Recently, ESL go.com moved up from 65 to 62. This may have been a result of clicking. Anyway, since I started this journal of my search engine rankings, I've gone from #95 to #62 for the search term "ESL" on Google. 33 spots in 2.5 months isn't too shabby. Here's a very brief recap on what I've been doing to get these results:
SEO tip #1 - Get your keywords in the title. Putting "ESL" in the title three times (instead of one time) got me from 95 to 78 in Google search results. Some of the increase may have been the result of new incoming links however.
SEO tip #2 - When you get links, look for increased link popularity and keyword density by getting keywords in text links to your site.
Theese seem to have had the biggest effect, in addition to clicking (as mentioned above). There are other things too, which you can read about in past entries.

Hi Jim,
Congratulations - this is all very informative and full of the sort of tips that I need to follow in order to try and get more exposure for "Word Surfing".
Search Engine optimization is an area that I've really paid no attention to so far as I've been more concerned about other things - but reading through this weblog makes me realise that I should be making more of the opportunities you talk about. So thanks.
Weblogs are also an area that I'm currently expanding at WS - and I've added a link to your growing collection of ESL + EFL friendly blogs at

by the way.
Best wishes ...and Happy Easter!
Will
Thanks for the link. I'll reciprocate...
Yeah the sooner you start the fewer mistakes you have to fix (as I learned the hard way).
