I want to share with you an interesting achievement on Google and than discuss it for the education value. A post on this blog hit #1 on Google for a fairly short key phrase. Here is the screen shot:
The first Link is to this blog. Great right? Yes and No.
What is Wrong with Ranking #1 On Google?
Nothing really but it could be a lot better.
1. The search phrase “bullion producer” is not an extremely popular phase. According to https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal it gets 46 hits per month average worldwide. I would have expected a lot more, but than the tool is not perfect and neither am I. I’m seeing about a hit a day for the phrase though so there must be more than 46 searchers per month.
2. The search phrase “bullion producer” does not have any value on Adwords. I should have looked for a higher value, more searched keyword like Silver Bullion or Investment Bullion.
3. I put out a few links to the article in the realcent forum plus on SheToldMe and Xomba. Nothing big but apparently it does not take a lot of effort to get that phrase.
4. The second link is to a thread on the realcent coin forum that contains a link to this blog. That thread has several things going for it. It contains the search term Bullion Producer in the title, a link to the #1 ranked page for bullion Producer, and it is part of a while forum talking about silver bullion and other bullion.
While I love #1 I’m going to try adding links and reworking some of the links to a more searched phrase – specifically Silver Bullion since Silver Bullion is searched for 500,000 times a month. If it works, this effort will bring in a ton of traffic.
Now for a word from our sponsors. If you like Silver Bullion (or Copper Bullion) check out my friend Nate at the Copper Cave today.

Funny stuff Jade, You should whip up an InfoBarrel article and link it to your articles on SheToldMe, Xomba, and your blog post and get them all on page one if it’s that easy. Just make sure to use the term silver bullion and investment bullion in the article to trigger better ads.

Jade,
I hear you! It’s kind of neat to see yourself rank well but if it’s not for a highly searched keyphrase, then you’re not getting much benefit from it.
I created a small affiliate site that gets exact-broad matches of 800-1000 hits per month. I want to get on the first page of Google for that term (currently #3 or #4 page).
Give it links for your desired keyphrase. Do a bit of article marketing. Give us the results :)

I’ve started. Will be doing a follow up post(s) on this. Silver Bullion is going to be a tough nut to crack.

I agree with Joyce! Just starting online writing, I have learned a lot. This is a silver bullion producer of a blog and producer for me to learn from.
Thanks for the great comments that will help this rank for silver bullion producer. A little update for everyone. I lost the #1 spot :( for bullion producer after I re-jigged some of the links – fell to #2. However this page started ranking for bullion producer too on the front page. I’m hoping the silver bullion producer interview can be pulled up for the broader search term. We will see what is possible and all learn from it.
Glad I found this as its just what I need to help my site achive higher ranking on google….thanks
