Almost everyday I see members posting that they are ranking on Google Page One for their keywords in their latest website posts. Even though I know this is an exciting experience I also know that there is a really good chance that these members are mistaken.
SOME TOUGH LOVE
If you are going to post a WA blog claiming that you are ranking on Page One for a specific keyword, don’t just say so. Provide some proof like the below screenshot. Post the keyword and domain you believe is ranking on Page One so we can check it out too. This will also help you to see if you are correct.
I am all for WA members succeeding and I personally know that by following the training and working hard you will eventually reach your goal. But I also do not want you to be misled by what you think is true when in reality it is not.Let me explain what I mean.
If you are going up on Google and searching for the keywords from your newly published page or post within the first few days, your search results will most likely be FALSE. In this day and age of “Instant Everything” your real Google results will not be instant.
The general rule as explained to me by my friend David, a Senior Programmer at Google, is to wait for about 10 days before checking, otherwise your results will be wrong. There are a few good reasons why these results will be wrong, and I will explain them on the next page.
NEXT UP = Why you should NOT search your keywords in Google just after publishing.
Thanks for sharing :).

I just found this little training as I was a little desperate finding my website after I got the "it is indexed" message. In my case I didnt find my website at all. BUT, what I have learned from this article, patience is the keyword. But its a hard to be patient, when you are new in the business and exited ;-)
So thanks a lot for the information!
You made me curious and I will checkout your other trainings while waiting on google and taking a break between new content articles :-)

I have a website, recently created, and a page within the website is titled Automotive Gadgets.
By using the Private Browsing Mode in FireFox and using Yahoo Search, I found my Automotive Page on the 2nd page of the Yahoo search results. And all I typed in to find this result were 2 words........Automotive Gadgets. This is encouraging to say the least.
Robert, thanks a ton for your training!

This is the reason Boomergp08 is ranked in the top 50 here at WA. I suggest that older and new WA members stay in touch with Boomergp08 and follow his posts and training.

It can be a rude awakening when seeing the huge difference between a Google/Bing/Yahoo keyword search on a "standard" browser and a browser in "privacy/incognito' mode.
Another thing is that, even though we may have chosen "low hanging fruit" keywords on Jaaxy, and we've waited a month or so to verify rankings in incognito mode, we should look at how many results there are in that keyword search.
Search results could be in the low hundreds - in which case we may very well be ranking on page 1 or 2.
But, those search results could also be in the millions - which leads to the hard realization that the competition is a lot tougher to overcome. And, it's very likely that it can take months - or even years - to rank high - because, we are probably competing against other quality websites that are more "well seasoned" than ours.
