You are indeed an inspiration.
It wasn't an overnight success in any way.
It was about this particular strategy giving you the leverage you had been missing.
Out of interest - you say that your site has over 1mill competitors.
However did you still choose keyword phrases that fitted with the criteria?
So even if your main phrase has those figures - did you find another phrase to leverage that related to your niche/offering?
Thanks again Bruce

Thank you Caro, It still seems kind of surreal, and I don't want to get caught up in a small bit of success, and I'm still working on the lessons, {I'm a bit behind and need to take today to catch up on day 27 and 28.}
To answer your questions
"However did you still choose keyword phrases that fitted with the criteria?"
Answer: My keywords were the same ones I've always used and my site used to rank well with these 1-5 on Google, until they slapped me in January. I re designed my site, catering to a higher end customer and did all the SEO stuff I was getting from the other IM "gurus", and my site would just drop in Google with every change I did. I was so frustrated!
"So even if your main phrase has those figures - did you find another phrase to leverage that related to your niche/offering?"
Answer: I tried to find keyword phrases that met the 30DC challenge parameters, but could not come up with any. So I decided to put it to the ultimate test and see if could pull my site out of the gutter. Which it did unbelivable well. I think in part because hardly anyone in my niche uses these Web 2.0 techniques, and it was easy for me to get ranked. There are a few sites that still out rank me and I believe I know why - (Backlinks) so I'm studying that lesson right now.
Obrigado! (Thanks!)
