We did it. #1.

  1. #1
    We've finally done it. Beating out some serious competition from our competitors, we've ranked #1 in Google for one of our primary terms.

    The "we" is RolePlayGateway Role Playing Games, an online gaming site with roleplaying forums and chat.

    Our keyword was role playing forums, a middle-level term with a decent amount of traffic. We beat out some of our competitors, RPG.net and Gaia Online, but by how much - I don't know.

    Our main method of SEO has been directory submissions, social bookmarking, and forum/blog posts and comments.

    A round of drinks to all! Cheers!

    Congratulations. Let us know how that will effect your traffic (doesn't sound like a very competitive phrase, even tho it is roleplay forums not role play forums which has 45,800,000 competitors)

    Congrats!

    I see you only have 5 links in Google. Nicely done my friend!

    How long did this take you?
    Did you buy any of your backlinks or are they all free?

    best regards,

    It doesn't appear to be that competitive of a keyword, but nice job anyways.

    Search for "role playing forums" Result: 45.500.000
    you have position 3 after gaiaonline and rpgforumsonline

    Search for "roleplaying forums" Result: 2.330.000
    you have position 1

    Your target was for 2 or 3 keys?

    Nice job anyway!
