Still SERPing!

YapYapOK Free Classifieds 203k

Our Alexa is still on the down and it can only be due to site speed.  Visitor numbers, page views, ad postings are all up.  The other thing that is up since my last post on Sunday is SERP.  Whilst we figure well with Free UK Classifieds on both Google UK and Google.com.  Free Classifieds has only positioned well in Google.co.uk.

So I am delighted to announce that it is now another 8 places ahead of its position on Sunday - up to 74.  that means we only need to climb 64 places to be on page 1.  Its a lot and I am sure that getting to the top front 3 pages will be achievable quite quickly, ie another 34 spaces.  The last few will be a push. Considering that we have moved over 50 places in less than a week we are clearly satisfying Google tick list in SEO.

To put this in some ind of perspective, to enter Free Classifieds into Google.com will yield  226 million search results.  To place at position 74 is a massive success.  However it is also irrelevent in placement as far as visitors since few look beyond page 1.  This is why only a few websites really make it, particularly in such a highly competitive industry.  To have a unique industry where placement is easier for dream keywords.  The problem with unique is that fewer people browse for them.
