My “New York SEO” Ranking on Google
November of 2007, I went to New York for my very first time. Besides having the time of my life, I didn’t notice much SEO buzz while I was out there (maybe I was doing the wrong things). I searched magazines, billboards, community event centers, calendars, etc. Not once did I hear of a SEO. Then I went to check out the competition on the SERP’s for terms relating to New York and internet marketing. The competition was weak. One night with some friends and my girlfriend, we all came to the conclusion that my girlfriend and I should move to New York city. I mean, we were having the time of our lives and in the world’s greatest city. Why not move out there? So without thinking about finances and my dedication to my job here in San Diego, I decided to create JameSEO.com in effort to rank high for New York SEO and any variation of it just in case we decided to make the move.
For the majority of 2008, JameSEO.com was #1 for the term ‘new york seo‘. This can pay tribute to naming my blog “New York SEO” in a couple blog directories and to my ‘I Love New York‘ Flickr account. I figured if I take a ton of New York pictures and titled them New York something with a new york seo link in every picture’s description, I would be able to compete. So I did just that. Of course, Flickr decided to nofollow their links right after this, however that didn’t seem to make a difference as far as relevance goes, maybe for Pagerank though.
