My blog has been found through organic search
I've always been fairly good at getting people to look at my websites through Facebook links and the like. I don't get a lot of traffic, but always some after every post if I am faithful and share it on Facebook (adding other social media soon).
But today I was beyond thrilled when I looked at my diabetes site and saw that I had one organic search result. That means it wasn't from a post referring them to my site. It was a direct search result!
And it was on a post that I had just created on Sunday! I had just received the email confirming the post had been indexed, as well.
I am not sure what drew the person to check out my site. I had also included a short video of me showing how I test my blood glucose, so I suppose it could have come from the video, too.
I know it's one organic search result but I have decided to celebrate the wins—all of them small or large!
That's all I have for today! I took my granddaughters to a movie tonight and it is now almost 11 p.m. Central time and I still have two posts to finish before I hit the hay! I was excited, though, and wanted to give some positive vibes to you all!

Feels great, doesn't it!
I had an organic comment on a page that had indexed within 2-3 hours of the comment!
Congrats!

Awesome, Rudy!
And yes, it does feel great. I feel like the work is paying off. Not that I am not happy about the referral clicks, but an organic search click—it made my day!

Good job, Karin!
I am just the opposite. My websites get organic traffic but not much from social media. I am not a constant social media poster, just a little here and there.
I guess I would get excited if social media helped me out. What platforms do you find successful? I am primarily on Facebook. I've tried some YouTube, but my niche has so much competition.
I am primarily on Facebook, although with this post that got found, I had a video in there, too. It was of me doing a blood glucose check. Who knows. I am just happy to be found. Now if I will be found useful that will be even better!

If you don't mind me asking, was the video posted on YouTube, Karin?
Yes it was. I have a diabetes channel on YouTube. I hadn't posted on it for at least a couple of years, so there are older videos on there. Perhaps that is how it was found? I don't know. It only has about 13 views, so . . .

Wow, shows the power of YouTube.
