Getting to #1 in Google

November 9, 2007 by Shawn Collins

Q: I see that your blog is ranked #1 in Google, and I was wondering how you did that with such an average blog?

Shawn CollinsA: Each day I perform an extensive examination of Google’s algorithm. And I do all kinds of complicated formulas for keyword density. It’s really something of a science.

I kid.

The big secret is that I just write in the same voice that I speak. I don’t really think about Google rankings, I don’t obsess about any kind of SEO stuff.

Instead, I write often, and I write original content. Apparently, Google has some unfair bias for sites with frequent content that is original.

So try that secret formula and you may be able to rank well, too, with an average blog. Good luck in your quest for such mediocrity.
