How to Get a #5 Ranking in Google in 14 Days Starting From Scratch

google How to Get a #5 Ranking in Google in 14 Days Starting From Scratch

Yes, it's true. I landed a brand new blog in the #5 spot in Google for a two-keyword phrase in 14 days. How'd I do it? It's simple: I chose the right domain name.

Did you know that Google gives special ranking bonuses to certain kinds of domain names? It does, and a significant bonus at that. Choosing a domain name that exactly matches the keywords you want to rank for will give your site a great head-start in the rankings. It's not a requirement for ranking well, but it does help a good bit.

In the case of the blog that I ranked #5, I purchased the domain name DietersBlog.net. I then posted 10 unique articles to the blog that I hired a ghostwriter to create for me. I didn't get any links, or do any promotion of the site at all (I'll be honest–I got distracted with some other work I was doing).

Two weeks later I checked the stats for the blog. I was happy to see that I was already getting traffic from Google, specifically for the phrase "dieter's blog." I ran the query through Google and, sure enough, my blog was ranked #5. This was in spite of the fact that there are 2.4 million competing web pages in Google's index for the phrase, and despite the fact that the other pages ranking in the top 10 had a few links into them (You do know that Google favors links above all else, right?).

I checked again today, and it's now at #7, but I also found that the blog ranks #3 for "dieters blog" (without the apostrophe). That emphasizes a side point: Google differentiates between keywords with apostrophes (possessive terms) and those just ending in s (plural terms).

So the next time you sit down to create a new site, be careful to do your keyword research before you purchase your domain name. Also, keep in mind that the "Exact Match Bonus" applies more to .com, .net and .org domain names. Avoid .info and the other less known top-level domains.

An exact-match domain name is only the first step, though. Once you have that domain name in place, you have to back it up with links to your site. "Dieter's Blog", while certainly a phrase worth ranking for, is not highly competitive, so I was able to get the ranking just on the strength of the domain name and the site's content. However, for keywords that bring a lot of traffic, you need a lot of links.

My 3WayLinks.net system automatically builds links to your site in the way that Google likes to see, helping you to rank in Google very quickly. The system has achieved thousands of top 10 rankings in Google for hundreds of webmasters, and can do the same for you. For rock-solid proof of its effectiveness, visit 3WayLinks.net now.

Have you been searching high and low for the perfect WordPress templates?

Believe me, it’s NOT that easy… Actually it IS easy to find good WordPress templates, but to find the one that is right for YOU in all ways is a huge time challenge.

That’s because there’s so many great looking templates out there. You just need to go to www.themes.wordpress.net to see that’s there’s zillions of 1-4 column WordPress themes available for you to choose from.

How to choose which one is right for you?

Well, you need to think it through and ask yourself if you want to keep things simple (1 column), or do you need the space for 2 or more columns? (The column is really just the sidebar. For example, this blog has two columns, small on the left side, and wide on the right).

Let’s look at some examples to show you how this works.

This terrific Internet marketing blog from Martin Avis uses a simple one column WordPress theme. For this blog, simplicity works well. The content is rich in value, and easy to read. (You can become so absorbed in the content that you hardly get time to look at the sidebar anyway!)

So, in this case, content is king and the simple approach works very well. However you might want to add more advertising, such as Google Adsense, or other methods, to monetize, and give your viewer more choices to explore when they click away from your blog.

Another thing to do is just to look at other blogs in your niche… If you discover a blog theme that you like, you should be able to tell in the footer (down at the bottom of the theme) whether the blogger is using WordPress or not.

If it’s a WordPress theme then more often than not there’ll be a link to the theme designer. Follow the link, download the file, and get your new WordPress blog happening.

Normally WordPress themes are free, but sometimes it’s worth buying a theme. A great example of this is the revolution theme from Brian Gardener. These themes ooze professionalism. They’re made to work, totally customizable, and they’ll make your blog beautiful.

So without any further ADO…
