I MADE THE FIRST PAGE OF GOOGLE!!

Posted by Karen Rubin on Fri, May 01, 2009 @ 02:04 PM

In less than two weeks after launching Karen-Rubin.com I made the first page of Google for term Karen Rubin! Honestly I thought it was going to be a little more challenging, but I am not complaining.

Check out my rise to page #1. The green line is Karen-Rubin.com and the red is my other site, Gormandizing.com. The yellow is KarenRubin.com, the site I am trying to knock out of the first position. 

My strategy for getting to the first position, which I do expect to take longer, is to keep adding content regularly! I am planning for a couple of posts a week minimun and hoping to get at least one per day. Hopefully I can find interesting things to say every day!

Congratulations. I'm a similar problem and would like to take the same challenge sometime soon.

Eitan, I say go for it. Honestly, it's been a week and a half and 9 blog posts. That's not too much of a commitment. I think the secret was getting the Karen-Rubin URL, it has my name in it, even though it's not KarenRubin.com.  
 
Good luck!

Did you consider KarenRubin.me? I'm having this ".me vs. a hyphen" dilemma... :) 
 
Thanks for the encouragement and inspiration!

.me doesn't have as much credibility as .com in the eyes of some search engines. As yet, anyways. That might change. 
 
Content, and freshness thereof, is probably a better bet than a .me domain.

I totally agree with Yoav that lots of content is the best way to go. With that said, when I was debating buying Karen-Rubin.com or KarenRubin.tv or any of a number of other URLS, Yoav and others suggested I just by them all. Not a bad idea at all if you have unlimited funds.
