After two weeks, I have surprisingly and easily achieved my goal: to dominate the first page of a Google organic search.  As of today, googling my name places me in the first 5 listing ranks on Google page 1.  What does this mean?  It is very important for people to find you easily on Google and keyword optimizing your name is a critical first step in getting you listed.  When a past client or friend of a friend wants to contact you, many times Google is the first place they look.  So when they type in your name,  you must make sure you appear near the top of a Google organic search.  Blogging on Active Rain will boost your Google ranking almost immediately.

But...keyword optimizing your name is only the first step to full search engine optimization of your business.  What is the second step?  Anyone?

I would have to say relevant content but I'm not totally sure.  You just reminded me though to go check the keywords on my pages to make sure my name is on them.  Thanks!

Kelly I never thought of my name as a key word, should all my posts have my name as a keyword?  I just Googled myself (again) and I am numbers 1 and 2 with two other spots on page one.  But perhaps with making my name a keyword I will have the whole page...hmmmm.
