Blog SEO Power Continues To Grow

Business world. That two word phrase, when entered into the Google search interface box, gives back 461 million returns. That incredible number is double the amount of pages returned, when I wrote about how Number 8 out of 158 million returns last month (March 17 2005). That previous result for "business world" without quotes, as in... business world ...has since changed. For the better. moved up the rankings to Number 5 in Google for a search for business world. When I first wrote about the high ranking in Google, despite the incredibly huge page return (now 461,000,000), the Murdok column, where my blog post was republished, were Murdok Forums, agreed that blogs do indeed possess unlimited search engine power. Other commenters were not as convinced about blogs and SEO strength. The discrediting of the high search engine rankings was based largely on business world not being a very important search. While that assessment may or may not be true, no one was able to adequately explain why a small business blog was able to rank so highly, in a search the yielded such a vast number of returns. The sheer number of ranked pages alone should have buried my blog deeply in the Google search results. Note as well that the number of returned documents has more than doubled in the past month, making a strong ranking even more difficult to achieve. Since that time, my blog has passed the moved up from #8 to the #5 spot, in the Google search for business world. Along with the strong Google returns, a search for business world on Yahoo places #5 as well, up from #19 in March.
