Getting to Number 1 in Google
August 8th, 2006 byWell I’ve finally done what I have set out to achieve. Eighteen days and 37 posts after setting myself a target of getting in the top 10 results for my name “Philip Nicosia” I have finally made the top spot in Google with this site www.philipnicosia.com.
I’m also number 1 in MSN.com for the same search term but Yahoo! is a different story altogether.
I briefly made an appearance at No. 3 in Yahoo! but have since been relegated to the Number 23 slot. What’s going on there?
The most surprising thing I see in Yahoo! is the number 1 result “Compare prices for Philip Nicosia - DVD-Video. Read dvd-video reviews and compare prices at Yahoo! Shopping.” leading to a virtually blank page with my name on it and a blank section titled “Popular Films by Philip Nicosia”.
Maybe there is a film maker named Philip Nicosia that I’ve never heard of? It’s not me unless of course you include home movies such as this one.
It will be interesting to see if my results improve in Yahoo! soon.

Well my number 1 slot on Google was pretty short lived lasting just one day. I’m back down to the number 2 spot for now.
Yahoo! has been kinder and I’m back up to number 3 and the strange Yahoo! shopping page looks to have disappeared.

[…] I’m surprised that it took so long given that both Google and MSN took less than a few weeks. […]
