Alle-Festsange.dk improving search engine rankings

Shortly after my last report about Alle-Festsange.dk the site dropped to no. 22 on Google for the keyword festsange but now the site is back in top 20. Actually it's ranking better than ever as no. 16 for the keyword mentioned above and still no. one at MSN.
I've startet to submit the site to my list of Danish directories. Hopefully this will improve rankings even more. I'll keep you posted on the sites further journey to no. one rankings for the most important keywords.

Best Regards!

New newsletter system

Advertisements in newsletters is an important source of income in my company (and in many other doc coms). Until last week I sent out all my newsletters through my own home made newsletter script on my ordinary webserver. But last week I moved my largest newsletter (recipes of the week from WebOpskrifter.dk) to a dedicated newsletter solution at one of the leading Danish webhosting companies, Scannet. After some minor problems implementing the system I sent out my first newsletter through this new solution and the result was great. New income record for a single newsletter. Now this could just be a coincidence, so I'm very excited to see the income for my next couple of newsletters.
If the good results continue I might consider to move my other newsletters to the system at Scannet.

Important things in life

Tonight my favorite soccer team played UEFA Cup match in Moscow against Lokomotiv. As Lokomotiv won the tournament a few years ago they were expected to win tonight to but after an incredible first half Brondby had scored twice and Lokomotiv zero. Quite a while since I've seen my team play this good and of course this affected my mood in a very positive way:-)

But after an awfull second half Lokomotiv had scored 4 goals and Brondby threw it all away. Absolutely awfull!!

It took me about half an hour to cool of but then it reminded me why I started my own business. I love to watch my favorite soccer team, but I hate to loose and I hate the fact that I can't do anything about it. That was exactly one of the reasons why I started my own company. Here I'm in control of things and I can lead my company in the direction I want.

But when all that's said, I'll remind my-self what's really important in life. That's why I will shut down my laptop now, take my bike and drive home to my girlfriend. Maybe you should think about what's important in your life.

Niche site allready no. 1 on MSN!

My new niche website about occasional songs is allready no. 1 on the MSN search engine for the keyword "festsange". Furthermore the site is no. 19 on Google for the same keyword (best ranking so far).

It's very satisfying to achieve these good results this fast. These rankings have resulted in a couple of hundred visitors every day.

I continue my work with this site and hopefully the site will clime further up the result pages on Google.

Addicted to sudoku?

Well, in Denmark people play sudoku more than ever before. All major Danish newspapers have a daily sudoku and people buy special sudoku magazines.

I don't really understand this sudoku mania but ofcourse I had to act on the popularity of the little Japanese game. Therefore I've made a new little site, where people can play the game online and for free. The site is called: Gratis Sudoku Opgaver.

Feel free to visit the site if you are addicted to sudoku.

New niche site seems promising

My new niche website about occasional songs (or festsange as we call it in Danish) seems very promising. After ranking as no. 21-23 on Google for the keyword "festsange", the site has now moved up into top 20. This has been achieved with only a very few links.

Today I've placed a couple of new links on some of my other websites. These sites don't have much PageRank but I'm still excited to if the links will have any effect.

Best regards!

Niche project finally launched

Loyal readers of my blog might remember that I several times have talked about a new niche project. A project with great potential but small competition. Untill now this project has been a secret but now it's finally ready to be launched and I can reveal the details about the project.

The site is called Alle-Festsange.dk and it's about occasional songs (or "festsange" as it is called in Danish).
The site is now launched but it still needs some content so it isn't done yet.
I've placed links to the site on 3 of my other websites (all PageRank 4 sites) and then of course on this page. I'm excited to se if these links are enough to achieve high rankings in the search engines result pages.
