I’m trying some experiments to see how my personal SEO efforts will pay off. I’ve done some research about how many time specific search terms are used and compared those terms and numbers with the amount of pages that exist on the web to be found for those search terms.
I created 3 sites based on 3 search terms. According to my research the ratio of the number of times the terms is searched for in a month, divided by the number of existing web pages that contain the terms seemed reasonable. I was looking for a term that gets more than 1,000 searches a month with less than 10,000 other pages. That divides out to 10.0. Anything less is good. Anything more is bad. There were some in the thousands, that is, for every single search in a month, there are more than a thousand pages that contain it. I’d rather compete with 10 pages than 1,000 pages.
The 3 sets of search term ratios are:
3.63
5.44
9.75
I worked on the first one first, since it had the lowest ratio. I wrote up some content and was shocked to see it on the front page of the search results when I checked today. I was even more shocked to see my cat fever site on the front page of the results page.
Our poor little kitty had some personal problems recently and I did some research on his condition. It seems that there are millions of sites out there about cat diarrhea, but not very many about cat fever.
So I created one. I’ve been doing some research about fever in cats and other cat related health problems. Learned more than I expected. Never give your cat Aspirin. It will kill them.
I linked to the site from www.survivor.com and updated the XML site map for Google. I’m still working on writing articles, when I checked and the site is on the first page of the search results, at number 9. I bought the domain name a week ago. It’s only been live for a week and I’m already on the front page. I was actually shocked by that progress so fast.
So, my first big push is on this cat health site. I am only using AdSense to monitize it for now, but soon you’ll be able to buy an ebook on cat health.
I mostly just wanted to say that SEO actually works. These principles that we all talk about will put your site on the first page of the search results pages.
Now, if anyone wants to trade links with my cat health site… let me know!
Quoting from How To Treat Your Cat Fever
Does your cat have a fever?
If your cat is generally lethargic and has no appetite, it might have a fever. If your cats ears feel hot to the touch it might have a cat fever. Most people think that a cold, wet nose is a sign of a healthy cat, and that a warm, dry nose is a sign of a fever in a cat. This is NOT ALWAYS TRUE! It’s possible for environmental temperature and the cats hydration to affect how cold and wet their nose is. The only reliable way to determine if your cat has fever is by taking their temperature.
