#3 on google after 2 days - it really works!

OK so I have to say taht I was a little skeptical of the process and whether or not I could actually get a ranking for a keyword that I pursued.

I did it! I have a number 3 ranking in google for a main keyword. And with 62,000 other sites competing it was good to see. (hopefully I'm evaluating this correctly)



Thanks Howie for the push and the new insight!

New article posted - site created

I created an account on gather.com to promote one of the promoters.

Time to ping it!

Hub pages are great!

My hubpage has ranked 4th for one of my keyword phrases after only 4 hours!

Starting the support sites..

I have started the support sites:

I have collected all the RSS feeds I can from each of them.

I have pinged each one and added the RSS feeds to some feed aggregators:

feedagg.com
friendfeed.com

I also started to bookmark some of the sites:

propeller.com

I also submitted an article to ezinearticles.com and articlebase.com

Creating content

I needed to have some compelling articles to post on my blog as well as the support sites. I did some research and found some articles that others have wrote.

I also was able to piece together some ideas from the pitch page for the product.

I was able to put together three different articles. I will be using two of them on my main blog and the other one I will re-purpose to all the supporting sites.

Creating my site and picking a product.

I have had lot's of experience with setting up wordpress blogs so I decided that it would good to use this as my main site and then link to my product from there.

I figured that if it does well I can then add to the site and monetize it in different ways in the future. I also could add a capture form and start list building from the site.

I wanted to keep it simple for now and just put together a site, post a couple of articles, and put my product adds on it.

Main site: http://www.OvercomeProcrastinationNow.com

Side note: This is somewhat ironic as I have procrastinated getting into intenet marketing - learning something along the way.

Using the keywords I chose a product from clickbank. It seemed like a reasonable product and not only did it cover my niche it also had a broader appeal - this would allow for crossing into other niches in the future.

Keyword research - I suck at this...

I found that this was the hardest thing for me. I suppose that it should have been the easiest (just pick a word and take action) but, I found myself caught up in research overload.

After reading several other "challenge takers" blogs and seeing how they did their keyword choices it became a little more clear to me as to what to do.

I have chosen my keywords and moved into the next step.
