Daniel Kertcher Ranking campiagn

I wrote a blog about Daniel Kertcher last week in an attempt to get it ranked for the phrase "Daniel Kertcher".  I had previously managed to get a mate ranked for the phrase "Absolute Legend" and thought this would be as easy.

It is proving more difficult that I thought.  After "digg"ing the first postand waiting for a response from Google it only ranked 91 in google.com.au search. (5/8/2009).  This is unacceptable so I will try another post about Daniel Kertcher and see how this post ranks.

Daniel Kertcher of Platinum Pursuits is one of the new clients we have taken on recently at Stewart Media.  The Platinum Pursuits account is an exciting opportunity for me to sharpen my strategic skills.  It will be great to work with Daniel Kertcher and his team.

I look forward to hearing Daniel Kertcher speak as I have heard he is an amazing communicator.

One of the fun things about working in SEO is the games you can play with the search engines.  Zappo the Clown is a nickname that has been given to one of the guys (George Stamoulis) who has discovered the joys of static electricity recently.

George is wandering around the office and "shocking" us all the time, not with his behavior or lewd jokes rather with his pent up static charges.  He thinks this is hilarious and laughs like a clown, hence the name Zappo the Clown.

So the challenge has been laid down to get him ranked for this phrase.  We will see.

Absolute Legend Luke Holt from the Morning Wake-Up on Melbourne radio station Light FM has been challenged by his collegues to rank for the phrase "absolute legend".  He has been working to improve the rankings for lightfm.com.au and has been implementing quite a bit of SEO work to make this happen.

I am happy to say that after implimenting SEO to his Joomla site he is starting to rank for alot of additional content on the site.  Previous to his campaign he only ranked for phrases related to the company name and not for internal content.  He is also getting all the shows to write content with more descriptive titles creating more phrases to rank for.

So lets hope he can meet the challenge and rank for absolute legend. He has made one error that I have told him about and by the time you read this it may have been changed.  He used the anchor text "Absolute Legend Google search challenge" in the footer of the whole site and as such ranks 4 & 5 in google au search for this phrase.  It shows the importance of choosing your anchor text, and for the matter <h1> phrases, correctly and loading them with the phrases you want to rank for.

Very interesting to see how two different companies spend their advertising dollar.  Two companies that do Video Conversions in Melbourne yet with very different marketing techniques.  I am sure both are successful companies that are happy with their methods and I am in no way criticising either just making comment. 

I saw this ad in my adsense box at the top of my page today (remember if you like the article and see something you like click on the ads and help me pay the bills;-0) and I though, my mate Jim at Stewart Media would be appalled.  A phrase like this should be easy to optimise for therefore not paying for advertising.  http://www.blackdogenterprises.com.au pay attention, I might be able to save you some money!!
