Google Ranking [Chevelle Site:blogspot.com]

In the last couple days I have managed to get this blogged ranked pretty well among all the other Blogger/Blogspot blogs that mention Chevelle in them!

For this you would have to type Chevelle site:blogspot.com in Google's search box to see what the rank of the blog is among all the other Blogspot blogs out there that mention Chevelle.

Of all the Blogger blogs on Blogspot, I have managed to get my blog listed as #32 in all the blogs that mention Chevelle, and yesterday at 2:30 PM was the first post I made about Chevelle!

For the fun of it I checked where anything on Keith's blog showed up... and the first instance of anything on his blog in Google's SERPs that had Chevelle on it was ranked as page #263.

This blog is also ranked #729 when you type chevelle band without quotes. I didn't even see Keith's blog in any of those listings.

And when you type in Chevelle band site:blogspot.com, this blog is #13 in Google's SERP among all the other Blogger/Blogspot blogs that mention Chevelle and band!

Note: that these rankings are very likely only temporary, because as content is added it will remove my Chevelle keyword density and likely bump me down in Google's SERPs... though it would be cool if I got higher in Google's SERPs.

Concert Conflict...

I was just on facebook poking around at some of the various bands iLike...

I just found out that Underoath who I really like will be playing near Buffalo, New York on Tuesday, October 23rd at the Evolution Entertainment Complex in Cheektowaga, New York (ticket info).

However, Nightwish is another band I really like that is playing the same night in Toronto, Ontario Canada - just across the lake. They are playing at The Docks Nightclub and Concert Theatre (ticket info).

  vs.  

Underoath                             Nightwish

Depending on how Nightwish's upcoming album Dark Passion Play [2 Disk Edition | Discography] is, I might be in quite a predicament to choose which concert to go to...

I have to wait and see how their new stuff is because they just got a new female vocalist, and I don't have enough of an idea of how they are just based on their new single Eva, because it is a very light song.

Hopefully Nightwish hasn't gone too soft on me... I like their heavy rock mixed with Tuomas's interest in soundtrack composing... it gives a real interesting sound in a lot of their stuff.

So far it seems much more likely that I will go to the Underoath Concert because I'm sure that Keith would want to go to that... and I don't know if anyone would want ot go to the Nightwish concert with me... Plus Underoath will be coming closer!

Mini Happy Dance!

My web 2.0 content in the market I was talking about in the previous post finally got into Google's SERP (Search Engine Ranking Page)!

And I didn't have to pay to get there with AdWords....

Horray!

Here's the break-down of what happened:

• I Posted content to it on 8/21/07 at 8:51 AM and 9:28 AM.
• Set up a unique social bookmarking account for the popular social bookmarking services and bookmarked it at about 9:30 AM.
• Google actually crawled my content 8/21/07 at 13:33:05 GMT... Soooo - minus 4 (Eastern Daylight / Summer Time)... would make it 9:33AM
• Set up a unique social bookmarking account for all the other services at 9:35 AM.
• Then proceeded to social bookmark it at all those places at 10:45 AM.
• ... [Got bored and did some other stuff] ...
• Created a Squidoo Lens for my stuff at 3:30 AM on 8/22/07.
• Social bookmarked said Squidoo lens in popular bookmarking services with alternative account at 4:00 AM
• ... [Poked around the web a bit] ...
• Manually added my site to Google's To-Be-Crawled list, not having seen it in Google's SERPs even by 7:00 AM the following day!
• ... [Got really frustrated an made my last post at 7:30 AM] ...
• Finally am listed on Google's SERPs between 8:45 AM and 2:15 PM on 8/22/07 when I was resting.

  Here's some of the Data:

  For phrase match I'm listed as #111 (the eleventy-first result)

  For broad match I'm listed as #710

  Not quite in the top ten... but we'll see what I can do!

I didn't get out of Google's supplemental index or passed into their main index from their cache index 23-29 hours later!

What did this...

• Was it the fact that a bunch of other 30DCers were already in the market and using the same platform?
• Was it the fact that Google finds it fishy that all of a sudden a bunch of content was added to the social bookmarking sphere with the same tag(s) in a relatively short period of time?
• Does Google not put Blogger/Blogspot content in the SERPs right away?
• Was it the fact that I was trying too hard to get into Google?
• Did I mess up at some small little thing that I missed in the 30DC content?
• Did I do something wrong?

I think Google is just smarter and tricker than we know about how it moves stuff aorund it's indices.

Just STOP IT!

Hey this goes out to all the 30DC people that have the same market idea I have:

WOULD YOU GET OUT OF MY MARKET!

Stop, turn, and run away... I have one decent market idea that I just put all my extra time that I have left into it.

And all of you are messing it up for me!

Seriously, that's not cool!

But Here's What It Really Is...

I don't really like any of the market ideas I have, sure I have a list of like 30 market ideas... but quite honestly I don't like any of them.

I wish that I could just pay someone to do all the boring work that I don't want to do... but my job sucks and doesn't pay me enough - plus it doesn't even leave me enough time to do what I really want to do.

So instead I've done all this work the last week in a market that a thousand other 30DCers thought of and I'm not getting anywhere in google and hating every moment of it.

I also set up accounts for other ideas on like blogger and got them their own emails.... but one I don't really know anything about and the market is too broad for me and I can't find anything decent to post about...

And the other is good and interesting with like maybe only one other 30DCer out there, but I am like totally stumped for creating any amount of content for it... at least any kind of quality content.

Also there's another market I saw that I might be able to work with... but I don't want to work with any of the stuff that I have now! So why should I really be looking at another?

If any of this were up to me I'd have my successful company and be working on other more fun scripting and tech stuff online.
