Philadelphia Self Storage: Our Google Ranking Project

November 20, 2008

Finally, SEO stuff is getting fun for me.

A good friend, Fred Gleeck, recently proposed a joint project.  One of his niche areas is marketing to self storage owners.  And with some great foresight, 8 years ago he reserved the domain PhiladelphiaSelfStorage.com…. and 20 other identical domains- with different cities.

His plan- sell ad space on each of them to the self storage companies in each city.  The selling point- “We’re ranked #1 on Google for the search phrase “Philadelphia Self Storage”.

So the our Google Adventure began… build the perfect SEO site, and track the progress to the top.

And now, after 6 weeks- we’ve reached the #4 spot!

Once we get it to the top, we’re going to roll out all 21 sites… and see what happens from there.

Also, we thought it might be a helpful exercise to keep a journal of everything we’ve done, and track the rise up the charts.  Interested in getting the report when it’s finished?

I’d be happy to share it- no charge- but there is one thing you could do to earn it.  One of the key things to get your site to the top is inbound links.

So, if you put a link to our site like this:

Philadelphia Self Storage

and let me know- I’ll make sure you get the eBook when it comes out!

Look for more blog updates about our ascent to the top of Google!
