Hey guys, two posts ago I was telling you that I think I discovered something about getting search engine traffic and would try it up the post after (last post). So If last post seemed a bit strange because I talked about blogging tips that most of you already know, well I have to say that I didin't write it for my current readers or subscribers!

Nope, I wrote it for people that would be searching for certain keywords on search engines. So how did it go? Well my results of the last post were so-so I can say. I initially wanted to rank in the top 10 for a keyword that is searched more than a thousand times a month in search engines but for some reason I ranked at number 63 in the google search engine and with better results in the Yahoo search engine but still far away from that top 10.

But I can call it a semi-success though right? At least I did get featured in the search engines and it was my first real attempt. So I am going to continue this interesting experiment that already produced somehwhat results. Although that I doubt that I well get more than 5 unique visitors a month from that position in the search rankings, it was nice to know that I actually got on there!

Trial and error is just part of the process of making money online in my opinion, and if you fail or don't get the wanted results that you hoped for, you have to learn out of that experience on what went wrong and why did you not reach your goals and adapt yourself to succeed next time. I think that most people that quit on trying to make money online is because they don't try to understand their insuccess(es) and don't think further. I think that most of the successfull bloggers out there did have a hard time achieving success.

So anyway, as my first experiment with trying to get a post featured in search engines was a half success if I can call it that, I still need to learn more about it and as soon as I fully get the hang of it I will write an extensive post on how to get listed in those search engines by targetting keywords that have less competition + that I'll be slowly getting more visitors and money too! So If you don't mind, the next two, three or maybe even four next posts will be basically written for those people that are looking for specific terms in search engines. The posts I will write might not follow the logical order of the posts in this blog or the posts might even be about topics I already covered or that you already know, so bear in mind that if you get bored over the next 2-3 posts (4 max), don't panick, as you will know for what purpose they are ;) . If you happen to read those posts then you can still comment, comments are always welcome and I believe that comments might be good for search engine rankings aswell. But that's not all . . . . . .

YOU!! can Participate in this Experiment too!!@@@@@

Yes that's right!, If you have a blog about a specific "niche" subject then you too can participate in this experiment and I'd be glad to include you in it. What I will try to do is try to rank your own blog post in the top 5 or top 10 of google by giving you specific guidelines on what to write about your next post; ex. what title you should use, what your first or second sentence should be, what specific keywords you should use through out the text and what tags you should put, etc so you get to be ranked in the top 5 or top 10 of the search listings for a specific keyword. But don't expect miraculous results! I will be trying to put you in top 5 or top 10 keywords that have rather low competition in terms of websites competing for those keywords, I will be targetting keywords that get around 200 to 500 searches a month, and if things go perfectly then you should be getting 5 to 20 visitors a day everyday for a long time to come. That's the whole point of the experiment. If one single well targeted article can bring in those numbers of consistent visitors, then writing tens and even hundreds of articles in the same way would have dramatic results on your traffic and income!

So anyway, to participate in my search engine traffic experiment all you will have to do is to reply to this post and tell me what kind of blog you have about what particular subject as well as the blog URL (address) and I will then go check it out and do a little bit of research and once I know what to do, I will give you instructions on how to write your post. I will do the keyword and competition research for you once you've told me that you'd like to be part of this experiment, and entering is free of course. The higher your blog's pagerank, the more chances of success I think we should have into geting your blog listed high in the rankings, but even if your pagerank is 0, I will still try to work it out... well I don't even know myself what the results will be but anyway :). Also If you have Google Analytics implemented on your blog, I'd ask you to keep an eye open on traffic comming on your site, or if you don't have that then perhaps you can add a visitor counter or something to track new visitors. And if you have any comments about your result(s) good or bad, then you can tell me how it went or in comments, as I will publish them along with my own results of this experiment in the period of 3 or 4 posts; roughly 1 week to 1 week and a half max.

If you want to participate in this experiment then please say so by leaving a comment and about which one of your blogs - I suggest the one with highest pagerank. I will be willing to help out and give seo instructions for 5 different blogs or not too many more. The instructions will be sent out on your blog's comments or email if you provide me your email. So any volunteers yet? Cheers! For any comments or questions don't be shy, just ask and I will answer
