jut keep getting links with the keyword I am after as the anchor text and point to my site. I managed to rank 1st page for game servers doing that and that pulls quite a bit. Whats your keyword?
Just continue on your link building and get quality links using your targeted keywords as anchor text.
I spent half year in trying to push my keywords in the first page, but without success! And I'm keep working!
Yes, this I know.. I am asking how long and with what success people have had with the time, trouble, and struggle of getting ranked on the first page and what words with. I am only on 3 months or so for a pretty big keyword.. I have touched the #1 spot on the 2nd page.. and other then that not really any luck to gettting on the first page... I will try even harder this summer when I have more time on my hands... Regards, Zack
Are you trying to get to the front page for any keywords or just one specific keyword? If your keyword tag is good, it may not be that tag that is causing your site to remain on page two.
I am working for one key phrase .. two words. Yesterday I was on the internet on my pda/smartphone and saw that I was on the first page for it.. Then turned my comp on and it was #1 spot on the second page.. :-( I think its a matter of time. Google wants to put me on the first page... I know they do! _Zack
Hehe, good luck. Frustrating as hell to try to push your page up the SERPS, but oh so nice when you finally make it!
It took around 2 mths for me to hit the first page and basically its a lot of link building word. It definitely pays off though if the keyword brings a lot of traffic Good luck with your efforts, nkiegrea!
it all depends on how competitive your keyword is. To find out about that, you would have to know more than how many web pages exist with your keyword. Any keyword with "free" would get you tons of web page results, but not all are SEOing. Furthermore, if the top 20 competitors are SEOing heavily, you may not have a chance to get in top 10. It doesn't matter what the rest of websites may be doing. So you can get top 30 easily but that's all you can then. Here is a tool for researching top 10 with any keyword
I actually finally made it to the first page a couple of days ago! Its been there for like 2 or 3 days now.. And its pretty exciting! _Zack
