A Ranking That Means Something: #1 on Google
Movie.com’s Buzz Bin (owned by Disney). MTV’s Buzz Bin, 1987-2004 (owned by Viacom). Livingston Communications’ The Buzz Bin (owned by a start-up PR firm in DC). Guess who is #1? That’s right, Livingston Communications.
I’ll take that any day over being ranked in the Ad Age 150 or any of the other listings.
This miracle of SEO was wrought by Viget Labs. Brian Williams, Ken Yarmosh and I engaged in our blog optimization experiment six weeks ago. Look what they achieved.
In that same time, the Buzz Bin has experienced a 200% increase in RSS readership, and my Twitter blog has also experienced a 200% increase in followers.
I know my cohort in crime for this experiment, Diva Marketing Blogger Toby Bloomberg, has experienced significant optimization benefits, too. Impressive work, gentlemen. And, thank you.

Lol. Thats hot. I have a pretty unique name so it shows at the top. I need to get to the top via other popular phrases in the future though. The fight continues.

Yeah, I should have thought about the name when I redid this, but Viget took care of those issues.

Yup .. the tweaks that Ken made are paying off in terms of RSS subscribes and a better traffic count. More on Diva soon.
Ken you so rock! You too Geoff :-)
