"I'm thrilled to share that my blog Setting Points has reached the first page of Google! I have been on the front page of Yahoo! and Bing for over a month. Until now, all I heard was crickets from Google. Lo and behold...

Interestingly, the first-page status of those two services brought me about 5 visitors a day. Google has the blog at 18 on the first day of ranking. No, it is not a lot, but it is a beginning.

When I first started my blog a few months ago, I had no experience in affiliate marketing. However, diligently following the training provided by Wealthy Affiliate (minus a couple of Shiny New Thing Diversions), I now have a better understanding of SEO, content creation, and building an audience.

The lessons on keyword research, optimization, and more have paid off. Just a short time in, one of my recent posts ranks on the first SERP for some competitive keyword phrases related to Mastering Niche Blogging for Retirement.

I wanted to thank the WA community for all the support and knowledge sharing. The community has been so helpful throughout this learning process. The training gave me the strategic framework that I needed to structure my site and produce high-quality, reader-focused content. I even changed my tagline to better reflect my agenda.

Reaching the first page of Google is a true milestone, and I owe it all to following the Wealthy Affiliate blueprint. So when someone asks you

"Does Wealthy Affiliate Really Work?"

Point them to this post. I'm excited to continue climbing the rankings and building my Mastering Niche Blogging for Retirement site using the same SEO techniques they taught me.

Next stop... Expansion and Monetization!

Thank you again for this incredible training program - it's changed the trajectory of my new business!
