Congrats, the competetive keywords does take a while to see benefits and many people simply give up because they don't see any results, but sticking with it is what counts

Wow this is great. I have a blog all about affiliate marketing training and I am ranking high for some targeted keywords after about 10 months. However, I have an seo company also where i rank client's websites for targeted keywords and I am seeing faster results by focusing on a white hat seo campaign. No rank 1 results, but I have quite a few page one and two results in less than a month.

Another example that you shouldn't give up. I'm in similar situation, my website is nowhere in Google, although most of my main competitors' (who are on page 1) sites suck big time. I keep adding content to my site and build links and hopefully it will pay out one day. I guess site age is still a major factor in Google's eyes since3 of my competitors are on page 1 without updating their sites for over a year.

I finally did it! After 13-14 months of hard work I finally got to the 1st page of Google for one of the most competitive keyword in my niche (ways to make money online). I watched my blog go from nowhere to be found on Google's top 1000 serps to 600, 450, 400, 300,....46, 18, 11, 13 and now finally #9.

I was sitting on page 2 (#11) for a few months, and whatever I did, I couldn't get it to the first page. I have been doing lots of link building lately and it finally paid off.

I really do owe it to the help of people on this and other forums. Last year I had no idea what SEO stood for. Never in a million years have I thought, I was gonna have my blog in Google's 1st page for a money making related keyword. I though that was impossible. I really did! But with the help of people on this and other forums I now managed to rank #9 for one of the most competitive keywords in my niche (and perhaps on the internet). Thank you all for helping me and others like me.

I know #9 is not much different than page 2, but for me, its a big deal and it gives me some hope and confidence to keep doing what I have been doing so far. Article submission, blog commenting, creating fresh content, forum posting, social bookmarking and any other method that we all know and should use.

I am going to keep working on it until I get it to the first 3 spots. I knwo it will be very hard. Its much easier to get from page 1000 to page 2 and 1, than getting from number 9 to number 8 and under.
But, I am going to keep doing what I have learned from people on this and other forums.

I am not posting this to brag about it of course it makes me happy, but I really wanted to post it here in hopes of giving other people a little motivation. Because I know that for me, I was ready to quit many many times, then I would read a post here from a member who had succeed and it would give enough fuel to keep going for a bit more. So, I am hoping it would give motivation to a people who are like me new and with not much experience. If you pt enough time and effort into it, you can do it. Thank you.
