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?
