It’s early days and the traffic I’m seeing on my London 2012 Games site is super small, but yesterday I got my first visitors from Google using my targeted keywords and a few long tail terms to boot.
I’m currently on page two of both Google.com and Google.co.uk for ‘london 2012 games’ and it has come about 3 months sooner than expected which is great. I’m also at number one (ahead of the official site) for a couple of long tail search terms to do with specific sports so that’s pretty great too.
I only launched the site a couple of weeks ago so this might just be one of those flash in the pan promising starts that will fizzle out later on (a la Microsoft’s search engine) but I am definitely encouraged and motivated to get my site to the first page for my main search terms and to continue to add content.
I just wanted to give a quick update. I will be paying close attention to this site’s rankings and SEO stuff, tweaking some things and reporting what I think works and doesn’t work. Having my site indexed and ranking in two weeks is a promising start but there’s a lot more to do if I’m going to turn the site into a moneymaking machine before the 2012 Olympics.
