This is going to be a nice break

To be very honest, I’m burned out with national SEO terms. Not only is it extremely hard to take national terms, the competition is with sites like wikipedia and it takes months to get #1 for something, unlike local SEO which can usually be done much faster. Just recently I lost #1 for the search term “petition” to wikipedia, such a bad feeling and honestly I’m not sure that I will try and win the #1 spot back. Most people are so used to seeing wikipedia in the search results they pay it no mind. Even if we do lose traffic to the wiki petition page, wikipedia isn’t a competing site so it really doesn’t matter, when they start hosting online petitions then I’ll worry about it.

Back on topic, I’m really excited to be in the local SEO market now, no more competing against the YouTubes and Wikipedias, the PR6, PR7, or higher behemoths. nope, now it’s mainly the mom and pop stores trying to rank for stuff like “naples lawn care” or “fort myers plumbing”, this is going to be like a much needed vacation.

I’ll post more soon, time for bed right now though.
