Focus, effort and determination - never quit!
I love it when a plan comes together, don't you?
Just wanted to mention that I now have over 50,000 words on my blog (plus 1.600 I added today) and 36 blog posts.
The good news is that I'm getting some traction with Google and my posts are being indexed in hours now rather than days.
The challenging news is that I'm in the MMO niche and I'm realizing it's a tough nut to crack.
That said, I have a solid base for my business now and I can definitely build on that.
One pointer I'd like to share with you that I've come to realize as well. Really do go for the easy to rank keywords in the early stages.
What I've seen is that if I chase a keyword that has, let's say 100+ QSR, I'm ending up on P5-6 despite the quality of my content and my SEO. Of course, that will improve over time as I build my blog out even more.
Also pay attention to the SEO metric - find a keyword with a QSR of 10 or less (possible in some niches, hard to find in mine) and an SEO of 90+ % and you may well get a P1 position.
I have my back to the wall with my niche and my results are up and down, but there's a definite trend happening and I can work with that.
So, stick with it guys. You'll get there in the end...
