I know its a dumb post, but I am happy and wanted to tell people who would understand

Just got done checking my stats from godaddy and noticed someone found my brand new month old debate forum using the search term "debate community" I was sure they must have spent hours looking through hundreds of pages before they found mine, but I wanted to check... low and behold there I was, listed as #10 of 131,000,000 for the search term "Debate Community"

Not a major feat I know, but this is my first time ever being listed for anything other than my url and exact site name I guess SEO really does work.

Thanks for reading and sorry for wasting your time, but I needed to get it out.

 

Of course SEO works. Congratz!

 

Good work done there.

Care to share the secrets with all of us here

 

Thanks for "good jobs" and such. No real secret, just followed stuff I found for free online, ie. making the text keyword rich without over doing it and using the meta tags. I am now only worried I may become addicted to SEO. I mean I always knew it worked... but I figured it would take a lot of time to make it to #10 of 131 Million.

 

Bit of an update, just noticed I was #10 of 131,000,000 yesterday, as of today I am #1 of 130,000,000 !!!!

 

So many people search for debate community then?

 

Can you give me some tips as what exactly you did?

 

It's not a dumb post, and congratz for ranking out of 131,000,000

 

Just followed the rules. Made my homepage keyword rich without over doing it and added good meta tags.

 

great job!!i would be proud

 

Congrations mate,keep up your good work

 

Good job and hopefully you will be coming up with an ebook about the method you used to get good rank JK

Keep it up mate

 

I see your site [SIZE=-1]verbalbattle.com Ranks #1 for the term debate community

not number 10

so it's much better

but I hope you keep that rank because usually search engines give new sites the chance to rank up few days until they prove they deserver that rank
