Patience is the Key!

I am within a month of my one year anniversary of starting Flying Change Webs & Graphics. When I first built and designed my website, I incorporated keywords, carefully coded the text for SEO, registered with the top search engines and directories, wrote some quick articles to publish, and acquired links back to my own website.

Several months past and I still wasn't happy with my ranking. I asked an SEO colleague of mine if he could look at my website and give some advice. He said one word:

PATIENCE!

"You're kidding!" I thought to myself. But, being somewhat new to the the art of SEO, I took his advice. As I waited, I continued to read about SEO, tweek my keyword selection, adjust some headline text, page title text, and add links through networking, writing, and all the great new web designs I've given people over the last 11 months.

Today I performed a couple of test searches to see where I stood. My focus and passion is designing websites for small businesses, especially in my home state of Maine. Here is the results I got today on Google.

Search:
Small Business Website Design Maine
Results:
Page 1, Position 5

Other results, using web design, portland maine, and other website design search criteria, placed me within the first 3 pages.

My friend was right ... With all the other elements in place - website design, keyword optimization, and free submissions - patience was all I needed.
