Random Search Engine Optimization Musings and other ActiveRain, Facebook and Google Trivia
Audit your blog posts lately? Since I am taking a break from serial commenting in the Rain I thought I'd pick a few of my posts and see how their stats are coming along. Turned out to be mad fun! Check these statistics out:
If you put in the phrase "Wordy C" out of 452,000 results I hold the top three positions on page one of Google. Yay! The Margaret Rome interview at Norma's is number one. How cool is that? Very!
Try the Jewish term, "Yotveta." Out of 2,020 results the Outside Blog Minion Report came in at position seven. Cool. :-)
Remember me spoofing on my kids on the ActiveRain group AR Cartoon Network? If you put in the phrase, "Life With Wee People" out of 1,730,000 results the little minions hold the top position. Nice... My shorties are doing very well across the blogosphere (LOL). ;-)
Here are the three that really boggled my mind:
If you put in the term "Club Chaos" out of 16,400,000 results our team blog ClubChaosAgents.com is in position seven and The Active Rain Group Club Chaos is in position eleven. Wow... The bay-bays are holding down two spots on page one of Google. Kudos and congrats guys. YOU ROCK! You're kicking SEO a$$ and I am loving it. ;-)
I saved the best two for last. Try the phrase "all things Israeli." Out of 60,900,000 results the Outside Blog Minion Report comes in at position six on page one of Google.
Still think upgrading your membership package is a waste of time and money? Seriously? My inside, outside and team blogs ROCK. My Facebook fan page for the Outside Blog Minion Report is no slouch either. Put in the term "Outside Blog." In FB it's full of my Localism covers and links back to each article. Out of 82,900,000 results the Outside Blog Minion Report Facebook fan page holds steady at position number ten on page one of Google.
By the way, I could use some help getting more business fans. Please consider fanning the OBMR FB project here. We need a minimum of 100 fans on our FB business pages.
Localism is the hot-diggity-bomb. You really need to be there... Seriously. You also need to set up your fan pages on Facebook because quality link love is the name of the game people. Here are some of my fave FB fan pages. Please feel to go join them and add your Facebook fan pages in the comments section so we can discover your business pages.
July 1, 2009 UPDATE: Looks like we need 1000 fans on our Facebook business pages. You know what that means... time to turn on, crank up and jack the Club Chaos guerrilla marketing machine (LOL). Gotta get my bay-bays their vanity URLs. Stay tuned for our next link love project. This one is going to be a doooooosey (LMAO).
July 3, 2009 UPDATE: How could you not love blogging on ActiveRain? If you put in the term "random SEO musings" We're number one on page one of Google out of 723,000 results. If you put in the term "SEO musings" ths post shows up in the third position on page one of Google out of 251,000 results! You guys ROCK! Let's get the baybays all fanned up while I figure out how to create a Club Chaos SEO Bootcamp for you people. Our next project is Google Domination. We're going to give a whole new meaning to the phrase networked blogs (LOL). ;-)

