Search Ranking Improves!

If you recall, a short while ago I made some changes to my SEO Venture website, www.snowmanornaments.org in hopes of improving it's search ranking.  When first indexed it came in at number 129 for my primary keywords.  Not too impressive.  I did some additional on page SEO and some off page SEO and saw the number flucuate and finally settle in the 103-114 range.

Knowing that fresh, original content is the best way to improve the ranking (at least with Google), I added an additional 3 pages of new content to the website.  Only one day since adding the new content the search ranking has climbed to 83.  It is strong evidence that original content weighs heavily in Google's ranking algorithm.  Still not where I want it to be but SEO techniques have moved it up 5 pages in the search results.  It is encouraging news but I still have a long way to go with precious little time before the Christmas window closes.  It reinforces in my mind my concerns that I may have started this venture a month or so too late.
