Search Engine Rankings March 2007

It has been a while since I last looked at my search engine rankings, the last time I detailed them here was September 8, 2006. So here are the new and improved March of 2007 rankings for Personalized Books by MadLuck Books (the first number is the current ranking, the number in parenthesis is the 9/8/06 ranking, did not check ranking for "personalized book" in 2006):

For Google:
personalized books - #36 (#69)
personalized children's books - #114 (#119)
personalized childrens books - #57 (#75)
personalized story books - #16 (#17) TOP TWENTY!
personalized book - #10 TOP TEN!

For Yahoo:
personalized books - #9 (#26) TOP TEN RANKING IN PRIMARY KEY WORD!
personalized children's books - #50 (#47)
personalized childrens books - #64 (#44)
personalized story books - #10 (#29) TOP TEN!
personalized book - #10 TOP TEN


The Good: Improvement in 2 out of 4 keywords on Google, and Yahoo. A top twenty and a top ten ranking on Google, and three top ten rankings on Yahoo including a top ten ranking for the primary key word of "personalized books".

The Bad: Decreases in ranking for personalized children's books, and personalized childrens books, both "often searched" key words. Also, I have hit the top ten on Yahoo for personalized books before - it lasted less than a week before I was bumped back down to 12 or 13 and I expect this time to be just as short lived (but maybe that is just the pessimist in me).

For the web site to be truly successful, I need to crack the top ten on Google for personalized books. We are getting there (a drop from 69 to 36) but still have a ways to go.
