Thanks, I missed that post before, I will get some sort of logo made this week for sure! Thanks for the link.


Great journey, I will follow till the end, thank you.

Love the dedication :)

Update: Still have not finished my buying guide I am excited about but ... Bing indexed all 10 of my pages today and 9 of them are on the first two pages.

My one page ranking in google still is #3 on the first page of bing! Hard not to get discouraged during the early days of a new website and the bing bump I just got is a nice motivator.

I am on the fence about publishing the 1500 words of the buying guide I have done now or waiting until I finish it to post it.


Family is calling so I am off for a bit and I am planning on going to Texas to help my dad post-surgery for about a week so If I go AWOL thats why.

I have also recently taken over restoring my Dads website which had fallen into disrepair... trying not to spend much time on it but can't help it pulling some away from this journey until I get it finished.

Thanks again for all those that are following and helping, Ill even send a shout out to all the lurkers out there :)

later bhw
 
Just a quick update. Currently at home across the nation to help my family.

I have one article ranking on page one in google ... and it has .... 230 words .... my least out of all articles.

that is all .... cant quite wrap my ahead around it ... moz shows 200-500 monthly searches on this one.

Most of my articles are ranking in the top 50 off and on ..... this one is pretty much sitting at 8-11 ... so odd.

Does the keyword have less competition? Maybe you would be #1 with a longer article. ;) Quite odd indeed, I always see a lot better ranking positions with longer articles.

Hope everything goes well with the family.
 
Great journey so far, will keep following.
 
I keep being amazed at how shitty the content at the top is on the easy keywords I have researched. I wish I had started this journey when I was in middle school and had a ton of time..

We're coming up on one month from when I got the website live. I am sitting at 11k Words live right now. I find I need quiet conditions to produce the kind of content I am happy with. Then I see some of the crap at the top of google as I am trying to do research and man... from the featured snippet to the top few sites on google they are often filled with garbage.

I may do an experiment and create another writer profile for the website and just try to crank out the dribble I see all over the serps. My gut tells me I should make good content but I know I need to make it faster than I am right now so considering lowering the quality on a few pages haha.

I recently posted a very small page with some pictures of some wild mushrooms I found growing and not much else. I was surprised when it got an impression so I checked out the search term. It was Wet and WIld (city name). I told my wife google does not have my site figured out yet and she replied ... well, it is a little bit all over the place right? It's not all over the place it just needs the other couple thousand of pages I have planned for it. Then the 20 I have up will make sense haha.

I also opened up a JV looking for people that can help by producing some high-quality content. I know the faster I can post high-quality stuff the faster everything will rank. I was going to look for it to link too but I don't think it has been approved yet.

I will post a graph of impressions later for the one month mark since it looks alot more impressive than saying ive passed 30 impressions in a day!!! lol.

I may be leaving tomorrow for another 5-10 day trip to help my father. Last surgery has not been as successful as we had hoped so he is still in desperate need of someone that knows his business really well and that is a shortlist. He would tell you he is fine and does not need any help but that might be why he cant seem to heal up other. He always pushes himself too hard. I remember when he was around 40-50 he had his gallbladder removed and was working that day ... bleeding through his shirt. One of the nurses had said the surgery would really floor him and he would likely stay in bed for a couple of days so he went back to work to prove a point. Wish he could be that stubborn about following the doctor's orders now.

Thanks for the support. Its good to have a place to write out all the crazy going on. Still, I have yet to do any Youtube videos but I will try and do a few down at the folks since their camera phones are about 1300x better than mine.

Looking forward to following this journey, wish your father the very best with his recovery and hope you have a safe trip.

Took words right out of my mouth (or hands I guess). Hope everything goes well with your father, and I have no doubts you'll smash it with your site - You're actually taking it seriously. Excited to see where you are in a few months.
 
Just read through the whole journey. So far so good man. Few articles on page 1 already is huge. You're keyword research is paying off. Keep pumping out the content!

Following.

Hope your dad recovers!
