There it is! 11th position on Google for my first name!
A few weeks ago, strange idea wondered into my head. I decided to experiment and see if I can achieve any improvement when it comes to rank for my own name. The task at hand was not an easy one since Google has plenty of pages that come up for “Vlad”. Good amount of them of course have nothing to do with me but “Vlad the Impaler”. So I decided to throw him a little competition. The man is dead anyway!
When I started this experiment about two weeks ago, my site came would show on the pages 8-13 (with 50 results per page) or between 400th-600th positions. Today my sites shows in the eleventh place on Google for Vlad.
Few things helped to achieve this along the way. I was more active commenting on other blogs, while majority of blogs that I have commented are using “nofollow” but there were few that are generous in spreading the “love”. I also added under every single post on my blog the following “Posted by Vlad“.
I am not sure if my site will hold this position for a long time, but it sure brought me some satisfaction to see my site move up about 90 positions a day.
