I checked google again this morning and see that I am on the rise. I guess the few backlinks I setup to point at this site, even though they were completely unrelated, are pushing some real juice. I see myself at #7 on page one now. I don’t imagine it will always be this easy. As I’ve probably put about 3 minutes worth of work in so far..haha.
Anyways, I thought I’d give a little background on why I chose this domain. Since the SEO contest was announced, I had planned on entering. I figured I would grab up a nice keyword domain, put some work into the site, do a lot of on page SEO, link building, etc etc and see what happens. I sat down one day to check the thread, and realized it was 30+ pages. Crap. I missed the jump start…I thought to myself, “Oh well, it’d just be a time sink anyways”. I figured I’d still participate, but wasn’t fired up about it anymore. I checked to see if there were any more keyword (sulumits retsambew) domains available, and of course there wasn’t. I then thought, sulumits retsambew, what the heck is that? Nothing. It’s webmaster stimulus backwards. Why not grab webmasterstimulus.tld? So I checked and .com and .net were taken, so I regged .org. About four days later I thought to myself, I have the domain, might as well throw something up on it, maybe setup a couple backlinks and see if I can let google find it.
Who would’ve thought Google would not only find my little site, but put me up on the first page? Not me. Well, now that I’m up there it’s peaked my interest a bit more. I haven’t done anything beyond the first couple links, but have some plans to see if I can keep myself on the first page, or better.
$1,000 would be nice.
