Another Baseball Update..

OK I must admit that I’m guilty of starting too many projects (at least lately) and have been a bit remiss about posting our progress. The good news is that the progress has occurred, I just haven’t been discussing it. On our first key term (softball gloves) we are in the low 20’s on Google and #5 on Yahoo. MSN, because we are not too specifically focused on tight link text is following Google is at 25. A bit more work and I expect the site to be on page 2 of Google in the next week.
Of course we are targeting more than one term. So for phrase #2 (softball bats) we are at 31 on Google, #34 on Yahoo and high 40’s on MSN.
The site retains it’s rankings in the top 5 of Google for 2nd tier terms like cheap softball gloves, cheap softball bats, cheap baseball bats, discount softball gloves and more.
So the results beyond search engine rankings? The site is now getting over 300 unique visitors per day from search engine natural listings. The number is so high because the ‘long tail’ phrases just pop up without effort and that plus the prime listings on the 2nd tier phrases sends good traffic. And sales? Now on June 13th the site has surpassed May’s total month sales. And May sales surpassed April’s which surpassed March’s … You get the idea.
I’ll keep you posted. Really! 
Nancy

I’ve been too quiet on this one. In July of 2007 PrimeTimeSportingGoods moved onto page 1 for the first term ’softball gloves’. Now it ranks #3 on Google for that term and is on page 1 of Google for term #2, ’softball bats’. At top of page 2 (#11) for ‘baseball gloves’ and above the fold on page 2 (#13) for ‘baseball bats’.
The site owner is doing all the SEO work now but is a member of our LiveBlueprints.com SEO membership where we lay out step-by-step instructions on how to get any site to page 1 of Google which he is following and implementing on his own now.
