Google Ranking - Can I Get Excited?

Hey, WA'ers. So I checked my site rank this morning on Jaaxy, and it says I am on the 1st page of Google, pos. 6 and 1st page of Bing/Yahoo position 1. Is this for real?

I thought I would get an email from WA if I ranked on Google. I went incognito and searched my keywords, which just happen to be my site name, and it popped right up on Google 1st page.

I want to be excited about this, but being cautiously optimistic. What do you think is going on? I would appreciate any feedback you may have. Thank you and hope everyone is having a great day!

That's fantastic, congrats!

Thank you so much. It was nice to see some positive activity. Thanks for your encouragement and all the best to you!

Nice! Great job!!

Thanks so much. I hope all is well in Austin.

Things are a little bit better in Austin.
Please, keep the families in your prayers.

I am currently on a vacation in Virginia.

I have been praying for Austin and all those touched by the recent violence. So sad that there is so much of this going on in our world. Take care and enjoy your vacation:)

Thank You!

Yes...be excited..if only for the moment. We have to acknowledge whatever success we have for whatever amount of time it exists. You've accomplished something...there's movement going on. Congratulations.

Thank you, Debbie. It was indeed a sweet Google surprise that I allowed myself to enjoy for the day, then back to working on my site. Thanks for the encouragement and I wish you continued success!

Hi Gina,

First of all, congratulations!

Don't know how to answer the "Should I get excited?" question yet..

After reading your post, I went to check one of my sites.

I see for one of my keywords I rank as Page 1 Position 2 for both Bing and Yahoo.

If I compare that to the amount of traffic I'm getting, the champagne's still laying dormant in the fridge.

The keyword has a low QSR (100) and High SEO (87).

The average monthly searches is 7,766 with expected traffic of 1,321 - if you hit page 1.

The actual traffic from Yahoo and Bing at the moment is nothing close to that (say about an average of 100 or so a month specifically from Bing and Yahoo).

I know it's not Google, but from previous experiments with the same keyword using Bing PPC, I know the traffic is much more than what is filtering through (average click rate from previous experiments taken into consideration).

That being said, although not a perfect "Yay, you've made it" indicator, I think it's a great "Yay, things have started and you're on the right track" indicator.

It could also be that it works different with Google, in which case all I've just said is irrelevant.

Congrats again and good luck with your endeavours!

Ps. If it's anything like YouTube (owned by Google) - one of my videos was drip feeding with traffic... not good - not great either.

I read a lot about people talking about the 3 month mark (i.e. traffic growing significantly after 3 months of "drip traffic")

All of a sudden 4 days ago (around the 3 month mark - 2 days earlier to be exact) my traffic grew 30 fold. Yes, thirty times higher average visitors per day than what was previously coming through.

Long story short, if there's not a huge difference in traffic at the moment, your rank could be an indicator of great things to come.

Hello, Ian. Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply. I am quite cautious by nature, so I think I was having a difficult time believing I had ranked on Google. I didn't want to be discouraged when I found out I had made a terrible mistake:)

I am glad you touched on the subject of traffic because ultimately that is what is important: more visitors and conversion.

I am impressed that you are on YouTube and like the idea. I may consider utilizing it as part of my social media strategy to generate more interest in my site.

Thanks again for your time. Your feedback brought up some valuable points for me to consider. I wish you all the best in WA, especially much success on your site!

Brilliant, go on get excited!!

Wayne

Thanks, Wayne. I am will let myself enjoy this moment. Thanks for your encouragement:)

No problem Gina.

I got excited earlier and that was just because I ate a chocolate bar!

I think your news is healthier and and more excitement worthy!

Enjoy Sunday!

Wayne

Ha! Ha! I ate a chocolate bar yesterday too and was super excited about it!

What a happy Sunday! Chocolate talk, can't beat it!!

Wayne

Xmas pressy came late to you heh?
Jolly good news Gina.
Cheers Jae ☺

Thank you, Jae. Yes, very nice gift, and couldn't believe what I was seeing:) Cheers!
Gina

Thank you so much:)

Congrats! Shows the power of the training here at WA and that if followed it will work. Press on . . .

Thanks so much, Howard. I agree; WA is fantastic, and I am going to continue working hard!

Awesome. Congrats Gina!

~Mark :)

Thank you so much, Mark. I thought I read somewhere that you would receive an email if you ranked in Google and I didn't, but Jaaxy is saying I am. I didn't want to get too excited:)

Congratulations and thanks for sharing

Thank you.
