SEO EXPERIMENT - The coolest guy on the planet, Mike Filsaime ?
Copyright 2005 MikeFilsaime.com, Inc.
Dear SEO Enthusiast,
There is a reason why this article is called - SEO EXPERIMENT - The coolest guy on the planet, Mike Filsaime ? It is a reality show live internet marketing experimnet and you can participate now live be reading and checking the stats daily.
In fact there is a reason why I have it listed in the title and in the first line of this article. There are also reasons why I mention it many times in the article next to my name.
This article is a case study in progress. You see, I met up great top SEO genius. his name is B r a d F a l l o n. (Reason for spaces below.)
I will refer to him as BF from now on.
BF has a site for wedding favors that is ranked #1 for Google, Yahoo, and MSN for the terms wedding favors and wedding gifts. BF also has a course called stomping the search engines. It talks about the importance of getting quality links back to your site to increase your page rank and overall rank position.
Now, I Mike Filsaime, do not claim to know anything about SEO. But at the time of this article writing, Thursday, August 4th, 2005 : 11:13 PM EDT, BF is also number one for the search term:
"The coolest guy on the planet" - Go to Google.com and do a search on that phrase. I would bet he is still number one. I have seen many people slide from the 2-10 position, but BF, the SEO genius is still number 1.
You see, BF and Mike Filsaime met in Las Vegas. And we were at a casino playing Blackjack. And I heard him say to a lady dealer, I am "the coolest guy on the planet." And then he said, no really, type it in Google, and you will see bf.com I thought he was joking. But then later I saw he was not. Then I found that there is a club of SEO guru's all fighting for that #1 position for "the coolest guy on the planet." But no one could knock him off.
So I told him I was going to get the domain names and we both ran up to our rooms and I went to GoDaddy and beat him and then got an alternative domain as well. Man was he mad. But I still had to do stuff with it.
So I
wanted to try. Yes me, Mike Filsaime wanted to be "the coolest guy on the planet." So I registered two domains on July 6th, 2005.
the-coolest-guy- on- the-planet.com
and
thecoolestguyontheplanet.com
Now, the reason I am using BF and not his real name is that I am competing with him in this race to the top spot and I do not want to help his ranking. But I am using the term often in this article i.e. Mike Filsaime is The coolest guy on the planet, or The coolest guy on the planet is Mike Filsaime so that the keywords are added through out the article next to my name.
So now, 1 month later, I have the domain name, and as write this article, I am ranked as follows for :
the coolest guy on the planet
Aug. 4, 2005
Google.com - 212,000 listings
# 277 (Page 28)- the-coolest-guy- on- the-planet.com
Not listed - thecoolestguyontheplanet.com
BF #1
Aug. 4, 2005
Yahoo.com
Not listed - the-coolest-guy- on- the-planet.com
Not listed - thecoolestguyontheplanet.com
BF #3
O.K. so now, to see if articles really work and the back-links as well. I am going to post this article on my site and see if I can get links back to it by also posting it to article submission services. Then as you read this, you can see the stats above and see if we moved up.
I hope to see that this does work to improve the ranking. Then I will write another article about the results. But at least as you read this you can track it for yourself to see how well teh articles have helped make Mike Filsaime, the coolest guy on the planet.
