On August 31st, 2008, we started building a new sales page for the release of our new service to help people get top rankings in Google. We officially launched that program on September 1st, 2008.
You might note that this post is dated September 5th, 2008. That means that our sales page has been live for just four days.
Now, it must be noted that as soon as we turned the web page on - live to the public - we started the process of implementing Karma SEO to promote this web page.
It took Google roughly 36 hours for Google to actually crawl and cache the web page. And within another 36 hours, our web page started breaking into Page One of Google’s results for many of our target keywords!
Without telling you are targeted keywords, I will show you how we rank for those target search terms.
It is always a challenge to do this, because if I tell you the exact keywords that we use, then our competitors could find this page and force us to compete more aggressively for the search phrases we are currently ranking well.
We made that mistake one time. We gave up one targeted search phrase with which we comfortably held the number one spot in Google for six years. We gave it up, in order to prove to people that we were actually targeting strongly competitive keywords, so that they would have a better appreciation of our ability to do this for others.
Within only two months, our competitors aggressively targeted the search term we exposed. As a result, we dropped to page two of Google’s search results. Since then, we have managed to aggressively pursue that search term again and elevate ourselves back to #5.
As you can probably imagine, that experience taught us never to expose our targeted keyword phrases in a public forum.
So, for this new page we built for our website, where we actually advertise our Karma SEO Service, we have reached Page One of Google’s search rankings on competitive keyword phrases in only 3 days (as of yesterday).
Keyword Phrase #1 - two words - #3 in Google of 22 million results
Keyword Phrase #2 - four words - #3 in Google of 56,000 results
Keyword Phrase #3 - four words - #3 in Google of 57,000 results
Keyword Phrase #4 - four words - #6 in Google of 83,000 results
Keyword Phrase #5 - two words - #3 in Google of 28,000 results
Keyword Phrase #6 - three words - #9 in Google of 373,000 results
Keyword Phrase #7 - five words - #3 in Google of 457,000 results
Keyword Phrase #8 - three words - #3 in Google of 511,000 results
Keyword Phrase #9 - three words - #1 in Google of 725,000 results
Keyword Phrase #10 - two words - #3 in Google of 2 million results
This is a decent range of keywords with good rankings, after only three days playing the field. But this is a new program. The question most people will have is whether we can maintain those high rankings for these specific search terms after 30 days, 60 days, or one year.
We already know the answer to that question, and in 30 days, 60 days, and one year, you will know too.
On June 10th, 2008, we entered the most recent SEO Contest for the search phrase “blackhat fish“. We had gone up against more than 200,000 pages aimed at qualifying as winners in that contest. At the close of the 30-day contest, challenging some of the greatest minds in SEO, we finished the contest 25 days after we started in the #11 spot of Google’s search results for the target search term. Three days after the contest had ended, we reached #5 and continued to bounce between #3 and #5 for the next 60 days.
But, on a check just now, our web page was in the #1 for both “blackhat fish” and “black hat fish“. Of course, it was my intention to target both the two-word and three-word version of the search phrase. I tried to think ahead as to how people would “remember” the target search term and type it into Google for checking. I figured most would remember the proper “blackhat fish”, but others might remember it as “black hat fish”, so I made sure we ranked for both.
So here we are, 90 days out from the start of our attempt to rank for the challenged keyword phrase “blackhat fish”, and we are firmly sitting in the #1 spot in Google. Therefore, I am confident that in 90 days time, we will retain the high rankings we have already achieved for the afore referenced search terms, or perhaps even improve upon what we have already accomplished.
One year from now, we will still own “blackhat fish” and the unnamed keywords that we are now on Page One of Google for. I know this, without any hesitation, because I own #1 on lots of search terms, and some of those #1’s, I have held firmly for years.
We can do the same for you, if you order our Karma SEO Service. While our service may not be for everyone, it is a service that many will be able to appreciate and use.
It is like I say on our sales page…
We don’t have to pay Google for traffic…
They give it to US for FREE!

Karma SEO is a search engine marketing strategy that is offered at on our other website, LinksAndTraffic.com.
In essence, Karma SEO is a principle based on the concept of Karma, which is defined as “what comes around, goes around”.
People have always said that the point of Link Building is to build Link Popularity to the web pages on ones’ website. But, unless you are buying links, Link Popularity is hard to predict or replicate.
When one uses a Link Building Method such as Article Marketing, all articles on placed on new web pages, which because they are new web pages, they have no Link Popularity and no Google PageRank.
For several years, we have known that the best way to ensure that our websites gain the Link Popularity that we desire, then we need to ensure that the web pages linking to our web pages gain their own Link Popularity and PageRank. On this realization, we started a campaign to make sure that most every page that links to our web pages will gain its own Link Popularity for the sake of the search engines.
Many people find this an undesirable approach, because it means that they are spending some of their limited marketing budget to build Link Popularity for their online friends.
But the beauty in this concept is that when you are helping your friends, you are helping yourself. By taking pro-active measures to ensure that your friends have Link Popularity, you are ensuring that they will have more Link Popularity to share with you.
We have been using this technique for our own websites for several years. And as of September 2, 2008, we now offer the same service to our customers, under a Pay-For-Performance SEO Service that enables our customers to pay us according to how successful we are at getting our customers ranked in the Google Search Results.
