I made first page on Google!
I am so excited! It took me a while to post this. My first three articles got accepted by Ezine articles. Just last weekend I went and did an unquoted search on Google. To my surprise, my second article was #1 out of 449,000 and my third article was #3 out of 71,900,000....WOW! That is what I call Search Engine Optimization! It could be beginners luck, but I don't think so. It took me a lot of time to come up with the keywords and I kept going back to double check them. I'm going to keep this short as I have lots to do today. I've got to finish writing my last article towards the homework for Article Marketing Certification. I'm on Lesson 2 right now. Next Goal...Make the first sale. Just want share the good news. WA really works. You just have to implement what you learn and keep going forward even if you are feeling discouraged. Keep on growing and learning. Our income follows our personal growth. My only problem that I am having right now is that I would like more time to work this business. For me it is so much fun. My friends are very impressed. I tell them I haven't made any money YET. They say "Well you're well on your way." I HEAR THAT! : )

Hi Kristy, well done for getting your articles accepted. When I first submitted articles, a few years ago, it took me several attempts before they accepted the formatting, titles etc. but, when they did, I too was over the moon.
I found the best way to check your search engine rankings is to sign out of Google in every way, eg, toolbar, Gmail, Adwords or whatever I'd signed into during the session.
I would then re-check my listings and then I'd see the true postion of my articles.
If you are signed into Google, they know which sites or searches you go for each time so, always put them higher than they would if somebody else performed the same search.
I found this out when I was selling advertising space. I would tell customers to look and see where my sites were listing but they couldn't find it. Yes, on all by computers in my office, mobile etc., they all featured on the first page.
Anyway, well done and keep writing :-)
Excellent (and thought provoking) post Kyle. It's actually given me an idea for a follow-up post in response to this one.
