After about 3 months of developing a niche website which generates a little cash, this is my first update on how my websites are actually doing in search engines. I have been working on 2 websites, but I'm really focusing on just the one. The other one I'm actually leaving to try out things, so for the purpose of this post, I'll just refer to the website I'm currently focusing on.
Surprisingly, there is a massive difference between Google's results and other search engines for my primary keyword. It's been 3 months since I've started this website and I'm 13th in Yahoo, which is great. On Bing, I float between the 2nd page and the 5th. On Yandex, I'm on the 1st page at 10th position!
Google's results are completely different though... my website doesn't even come in the top 1000. So on most search engines I'm starting do rather well, but it's Google which is the obvious target though. I can only assume that it's Google's shift towards authority that is the main difference. Authority is certainly something I'm focusing on, but this will take time to build. How long and how much effort this will be require, I have no idea.
So where to from here? I've sent a few questions off to a friend of mine that's an SEO expert for some advice. I'll definitely post back any useful from that discussion. In the meantime, I'll be trying to develop more authority and create more useful content for my website.
