Happy Anniversary to Siddharth Rao’s Blog
Greetings from Siddharth Rao’s blog! Nothing technical in today’s post – I just wanted to let my readers know that it has been one year since I started this blog. Time indeed flies!
I started this blog in November 2008 with an objective to share some of my knowledge, provide reviews on certain products/services and to do an experiment for establishing my brand name on search engines. While the first two objectives are partially achieved and they appear to be on track, the third objective was significantly achieved. I had aimed to appear on rank#1 in the search results of the top three tier-1 search engines namely Google, Yahoo and Bing (formerly MSN/Live).
The primary keyword was obviously my name “Siddharth Rao”. As of today, my blog appears on rank#1 in search results for the above search term – on Google and Yahoo. On Bing, I’m still on rank#3. Hopefully, I’ll get on the top in a few more months. With this experiment – I got to know how to optimize web pages and web sites on specific search terms or keywords in a systematic way, to achieve competitive organic rankings in search engines.
Believe it or not, it is not as easy as one might think. There are over two hundred variables to consider and fine time, in a relatively sequential manner before we can get close to what we are talking about. However, from the business side – the entire future of any commercial web site depends on these factors. Ultimately – any site is useless it is not found by visitors for relevant keywords or search terms.
I’ll do a follow up post sometime next month to cover more detailed technical aspects about optimization. That’s it for today! For all my readers in the US – enjoy the holiday shopping season and stay warm (it’s going to get cold soon)!
