1st on Google – Week 13

April 23, 2012 by Alan R Leave a Comment

1st on Google - Week 13 Update - Images search for Alan Reeves result - 1stWelcome back to my journey to being 1st on Google. This is the lucky (or unlucky) 13th update if you believe in that sort of thing.  If you missed the first few posts, you can find the first one here, 12th Week update here (last week), and the ones in between on my Project page. Below are the results as of Sunday, 04-22-12 (click here to do your own search):

  • #5 – My LinkedIn profile (no change from last week at #15)
  • #16 – The About Me page from my personal blog, BlueCapra.com, with picture (down 4 places from last week at #12)
  • #21 – My profile on Vimeo – check out my video series Can You Etch It (up 6 place from last week at #27)
  • #49 – BlueCapra.com tag page; posts tagged ‘Alan Reeves’ (down 11 places from last week at #38)
  • #52 – The post, How Would You Use a MeTag™? from CoachRadio.tv about one of my laser engraving products, the MeTag™ (down 2 places from last week at #50)
This week I am at #5, same as last week.  The links occupying the top 4 spots include IMDb, Wikipedia (twice), and LinkedIn, all with way high page rank.  My first occurrence is at #5 and overall, my top 5 results decreased 11 places.  I showed up 10 times in the top 100 search results which is up 1 from last week.  It does seem that the results can fluctuate a great deal week to week (sometimes referred to as the Google dance) but the same big sites are showing up time and time again.
