Last week Google updated their ranking system, 2 of my sites went up but I’m not sure how, Since I haven’t been doing anything different, I’m retracing my steps to find out what went RIGHT. Google swears that ranking means nothing, and yet they are still ranking sites as long as they keep it around I’m gonna go say uhhh yep it means something! Not sure what, but it mean something. I’m set out to find out what it means, but I need your HELP.
A lot of SEO(Search Engine Optimization) gurus out there always say that the main way to get your website visible by Google and in good shape is to get a lots of back links, have optimized keyword yadi yadi yada but my experience has been quite different.
I maintain about 3 active sites including my blog and 3 not so active sites (Blogs I started on impulse and kinda lose interest). So I’m comparing my blog with StaycationDirectory (since they are about the same age) to see where is the magic.
My blog Has no keywords, no major keywords whatsoever. As you all know this blog is the rambling in my head, sometimes its technical, sometimes its diapers, sometime its sexy so I don’t write around keywords. As far as back links I got about 67 backs links mostly from of you guys (my fellow bloggers) I get a fairly amount of visitors which I consider good since this blog is not getting any kinda of advertisement I have no idea how people find me, hey somehow I’m visible somewhere.
On the other hands, StaycationDirectory have almost no back link, keywords… I guess staycation would be the keyword but its not really optimized for that word. I never really center around that, yet it is thriving in Google search and getting way more visitors than my blog ever had and still they both rank a 3 on Google ranking scale! So what gives?
Does this ranking thing really mean anything? or does content is what does the trick? or maybe tons of back links guarantee grace in Google eyes?
Every time I think I got a hang on this SEO stuff, something weird like that happen and leaves me baffled!

So help me help you! Lets talk about it since we all need these SEO stuff, lets compare notes! What have you been doing to help your site visibility? are you getting any results? if we all participate in the talk maybe we’ll find a common denominator to the SEO success!
