Trials and Tribulations of SEO
Friday 29th June 2007
The internet is a very competitive market these days, and getting high rankings on search engines such as Google and Yahoo is becoming more and more difficult.
When I started this site 18 months ago, I only had a few pages, most of which was relating to my Honda Civic. I wrote a couple of articles about removing the radio (a task which is quite tricky) and removing the rear speakers (again a tricky task). I hadn’t even heard of SEO when writing these pages, but within 6 months they were ranked in the top 10 for Google. Today they both rank number 1. So if I can write a high ranking article with no knowledge of SEO, why doesn’t any of my other pages rank high now I know a few SEO tips?
There are a few pages relating to Astronomy and Photography that I have been trying to get higher rankings for since January, make a change… wait a month and see what happens. Sometimes hits went down, other times they went up slightly. Search engine ranking remained the same, or went down.
So where am I going wrong? Maybe the key is to unlearn my SEO knowledge and revert back to 1990’s style websites…
