Post Penguin Recovery

May 16th, 2012

After the Penguin Update, my main site for search engine optimization in Swedish (sokmotoroptimering.nu) has dropped from the first position to 11. Recovery up to position 7 has already been made at the time of writing. Now I need to even out the anchor text mix and give it more powerful links in order to compensate for all the bookmarks and profile links. This blog post is part of that and I plan to be number one on the Swedish word for search engine optimization in a matter of 2-3 months.

Ceasing To Exist

September 3rd, 2009

The search engine optimization activity previously taking place on this site will in the future be conducted by the SEO Labs. The new site is in Swedish but will get a section in english too when it has grown in size.

Another Swedish site that I will be working with is körkort.se. A site about taking a driver’s license, or as we say in Sweden: körkort. It’s a site for people that want to get their driver’s license faster and with less effort.

SEO Test 11: .com vs .net vs .info

July 22nd, 2009

Status: In Progress
Indexed: com:July 23,org -,net,July 24,info:-
Top 10:
fulldragon.com at pos 2 25th of  July
fulldragon.net at pos 3  26th of July
fulldragon.info at pos 10 28th of July
fulldragon.org at pos 5 3rd of August

Update August 5: All sites are now parked on the first page. The main problem now is that there are YouTube and image results on what appears to be place 2, 3 and 4, so my sites appear at positions 5,6,7 and 8 instead of 2,3,4 and 5. According to first page click share estimates, my sites now get 15% of the clicks instead of the 31% I would get if those results were not there. The top placement alone would give more that all my sites in either case, though.

The idea to once and for all find out how big of a difference the .com, .org, .net and .info top domains will cause in the search results came when I was buying the .com domain for fulldragon and the registrar flashes me a promotion to get 60% off for the other top domains. I fell for their offer and decided to do an interesting test. The term full dragon is a very common search term among Runescape players and it also has some decent competition so a good placement does not come for free. According to Google it has 2,900 searches per month with exact match.

Said and done, the domains are all placed on american servers and running identical wordpress installs and template. There is an article about the full dragon that was written by my collegue and it actually contains very good information that will keep visitors on the site and even appreciate the visit. In order to give the sites equal link power, I will link to them in reverse order on another site. The sites are: www.fulldragon.com, www.fulldragon.org, www.fulldragon.net and www.fulldragon.info.
