Here is some interesting news: ranking on page 1 inside of Google in 1 day

Yesterday I made an article, and it wasn't anything special, I just did all the basic stuff, some on-page SEO, and made sure it was helpful.

And I checked it in Google if it ranked, and this is what I saw

That is my website, you can see I blurred or covered it, don't really want to share it. And this is position 8.

And this is cool for me, 1 day, and I am ranking on first page in 1 day.

Just to be clear, I am ranking position 8 in Sweden, I don't know what it will be in other countries, because the site rank tool we got inside WA show position 15.

I also just want to prove that this is position 8 by sharing a few screenshots.

So there you can see the YouTube video that was 2 positions over me. So that is 5 articles/video over me, and then here (below) you can see that there are only 2 other articles ranking higher than me:

Here is a more clear view that the post on top (above) is ranking number 1:

So now we can agree that I am ranking on page 1? 7 articles are ranking higher than me, putting me on position 8, well at least in Sweden. You can double-check the screenshots for that if you want.

Now I have read Partha's posts for a good time now (really helpful by the way). So a good question would be, do people search for this keyword? Or in other words, am I REALLY ranking for something?

The answer is, I am not 100% sure to be honest. Jaaxy tells me it doesn't get any searches or at least a low amount, you can see that here:

But, I would like to try Partha's method of seeing if this keyword is even good, but first I want to show you how GSC (Google Search Console) have to say:

That is the latest data GSC has at the moment, and there is a big increase in impressions for sure, but in terms of rankings, not amazing. But a big chunk of all of those impressions comes from my new article. You can see here that it got a lot of impression compared to other articles:

Which I think is pretty cool. Maybe not fantastic, but it is a lot better for me compared to other articles. I mean if we look at my progress these 28 days, the highest amount of impressions is 23.

But, we still don't know if this keyword is good or not, I mean the results so far looks promising (if we forget Jaaxy, lol!).

But, I still want to try Partha's method of seeing if a keyword is popular or not, and it is fairly simple, I just need to put my keyword in to Reddit and Quora, and see how many threads there are, and how many comments the top ones has. If there are many threads, and if a few of the top ones have +20 comments then it should be fairly popular.

Here is what Reddit had to say:

And I could scroll a long way down, probably over 100 threads or 200.

This is what Quora had to say:

Not as popular here on Quora, it wasn't more that much, I would guess around 30 maybe, potentially lower.

So I wouldn't say this is super popular, but maybe not dead. I am not so sure, maybe someone can tell me more clearly if this is a good keyword or not. The keyword tool says one thing, and Reddit and Quora says something a bit different. (If you read Partha’s comment this keyword is pretty much worthless, nobody will search up the “10” just the second part)

Even if this keyword might not be the best in the world, I think that my website coming up on first page (at least in Sweden) in 1 day is for me is great, a little milestone!

One thing I will do though is social media, just to have those links.

I don't know if this will hold, maybe after the update, or something, I don't know. But I am pretty sure this is a good sign.

But, with this update going on, I don't know what is going to happen, or if this post will rank down, or up. I won't check these analytics every day, like Partha said, to kinda make sure my mental health don't get destroyed, lol!

So I don't have high hopes that this article will stay there.

Thanks for reading! :)
