[SEO Success Stories] Outranking Apple.com!

SEO Success

After about five months of search engine optimization work for AppTank.comwe have taken them from not ranking at all to being number one in Google!

This project had been one of the most competitive national seo projects to date and I had not expected success so quickly. In my estimates, it could take close to a year before we saw any dramatic results.

To me, being number 4 or 5 would have been the best possibility since Apple and Google kept the top three spots for the search “app developer“. But earlier this week, I got an email from the client who was ecstatic that his website was out ranking Apple.com as the number 1 ranking website!!

Previously he already told me- ( and said that I can quote him ):

“You are by far, the best individual I have ever done business with. The quality of work you provide to the superior level of communications as well surpass all my levels of expectations.”

And given the fact that Google’s new ranking algorithm Panda has come along — raking havoc among many other sites, I feel really proud that we are able to continue helping our clients gain exposure to their businesses.

    Good work! I like this site by the way… So what do you guys use for checking Google ranking to know you’ve reached page one?

    Hey Alex. We use WebPosition.com for some clients. SEOMoz for some. And others just manual searching. (For some clients, we need to manual change the location in Google first.)

    Thanks,

    Have you heard of using scroogle scraper, here is the link http://scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm.

    “Is using WebPosition Reporter safe for my local IP address?

    Yes, WebPosition Reporter runs all report queries for you so that your IP address is
    completely excluded from the rank checking process. This also ensures that your query results are not personalized
    and provides a more accurate measurement of your search engine rankings.” Scroogle scraper is not a paid service and checks page rank in same way but is very basic.

    What did you use to create the ‘see what we do’ video, very nice?
