I have been activly building inbound and outbound links, creating videos all to get higher listings in google.
Then a fellow student on Alex Jeffreys site has reached number i spot for the words Alex jeffreys, this if a fairly new blog site that did not place aon the front page 2 weeks ago.
So after looking into why http://steveharoldmarketing.com/blog/ this blog should shoot to number one above more seemingly active sites with loads more inbound and outbound links?
Is This The Secret ?
One conclusion of mine is, if you take a look at his source code you will notice he is using the ‘All in One SEO pack’ but what he has done is overridden this and pasted his KEYWORD and CONTENT into his blogs header.php file at the top under title.
By doing this google will read the TITLE, CONTENT & KEYWORDS on the home page first.
Google seems to like this with websites and blogs seem to get listed quicker and higher in google at the moment.
Try it i think it will make some difference…

Hi Mark,
Nice to see you have opened up your blog to allow us all to comment easily
I see you are still #1 ranking in MSN and I am way down. Very well done.
In the one that matters though (Google) today just noticed I’m at #8 and you down at #22. Amazing how there are such big differences in the search engines.

Hi Mark
The seo plugin is only a newish SEO tactic I have added to my blog. It probably has made some difference but as to how much difference I have no idea.
I am no expert on SEO and have been sticking to what Alex has talked about. My blog has been analysed by some students who have superior knowledge about these things but no one has been able to come up with what the one SEO thing I have done that has made the difference.
I think the rankings can be so volitile that I don’t expect to be up there for long but I am enjoying the ride while I can. My hits have gone up by more than 21,000% since I acheived a better ranking but that is mainly due to small visitor numbers to start off with I believe.
Anyway, keep going with your SEO ideas and I am sure your blog will bubble up too.
Best wishes

Hi Mark,
Dirk here another one of Alex Jeffreys Crew
I figured I’d stop in since you befriended me at Fortunate 500.
I figured I’d jump into this post and thought it was a neat tid bit of information that i may try on mine.
There is one thing I did notice on each of your posts, that the tag lines were empty.
I’m no expert with blogging yet or could be wrong, but should we insert keywords to each post that best fits that post? Just wondering, maybe I’m doing wrong.
Let me know.
You did a really nice job here with your blog.
Speak with ya soon.
To your success,
Dirk Blanke

Hi Gary yes still no one on msn search engine but slipped to 22 on google, i shall be running a new project and site dedicated to get to the top of google if possible from the start with a site built just top do this. I will keep you informed of my progress… If any.
@Steve Harold
Steve,
I think you should write on your blog EVERYTHING you have done from setting up your blog where you have linked what plugins you have used, any paid ads, where you have submitted you site, template used etc etc.. We can all learn how and why Google loves your site and got you to no 1…. Here is a thought make a report or ebook about it, add your links and give it as a freebie once they subscribe to your list.
If you add a bit about me and my blog and add my link and say who gave you the idea , i will get a professional ebook cover designed for you for FREE…. i think they call that a JV (joint venture)
@Dirk Blanke
Hi Dirk,
Nice to here your comment. Yes when you add any posts you must add a few keywords in your TITLE to get a higher placement on google.
I leave the tag lines out just a personal thing.. Place keywords in your tagline also.
@ Recruitment Software
Let me know if place the code where i suggested has made your blog place higher on google.