C - In the past few days I've been getting requests to join fan pages from several of my AR friends and had no idea what it was about. What am I missing here?
Connie, we have a shot at obtaining our own vanity URLs. Very important. Think of it as instead of being Facebook.com/9856788263547T2DDF I would become Facebook.com/CTannStarr.
Which is easier to send someone to? Which is easier to remember? :-)
CTann, I got my 100 fans but can't figure out how to get my vanity URL.
Do you have a clue ?
Looks like I need to look into FB and learn to understand all the different pages.
Great! I see many have their URLs now :)
Missy, I will go over and take a look. I have a few links missing from my page. Curious...
Rebecca, the business pages can be very useful. :-)
Susan, it's coming along, but a few of us haven't figured out how to convert to the vanity URLs yet.
Sounds like you're doing great out there on the net. I always like to see what off the wall terms you can type in Google and what comes up.
I got my vanity URL on my personal Facebook page (TulsaRealtor), but thought we had to have 1,000 fans on our business page in order to apply for a vanity URL. Will be waiting for clarification. Thanks for a great post!
I could use some help to my friend, Thanks!
JL, I am having a field day (LOL).
Lori, first they said 25, then they said 100 and now I have to go back over there again (LOL).
Jeannette, my love, added you to the blog roll and fanned up. ;-)
Just fanned Sandra Cummings. Cool. I may be updating this post for a while (LOL). My list is growing. :-)
Holy smokes! I was just cruisin' along over here to see what my ol' friend C Tann-Starr has been up to and there I am listed in your very own research page! How awesome are you? Thanks for the kudos doll! You are the best! I love your rankings. You seem like you are having fun with it!
Missy, it wasn't easy, I will see if I can remember and let you know if you haven't figured it out already!
CTS, go here: http://www.facebook.com/username to get your page's URL. While you're over there, you can find me at http://www.facebook.com/WestBankLiving :) What a great round up and a wonderful way to support each other!!
Hey bay-bay. I just fanned Chris Elizabeth and am having fun in Twitter and FB yelling for more fan links. We're going to play a neat game on Sunday Cristal, but first I gotta get my business pages from Club Chaos and the rest of my friends on the roll (LOL). My brick and mortars are coming out to play with my virtual peeps on Sunday. This should get very interesting (LMAO).
Lisa, my love, thank you. Gonna go fan you up right now. :-)
Oh my... I feel so honored to make the list. Thank You So Much !
Ok, I just clicked every name and fanned all the pages - great idea
Thanks Carolyn for the shout out on my Lizette Realty fan page on Facebook. I need about 75 more fans to get my URL. Calling all fans...come join in!
Roland, you are very welcome, sweetie.
Jo, you ROCK girlfriend! ;-)
Lizette, my love, we gonna get 'em. It's going to be mad fun too. The brick and mortars are coming out to play with me on Sunday. We're going to play a game of random gifts for random fans (LOL). I'm collecting the gifts. Our next Gigglefest Social Media 2.0 should be a blast because we plan on giving them away there. We are way overdue for another one of those. I may hold a breakfast, lunch or dinner at Yotveta. I love their food. Kosher dairy ROCKS! They have the most divine sauces... makes me want to re-learn how to cook. Seriously (LOL). I am working my way through the menu... ;-)
Just fanned up Lisa, Mana, Jan and Adam. Lots of fun stuff going on in FB right now (LOL) ;-)
Ooooo... Twitter peeps are arriving. Thank you, tweet-peeps. ;-)
CTS - this must have taken you forever to research. Thank you for the mention. We made it tonight! :D
Awesome! Kristin, I am going to have some fun with this on Sunday. ;-)
http://www.facebook.com/ActiverainCorp :-))
Thanks for including my page in your list. I have been out of the loop for a bit but need to get back in. You seem to be having too much fun without me...
BTW - the rank for all things Israeli is great.
Ooooo. Brad, thank you for reminding me. How on earth did I leave that page off? Duh??? (LOL)
Josef, we have to go to Yotveta for Gigglefest. I love their food. Oh my word... it's a treat. ;-)
Going down the list, any reciprocation much appreciated! Thanks.

Great creative idea! We'd love to be added to the list... thanks for sharing your creative mind with the rest of us!

I hit everyone I think. Heaven help you if my email starts overflowing with spam... No good deed goes unpunished?
OMG, no good deed indeed. I may have to disable my FB notifications. Thank you, Irene (LOL).
Thank you, Marianne.

This cool: If you put in the phrase "Wordy C" out of 452,000 results I hold the top three positions on page one of Google. Yay! The Margaret Rome interview at Norma's is number one. How cool is that? Very!
Hope you win something yummy!
Margaret, that made my day big time. I was spoofing and my eye got big and round (LMAO). Ooooo Google Candy... (LOL) ;-)
Margaret, do you have a business fan page? Let me know so I can join and post it. :-)

You are all over it. Thanks you for taking the time to do this.
Lane, you are very welcome. :-)
The two re-blogs made page one of Google (ROTFLMAO).
OK.. I'm dragging here.. only 36 fans ???Anyone willing to help boost me to 100 ?
I am now a fan! Thanks for adding me to the list. Hopefully, we can all get our fan pages up and moving with great SEO.
Roland, we're working on it. I have been criss crossing link love all over cyberspace. Nothing like a little help from your friends (not to mention a re-blog or two - LOL). My Google alerts have lost their mind. RSS feeds are a beautiful thing (LMAO). 25% of the crew is over two hundred. I'm promoting yall like crazy. I helped to open 112 Facebook accounts in three days. How cool is that? VERY!!! :-)
Thank you, Christine! This has been a blast and starts the beginning of a very interesting networked blogs relationship (LOL). I have silly but serious plans... We're going to have a fun summer shaking up our page rank placements. I'm working on our version of SEO bootcamp (LOL). Imagine the possibilities... :-D
