I did it!

I set myself the challenge to get my new blog into googles top 10 in 3 weeks and i've done it in 3 days!

Someone searching for biography authors found my site via this search
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=biography+writers+looking+for+work

I am listed in 4th place!

Now given the vast number of writers sites on the web this is some achievement,

Now come on writers send in your bio's and benefit from this FREE publicity!!

My site: http://www.find-writer.blogspot.com

yahhhhooooooooo

Congrats creativeblogger! Couple of questions:

1) What benefit does being in the 4th place in google bring you - could you explain?
2) What are your objectives with your 'find-writer' - is it for free lancers - like e-lance, for example?

Just some initial questions! Cheers.

1) Traffic

This is how I knew I was number 4, though not sure I still am as these figs fluctuate. I had a visitor who showed up on my incoming traffic widget. It shows me the link they used to find me. Very useful tool if you want to figure out which of your traffic pulling methods are working most for you. I can see my top referrers. So I know where to concentrate my time and efforts and which to drop.

2) I am not familiar with e-Lance, but my objective is two fold.

Writing is my passion yet there are many more brilliant writers out there than me who are too shy or don't know how to raise their profile. I have raised mine to the point I am read around the globe perhaps 2000 times weekly. I
had a book offer two days ago which I declined as I could not fulfill the terms of the contract but it was a traditional publisher not self publish and one thing that helped obtain that offer was the exposure I have around the web and the hope I'd do a lot of my own marketing. Anyway, I genuinely want to help these writers looking for more exposure or jobs to be seen.

What's in it for me?

The other aspect is of course that while I put in massive efforts to generate lots of traffic to raise their awareness is that I hope I will get a few ad clicks/sales for writing related products along the way. These will hopefully at some point cover the time I spend on promoting the site though of course that is a very long way off and I'm not sure it's even possible but I enjoy it so...

I also get to know the authors via email and what not and how great is that! So far both authors I have published are published book authors, though beginners and novices looking for small/big writing jobs are very welcome.

I enjoy it basically and if I get some ads and sales along the way fab.

There are other sites out there that allow profiles but they either charge a fee to client or writer or both and all seem to require a registration. The sites also generate income via ads/sales and what not.

The difference with my site is there is no fee, no sign up and when I get around to it links (today hopefully) on two sites.

I would leap at any chance like this myself as this is how you raise your profile on the web.

Thanks for the insights and taking the time to share your background -it's clear you're headed onwards n upwards - this rationale and drive makes the title of this thread interesting now that we're digging deeper, the whole idea of forums.

Anyone else?

changes do happen. I know they are the trace of time , adidas f50 adizero,irresistible and inevitable. the moment I saw my father I should not recognize him.I know he is getting old ,but returning home after more than 4moths,the symptoms of old should have grown beyond my imagination. I felt guilt and regret. I know I am the killer who take away his strength and youth.apparently he was pleased that I arrived so early and brought presents for them. when I was young I always thought he was some kind of tyrant , stern and severe.Nike Mercurial Vapor, I thought he was not approachable and touching.while with years passing by, in the process of my growing up and his getting old , these impression fades and instead it is replaced by words as gentle caring and loving . he played cheese and badminton with me, he would sing with me , he cooked for me , he chat with me , he is tolerant of me.my dear father and all my families , I say sorry for my past fault , I know sometimes I just easily surrender myself to the various temptation, and lose myself and my way. but believe me , I just easily surrender myself to the various temptation, and lose myself and my way. football boots,but believe me ,my experience is added over time and I can preserve my values and trace my path to maturity
