A little encouragement for the strugglers.

No I have not yet made a sale but I have made #1 in Google for my main keyword.

When I started this micro-niche I thought that I could get to #2 quickly and #1 after a lot of work. The matrix looked like this


The analysis and feedback thread is here
Matrix Thread

Now, here is the new matrix.



That one at #1 is my site. WooHoo.

My site sat at #3 for weeks and then plummeted. Came back into the rankings and hovered between 18 and 68 for a week or so then bang, at the top.

Now I get to see if the traffic exists and what it will do but I confess to feeling a little frustrated watching it play the Google dance up and down so low. Now I feel pretty happy and I'm waiting on the sales.

In summary, follow the training and the ranking will show up.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Looking at the matrix, I though yes you can get #2 with some work but it will take some hard work and time to knock the PR4 off the top spot, but you did it! Congratulations this shows the power of 30DC.

A really good example of how to get to #1, you have picked a great micro niche and obviously fully studied your competion and your niche, keep up the good work.

Long may you stay at #1 and sales generated from that #1 position.

Excellent work OBK - I'm very happy for you!

I noticed the guys you knocked from No1 have built 450 back links to page since you started?? are they getting worried ? lol

I'm also wondering the reason how you've built 38 BLD but only 1 BLP??

What causes that? Shouldn't BLP pretty much match BLD in the 30DC?

Anyway, well done, but don't rest on your laurels in case Google decides to take you on the merry dance again
