Backlinks Test: Build an online shop – Part 2

Continuation of my 1st google keyword phrase test: Part 1 is here: Build an online shop Its been 2 days and in that time i have made more than 20 backlinks to my website using the words ‘Build an online store’. I have yet to check how many have appeared, I will do that later today.

Search google for “build an online shop” shows my posts as follows (include quote marks):

My blog at ukbusinessforums appears on page 1 (6th on google).

My digg post appears on page 2 on google

iwebshop.co.uk appears on page 3 on google

Now, granted do people actually search using the quotation marks? Some do no doubt but most likely the majority dont. But its a good start.

So, I will continue the test to improve the above results but also to get rankings without quotes. Tonight ill try and double the number of backlinks.

UPDATE

iwebshop.co.uk ranked page 1 (majority 1 to 5 placed) for:

build an online shop with zen cart
build an online shop with oscommerce
build an online shop with cubecart
build an online shop with magento

even without the word ‘with’ still page 1:

build an online shop zen cart
build an online shop oscommerce
build an online shop cubecart
build an online shop magento

Lets take out the ‘an’ and still page 1:

build online shop zen cart
build online shop oscommerce
build online shop cubecart
build online shop magento (actually placed #1 out of 273k)

Now, obviously the word ’shop’ is an english term, the americans use ’store’. So for now to accomodate that I will add the keyphrase ‘build an online store’ to the title/keywords/description – I will do more about this later, but it is a good start.
