At the beginning of the month, I was excited because my website finally hit the first page of Google.  This was a major improvement from six weeks earlier when I couldn't find my website in the first 20 pages.

Now, I am almost blase about that because I have found out it gets even better.  Less than two weeks ago, I checked my keywords and discovered that I was 8, 9 and 10 on PAGE ONE OF GOOGLE.

Page One Google - Costa Mesa Real Estate

Though I may not yet be number one, I am still excited.  I have a 3 in 10 chance of being clicked on; perhaps that's better than number one with nothing else on page one.

Through the last several days, my website, blog and other profiles have been coming and going on page one, with usually at least one and often two listings on page one at any time.  Then, it happened again today - three spots on page one - number 6, 7 and 8. Hey, I am moving up!

Now, moving up in the rankings is great; however, it seems that the purpose of all of it is to find clients, promote listings, etc., and it has been happening.  Today I received a call from a woman in Hawaii who is looking to move to Costa Mesa.  She found me on the internet.  I received another call over the weekend.

I can't wait to see where this goes next.

How about you?  What successes are you having?

Congratulations to you... be careful if you change anything on your site.  If you get a negative ranking result... you'll need to know how to change it back.

P.S.  Why do some female agents (such as yourself) feel the need to have your head cocked back like you're trying to catch a grape in your mouth, or trying to shake something out of your ear?  I've seen a few pics like that and I think it looks silly (not that you should care what I think, I just want to know why you think it looks good).

Christine, great job! I am focusing more energy to get those results, but still have a long way to go. Your post is motivational. Hope to be there soon.

Cameron - Thank you for your advice on changes on my site.  I will definitely keep it in mind.

As to the picture, I never thought about catching grapes. When I watched my nephews and nieces play that game last weekend, they all had their mouths wide open and were practically doubled over backwards ; )

I just liked the picture and thought it looked friendly.

Good job Christine! I've been working on moving up ever since I got my website a couple years ago and am on page 1 for various key terms, but still working on a couple. I'm still on page 2 for "Murrieta Real Estate":(, but page 1 for "Bank Owned Search." Have you done this organically? Any tips? All the best!

Tyson - It's all been done organically.  I haven't done any pay per click or the like.  Mostly, it's just been blogging and getting out on various social networking sites.  If you have any specific questions, please feel free to contact me.

HI CHRISTINE!

Congratulations, that's quite a success.  I'm still working on my ranking.  What did you do to get where you are on Google?

Have a great weekend!

Christine - congrats, keep working on it!  I noticed Inman is one of your top rankings, you'll have to share that story.  (PS - I like your picture!)

Yvette - I have done several things on different social networking sites though I think the biggest thing is that I have been blogging regularly on AR and have been reading and trying to learn about AR.

Christine - This is awesome!  Congratulations on getting so many on page 1 (I don't think any consumer trusts #1 or #2 that much, anyway.)  It is more natural to be in the middle or so.

Christine, Congrats!  What a rush to be on page 1.  Isn't it crazy how much a site like Google influences our lives?  Personally I think your real estate minute and your videos had a lot to do with your success.  Best of luck!
