Personal Challenge: Get Better Rankings For “Tino”
Over my web developer/SEO(er) career I have optimised many of my websites for a vast number of keywords.
A couple of months ago I have noticed through my web analytics stats that someone reached my website when searched for ‘Tino‘ on Google. When I checked the SERPs, this website were ranking for tino at the following positions:
SE Rankings for ‘tino’ on 03 November 2007
- Google.co.uk - 35th
- Google.com - N/A
- Yahoo.com - 153th
- Yahoo.co.uk - N/A
I have then decided to take on a little challenge of my own: to reach Google and Yahoo 1st page 
and share my experience with you.
Please note: I’m not at all trying to foolish search engines with this experiment, seeing that Tino is my name it makes perfect sense ranking well for that keyword because friends and previous clients may try to find me using that keyword.
Well, as it stands now I have managed to improve my rankings a little bit:
SE Rankings for ‘tino’ on 17 December 2007
- Google.co.uk - 14th
- Google.com - N/A
- Yahoo.com - 58th
- Yahoo.co.uk - 217th
It’s not bad but not first page yet :-). I have achieved this mainly with on page optimisation, some reciprocal linking and other off page optimisation techniques.
Have you got any other suggestions?

What kind of off site optimization did you go at?
Not that I believe I can share any new technique, but it will be nice to hear how a pro does it.

Maybe join a link exchange program ? I know it works wonders if you do it right…

I have already joined a link exchange program. I do get a lot of irrelevant link requests though.
I have mainly did social media optimisation and directory submissions. It worked well!
It reached position #4 in google and #9 in Yahoo!
It dropped after a month or 2 though. Standing at 46 in google and 20 in yahoo!
This was just an experiment, to see what factors work best. Very please with the results.

I would improve your page optimization.Get your name in the title and write “Tino” several times more on your website.
What “off page” techniques have you used?
