Finally a Good Day (msn crawl)

So up until the 26th I was getting around 50 uniques to my site a day, through links, webrings, forums and a few searches. I go to check MSN today and they've indexed 151 pages on my site, up from 71. I was ecstatic. I check a keyword I've been working on getting first in and I've moved from third to second (MSN). I'm floored, then I start checking other niches and I'm ranked first for four of them. I try my main keyword "Guns N' Roses" and I'm ranked 41st.

I was floored, given its 41st I'm not getting any visitors from it but still, before I wasn't even listed. I thank all the people that have helped me get motivated on here. Its so nice to see two months of work finally justify itself. It was really hard to keep working on SEO when I couldn't even see my site in the SERPs.

I didn't get many clicks today but I'm still beaming. Just wanted to thank everyone and if anyone needs help with SEO just ask, I'm by no means a master but with only two relevant backlinks (one PR4) I was happy.

To this point seeing my site ranked first for many of my keywords was just as good if not better than my first click. Traffic today was over 200 uniques up from 50-60 the day before. Not much, but it made my day. Now I got to work on Google and Yahoo.

 

Congrats James, now aim for the eye of the tiger, you know what i mean, yeah the Big G

 

I want to take on the big G and I'm gonna, but I'm not where near the top 100 for any of my keywords on there, its like a different planet all together. Either way I'm still happy, and I'm going for it.

 

Best of luck, mate.

 

James,

I really like how you have your site laid out. The AdSense on the left side blends right in with your other navigation tables. Great job!

 

that's ncie to hear, james. =) hope the money grows with your ranking too.

 

Thanks Shauner, now if the visitors would only click it I'd be in Heaven, I have to do more experimenting with add placement and all. Also, hows the alive web directory project going, I have to submit to that. Its already up to PR4 which is impressive for its age. Looks like your starting to get a decent repotoire of sites too.

I hope it does too devin09!!!

If only I wasn't in the middle of exam week at school I could devote a lot more time, but until adsense is making 200 a day it takes back seat to my studies.

 

I agree. Nice layout and congrats on your SE results.
