This is the first part of my “how to blog – blog challenge” – in which I am working on raising the position of one of my blogs within the search engine for a major keyword. I am getting started by checking my keyword phrase ranking in the search engines.
This blog started as a way to keep me motivated and because friends were keeping an eye on my weight loss but now I have lost 30lbs and am sharing how I did it I have decided to make it one of my 10 30 blogs – a technique taught at Blog Success.
The keyword is weight loss and after checking my blogs position right now it is not found for that keyword. I used the same site to check for a keyword I knew I am being found for on another blog to make sure it worked and it did.
The results on all the search engines was the same – N/F – which I am assuming is not found – and I am not sure how many pages it checks to but most of them check 100 pages. So I am no place to be found in the top 100 blogs for that keyword as of today September 6th.
Here’s an image – the site that I used is here http://www.further.co.uk/tools/search-position-check/
I received the same result for the keyword phrases “Lose weight” too and “how to lose weight”
My aim is to make an income from this blog promoting the Diet Solution which is a weight management program that I used myself to help me and a metabolic typing book from Amazon which doesn’t bring in much of an income. I may also add adsense but am not a big fan of it on blogs so will reserve that one for now.
The Diet Solution program is my main income earner as it provides approx $25 per sale. For the keyword Diet Solution I appeared in one search engine only Yahoo UK.
So all in all there is some work to do here to get ranked in the UK so I am sure its not even worth checking worldwide! I am not going to turn this into an authority blog - it will always just share what I did to lose weight and hopefully that will be enough to help people who read it.
