Why does my lousy little blog Rank number 1 on Google?
-
Search "Google Places Changes."
My Blog, www.salesjumpstart.net/blog is ranked first. Has been for a week. Why? Makes no sense. I have been getting many first page Google results for 3 and 4 word keyword searches. The site or Blog just isn't that strong.

Interesting. However, as Ryan points out you still have perhaps the best content, and only slightly below Google for "change" - nice work.

Chnage the Title to "change" from "changes". Now ranked 2nd for Change, and 5th for changes.

Thanks Boulder! I used the browser in Natural search, so it shows what the national results are.
I just changed the title to the singular to see if that changes the ranking.

I may change the title to the singular and see if that changes the ranking. I am sure it well... right?

Thanks Ryan... right on the Mark n this one. The site does well in Bing and Yahoo, I just think it takes them (it) a while longer to get the individual pages index. I will add and see. You are truly one of the Guru's on here.

After checking the various SEO factors there is one glaring difference between your page and 8 of the other 9 results on the first page.
Your page is one of only two results that actually uses the phrase in your content.
The only other page to do so is the YouTube result who's total content is 3 sentences. I am willing to be if the YouTube result offered a transcript, it would outrank your page.
I checked Bing/Yahoo. Your site is indexed in both of their results but the page is not. It would be interesting to see if you submitted the page to Bing in WMT how it would ultimately rank.

Good long authoritative sounding post and showed for me as I'm in Boulder and you are in Denver - have you tried searches from other geo proxies?
A couple other things to consider:
-
Google loves fresh content - as long as the article keeps getting traffic/attention it will stay, update us in another 30 days
-
You do rank for "google places changes", but are no where for "google places change" so it is all about the long tail as I'm sure you know....

That particular page has a pagerank of 2 and I would believe a few links. Good post by the way.

Guest Blogging
If I am looking to guest blog for back links, do I need to reciprocate and provide guest blogging opportunities for them on my site? OR is it better to ask other site's to link to articles on my client's page with the understanding I will link to their page (if they are not competition)? I am trying to do some link building for a bankruptcy lawyer and I am considering possibly searching out guest blogging in different cities/states. Bankruptcy is primarily a federal matter, so reaching out to neighboring states. Not sure the client will be interested in this or not, but it's something I am considering. A lot of law firms have contact information Thanks everyone!

Handling duplicate content in Blogs
Many wordpress themes like mine have a homepage where the last 3 to 4 posts are displayed on the frontpage. Each post also has its own url where the post are shown seperately. How do I avoid beeing seen as duplicate content by Google?

Company Blog Killing our Rankings?
Our product is organic, eco, natural etc. Our blog covers organic, eco, natural culture. Sounds like a winner right? But what if we sold jars and our blog rarely talked about jars because jars are Boring? In webmaster tools, our keyword significance for the word organic is ranked 1st but for the word jars we're ranked 41st . Should i be placing our blog on a subdomain to make sure Google starts placing more emphasis on our jars? ie content on our site rather than content on our blog?

Blog at blogspot
Hi My website provider doesnt yet have the function to integrate blog under my domain name so the blog is at blogspot. Inevitably there will be quite some links going from blog to differnet pages on my site. I havent yet incorporated a clickable link from my homepage to blog. I am not sure wether to do this or not. Will this just reduce the value of the links going from the blog ? Thanks
