I started this blog less than a month ago and it’s now in google first page of search results under the kind of keywords I was going for: finding customers for a startup, finding customers using google

This is without any inbound links, any ads, any pr. I didn’t use any secret or special seo tricks. I just follow the very basics of seo. Here are text and tags from one of the landing page:

Title: About this blog | finding customers ain’t THAT hard

Description: Many of the posts here will be about my personal experience of what works, what doesn’t, and how to find customers for your startup. I will also share in details about how to actually execute those marketing campaigns.

H1: finding customers ain’t THAT hard, a blog on startups, marketing, & technology

Body Text: See it here and here

This was no coincident nor was it the first time that I was able to get on google first page of search results in a few weeks. As long as you have the right keywords you in the title tag, the description meta, the h1 and h2 tags, the body text, and the url, you’ll have a good chance of getting on google first page of search results.
