Well I’ve been staying busy the last few weeks.  Been slacking a lot on this blog, and the whole sulumits retsambew SEO contest as well.  For some reason I keep seeing this site ranked #2, but when using a datacenter checker, or SERP checker I see myself at #4.  I wonder why that is.

Maybe Google is using cookies to track me, and thinks webmasterstimulus.org is more important to me, that anywhere else…or maybe IP based.  *shrug* who knows.

I’ve been staying busy messing around with lots of other projects recently.  Messing around in affiliate marketing, and launched a personal blog, Steve Fortuna .com.  Never been much of a blogger — it’s more of just a way to get my name out there in case someone is Googling for me.

Well I figure I’ll expose my secrets to SEO………..wait for it………..Backlinks!  Who would’ve thought.  I’ve posted a couple articles, and put backlinks on a bunch of my other sites.  That’s it.  I guess Google likes my other sites, and in turn trusts their opinion on this site.  I’m not complaining.

Well let’s hope I can push up another couple positions, or the rest of the world see’s I’m at #2.  Best of luck to everyone.

As I checked the search results for sulumits retsambew today, I was suprised that I didn’t see myself right away.  I had been sitting at around position 5-8 for the last couple weeks.  I actually went to the second page, didn’t see myself there and thought what the heck.

Turns out Google pushed me up to position #2!  Whoa!  I love you too Google.  I didn’t even look in the top positions at first.  It seems like my backlinks I setup on sites are pushing some real weight.  I’m wondering why, as they’re not related at all…But then I think, what is related to sulumits retsambew?  Nothing!  So maybe I’ll luck out there.

As far as promotion on this site,  I haven’t really been doing much at all recently.  I just imagine the work I put in a couple weeks ago is starting to pay off.  I have been taking on a bunch of other projects recently, so time is a big issue.  My slow yet powerful (it seems) promotion will continue, as I don’t imagine I’ll be sitting up top for long without active promotion.

This is fun.
