Top Spot in Google
5 weeks ago I published a tiny little blog post, only 535 words, It's only my second blog post ever with a word count under 1000.
Today when I typed the quoted keyword phrase for this little article in the search box, I almost got a heart attack.
My little blog post was number 1 out of 20.300 results. It was not just number 1, there was also a big snippet of my blog post with large paragraphs on top of the page before anything else. If I type the keyword phrase without quotes I'm number 22 out of 144.000.000 results.
And as you can see of the numbers it's not a low competition keyword, it makes it even more weird. I've written well researched blog posts with 3-4000 words that I'm really proud of, but they don't rank nearly as well as this little beauty.
I don't know exactly why Google loves this little article so much, but I have a clue. I'll try and publish a post with a similar structure and see if I'm right...Exiting
May the force be with you

Thanks Erica. What I've learned from this is, it's not the seize that matters (but my girlfriend always told me that...LOL)
