Well its very early days, however we have hit number one spot for the key word term ‘digital media works’ in MSN live search and are currently fifth in Yahoo. We are nowhere in Google at this stage, but I think that will all change within the next six weeks (based on googles crawl rate). So our content needs to be all present and correct within that time frame, keywords need to be optimised as each page is completed. 

This morning I have added a sitemap.xml document to the root of the website. This, as the name suggests, provides search engines with a detailed map of the pages in the site along with data regarding when they where last updated etc. You can read more on sitemaps at the sitemaps page.

I have also submitted the sitemap to google for crawling and indexing, however I have no idea of when the googlebot will arrive to do its work. You can read more about googlebot on our google page.

I have finally found the time, between client jobs, to bring my own site up to date. There is still plenty of work to do and lots of SEO work to get it noticed however it now looks as though somebody lives here….

My plan is to take an hour a day to get the content up to scratch and plan my SEO campaign. Then to run that campaign over a three month period, keeping a log right here of the progress.

Stay tuned for updates.
