I was in and out of the Number 1 position for seo singapore since my last post on Ranked 1st for SEO Singapore. And I think it’s alright for my ego as long as I am in the top 5.
This week, the last week of Year 2007, this blog was demoted to #3 and #4. LarryLim.net came up number 1 after vanishing from the top 10 for several weeks. And I was thinking what happened to my friend…
I loved Sunday. I believe this is the day when Google like to mess with the search engine ranking and I get my momentary fame. Finally, my big day has come, this blog is ranked Number 1 for the search terms: seo singapore! on Sunday, 25 November 2007.
Is this an early Christmas gift from Google?
Thank you, thank you, thank you….
I have just uploaded a video testimonial on SEO Web Design Course recorded 2 days ago. This video featured Terence Yap of BPI Technology (S) Pte Ltd who attended the SEO Web Design Course on 6 Oct 2007.
Terence registered a new domain and created a new site,
www.MoldReleaseNanoTechnology.com to test out what he learned at the course. To cut the story short, his new site was ranked in the first page of Google for his targeted keywords within 2 weeks. He was very surprised but overjoyed with the results.
After reading Kian Ann’s amazing feat on getting into Google’s 1st Page in 17 minutes, I started a series of experiments to test if such results are reproducible. Yes. I managed to repeat the results again and again.
So far, the fastest result I obtained was 13 minutes for a 7-terms phrase. My newest test done less than an hour ago with the search terms sph search, got into the 8th position in about 19 minutes.
“I am pessimistic about the long-term prospects for SEO jobs”
- Jakob Nielsen, the web usability expert.
In a special report published by ZDNet, Bright SEO career prospects could dim, two experts gave their views on the career prospect of SEO consultants.
It was reported that SEO is such a fundamental skill that every marketing executive and IT specialist should be SEO-savvy.
This blog has been gaining visibility in Google lately. Beside rising in position for the search terms seo singapore, the home page is now ranked 7th for the keyword seo.
My homepage, ShiHengCheong.com and this blog is now ranked Number 2 and Number 3 in Google.com.sg for the search terms seo singapore.
This blog had been in the 5th and 6th positions for more than 6 months and I was satisfied with the ranking. So getting to 2nd and 3rd position is really a pleasant surprise for me.
So how come the ranking improved?
Kelvin Hui, the web traffic expert based in Hong Kong, thinks that I am one of the SEO experts in Singapore. Honestly, I am flattered.
Thank you for the mention, Kelvin.
He mentioned 4 names in his blog post dated June 26, 2007. My friend Larry Lim is at the top of the list.
It was discussed at WebmasterWorld and reported by Matt Cutts’ Udi Manber interview that Google has 10,000 human evaluators to check the relevancy of their search results.
It was an open secret that Google has been using human evaluators to “clean out” their results since 2-3 years ago. But the revelation of the actual number is surprising. I mean 10,000 people working for Google, full-time or part-time, to check on Google search results is not very believable. I am sure at least 1 out of the 10,000 would have leaked this piece of secret before the VP of Engineering at Google announced publicly.
We brought forward the date of the next SEO Web Design Workshop to June 28 and 29 instead of the first week of July. This coming SEO Workshop will be different from the previous one.
