After my last posting on December 11th, in which I wrote about trying to get ranked on Google, Yahoo and MSN with a keyphrase discovered when using Wordtracker, I took some screenshots of the current list leaders on each of the engines. My site morlenefisher.com did not appear on the first or subsequent pages of the search results in any engine. Today, I went back to check and was delighted with the results to find that I had achieved at least position 1 or 2 using the search phrase. Check it out below (search done 28th Dec 2006)
I’ve know of Alexa.com as a good place to research traffic across the internet for about 5 years or so.
