New Design for the Blog today.

I have been building a lot of WordPress themes for my clients recently and decided it was time to update  my own Blog.

I am in the process of redesigning my website as well but as is often the case, doing the work we need to do for ourselves often seems to come last. One of my mentors reminded me several years ago that too many people spend all their time working “in their business” and not enough time working ” on their business”.  The result is that nothing changes and therefore neither do the results.

Calgary search engine optimization experiment

It has been another 16 weeks since I began tracking the results of  my search optimization experiment. I mostly have been letting the project cook awhile and I have not been making a lot of  major changes to the home page. Basically the efforts made in the first few weeks have sustained their early success and my position for the original phrases I was optimizing for have held their positions on the first few pages of Google.

Here are the current statistics:

Keyword Phrase Google Yahoo MSN
Calgary Internet Marketing 34 64 20
Internet marketing Calgary 29 70 12
Internet consulting Calgary 3 8 5
Calgary Internet consulting 7 28 4
Calgary Internet consultant 7 15 5
Internet consultant Calgary 6 8 5
SEO Calgary n/a n/a n/a
Calgary SEO n/a n/a n/a
Search Engine Optimization Calgary n/a n/a 41
Calgary Search Engine Optimization n/a n/a 24

Some of these phrases have improved while others have declined or remained in approximately the same position. The improved positions are highlighted in red.  Most importantly some of the highlighted phases are appearing in the top 10 pages for the first time. n/a means they are not in the first 10 pages and for all intents and purposes, invisible to most people searching  for them on the web.

While this is by no means perfection, it is important to see progress, especially in an area on the Internet where all the experts live. Search engine optimization experts should be able to position themselves highly in the searches for their services and they are the people who not only understand the system, but need to be able to use it effectively to get resutls for their clients, who don’t.

At Millenium Consulting, we teach you to understand how easy it is be found and you will find this especially true if you are in an industry that does not have the knowledge or experience to make it happen.

SEO Results after 8 weeks

Just a short note. After eight weeks my site is showing on page 4 of Google for the keywords ” Calgary Internet marketing” and “Internet marketing Calgary” . This is up from page 8 when I started. Proves that a few simple changes when you understand what  you can do to improve your postion.
