Live SEO test gone wrong, and right and then a bit righter (Shurely Shome Mishtake? Ed)
Funny this one. I started writing a web page on Sunday for a new niche I’m getting into, and I had an experimental SEO idea. Then I excitedly got up to aweber to tell all my subscribers about it, and then bottled it because it suddenly entered my head that I had no guarantee that this would work and even though I just wanted to get everyone involved so you could try the same thing for your own business etc. etc. I thought it would be interesting. But then, one of the kids fell over, the phone rang, the kettle boiled, John Craven said something interesting on the tellybox…you know the score.
So I didn’t send the email. I just conducted the experiment.
Then I forgot about it.
Then, after a number of huge business meetings this week and then a day teaching today, I suddenly remembered what I’d done on Sunday on the apple (I know it’s cool to call it a mac but it’s got a fucking APPLE on the front, not a raincoat) with all the kids climbing all over me wondering why I wasn’t playing Age of Empires* with them instead…
Bottom line: I’ve got a page into no.14 on Google out of 3.5million in a multi-multi-million ££ niche within 72 hours. Because this blog is not always read by people who like me, I’ll tell the rest of you what it is and how I did it at my seminar in 10 days (in the fag break). See ya then 🙂
*some of the facts about the way I actually bring my children up have been changed to protect them from the psycopaths, wankers, pervs and craphounds that stalk this site. The rest of you are very welcome.

Hi Juiie Anne
I’ve got the DVD timecode copies at home, but have not had time to review them yet. The idea of sitting through 8 hours of my ugly mutt doesn’t really appeal, but I shall set to the task over Christmas and release the work in early Januray. I’ll email everyone when they’re done.
