Flabbergasted - BUT, so very grateful

I've recently been concentrating my efforts on SEO (trying to improve what little knowledge and understanding I

have on the subject) along with checking my published content statistics from both of my web pages.

To be frank I don't check the stats all that often, but now and then I look at Google Analysis or Search Console all in an effort to gleam something that might jump off the screen and shout success at me ;-)

I'm happy enough with the figures given the youth of my sites and I'm happier still to focus my attention on research and writing content, for now.

However, today I came across Textmetrics (formerly webtexttool) plugin while I was updating the "My Add-ins" on my Microsoft office suite and I am delighted to announce that from using this handy little plug-in I have just discovered something quite delightful that I thought I might share with all you dear friends.

It would appear that one of my pages (a book review) is now showing on the FIRST page of GOOGLE at number 4 - to say I am shocked is an understatement.

I have no idea how long I have been sitting under Amazon and Goodreads, but suffice to say it truly is a massive privilege!

This gigantic boost will carry me through for quite a while - and for me it is plenty confirmation that I am indeed doing "something" right, and that the training here really does work!

Happy Monday folks - Jules
