I haven't touched the blog or the site for nearly 2 weeks, and I still appear in 7th place on Google, if you do a search for "freelance artworker" :)
Looks like all my groundwork has paid off - although I will try and keep both up-to-date from time-to-time :)
One thing I noticed, Firefox and Chrome's results now tally up the same, but Safari's is still different (I appear on page 4 there, and my pinterest page features higher up the ranking than my actual website - oh well, at least it's on the radar!)

Success on Google! Top ten position! Number 4!
On my previous blog, I stated on 28th December, that I wanted to get my website into the top ten on Google, if you searched for "freelance artworker", as I was languishing at position 50-to-60-something...
10 days later, I've done it! My site is in the top ten...riding high at number 4!
I know it won't stay there on it's own...I'll have to keep working on my site, and making sure I keep my blog up-to-date - as content is king!
For some tips and advice on how I did it, please read the previous posts on this blog, and my previous blog
I guess that the only thing I can do, to try and top this - apart from keep it in the top ten - is to improve it's position...and one thing I haven't figured out is why Safari, Firefox and Chrome all have different results? Maybe because Chrome is Google's, it's more up-to-date? Personally, I prefer to use Firefox, so maybe my results are based on the cache...I might need to clear it.

Sitemap
I've set myself a goal, to try and get my test website listed in the top ten results on Google, when you do a search for "freelance artworker"...on thing I noticed is that, although I have a sitemap on there, Google's webmaster tool didn't see it, so I have generated one and pointed Google to it...
Hopefully, this will improve my ranking, and promote me up to the 1st page!
