Bigger Nerd Than You
Just for the sake of argument, I thought I’d drop a quick post in this particular blog about being a being a bigger nerd than you or for that matter, pretty much anyone else I know.
I did a quick Facebook post about 10 minutes ago and am now timing how long it takes for this term to get indexed and ranked by the mighty Google (update, it took 6 minutes from posting this and after 2 days, I’m now #1 in all Google regions as being a “bigger nerd than you“). For those of you that have stumbled on this blog, I’ve been ranked #1 (as well as #2) as the “smartest guy on the web” since last January. How? or perhaps more appropriately – WHY? because it was a way to prove to myself (and clients) that ranking for pretty much any term in Google is not that difficult – once you know how. Obviously these terms are more for “fun” and as I mentioned – testing. However, apply the same theory and “MacGyver’ing” to such terms as…. oh.. I dunno…. auto insurance? debt financing? how to lose weight?… see what I’m talkin about… For those of you that are indeed “web nerds” and have any knowledge of how the Google AdWords system works (and now Apple’s new iAd network) – those terms are worth millions of dollars A DAY to people who monetize that traffic… Kinda makes you *think* doesn’t it? Do you think guys (vendors) that rank in positions #1 thru #3 on product launch terms make a good living? ummm… yah… they do… I know many of them… It would scare you what these guys make in a month… actually no, what they make in a DAY would scare you and you probably wouldn’t even believe me if I told you.
Anyway, there’s a heck of a lot of factors involved for Google’s search algorithm and the days of keyword stuffing and forum/blog splogging or flogging are loooooong gone. What most so-called SEO (search engine optimization) “experts” don’t realize is, the methods and systems they are trying to sell you for $1,000 per keyword listing are essentially a joke and definitely not long term strategies. There’s a reason I’m still ranked #1 for that term and it’s been a year since I wrote that post. You can even see other “professional SEO’s” trying to beat me out of the #1 and #2 position the entire time – and they haven’t been able to do it yet… I won’t get into the details as to why – but let’s just say it’s a combination of really simple logic yet very complicated latent semantic indexing as described by the patents found here and here.
Point of the matter is – I’ve studied this stuff… at length… and for a long time…
So does that make me a bigger nerd than you? I’ll let you decide
