The Blog of the Evil Jermil Sadler

I’m Number One

Number One!

I defeated that dude with my name that plays football and thought he could take the number one spot on the google search for jermil.

I noticed it over the weekend when I saw that someone came to my blog because they google searched my wicked name. I was surprised that they went down to number 4 or 5 beyond those football player results. I did the search myself to see if maybe I had moved up at all. To my surprise, I was alllllllll the way up to numero uno!

One of the things I did was update my about page. I think by actually putting intelligent, interesting content on there and more people going to that page boosted my ranking.

Also, I’ve had new visitors to my blog lately. And I’ve been commenting on the ones that I’ve been reading. So my name and website are a few extra places on the internet and google is giving me props.

I also posted about a wider range of topics. That’s easy for me to do since I don’t have a niche for my blog. I just post about the things that happen to me and I think I do things that don’t relate to each other. That probably won’t help a lot of bloggers since most blogs are about one particular topic. The next couple of blogs that I start will be have a niche so I can take time to learn about different things. They’ll be about things that I know a little bit about and want to know more. In order to write about it, I need to know about it right?

I did a couple more things as well to get myself back to number one. If you want help, shoot me an email or leave a comment here and I’ll tell you.

Jermil Martin: Good Football Player, Better First Name Holder

Subscribe to the RSS feed

Jermil Martin is probably a very nice gentleman. However, I know very little about him. The only thing I know is that he plays football, has my first name, and stole the #1 google search result for jermil.

Jermil Martin not Jermil Sadler

Not only that, at one point he had results 1-4! A financial planner with an awesome name had #5. And I was stuck in oblivion for a search on MY OWN NAME at #6.

Something had to be done.

I looked up ways to improve search engine results for a specific word or phrase. Most bloggers use it for their own blogs about whatever topic they write on. They call it Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of books have been written on SEO and there’s a bucketful of information on the interwebs.

If you want to know how to get your lasagna lovers blog up to #1 in a google search for lasagna lovers, look into SEO and you lasagna lovers can UNITE!!!

But back to the topic…

Jermil Martin stole my top ranking in google from me! Jermil Sadler wants it back.
