Latest Google Results:

"website development bristol" = page 6, from 10
"website design bristol" = page 18, from 21
"SEO Bristol" = page 3, from 6
"Search Engine Optimisation Bristol" = page 5, from 6
"Website Maintenance Bristol" = page 1, position 1, from page 1, position 10
"software bristol" = page 10, page 11
"custom bristol" = page 1, position 8 from page 2, position 3
"bespoke bristol" = page 5, from page 7

So all improved...

Next step is to remove the suspect SEO linking system from the front page, so free1waylinks are to be removed.

The rankings will drop drastically.

But I'll build some better linking system in it's place.

Yesterday, I created a new page detailing search engine optimisation (SEO)

I’ve also made sure the index page has a title which is descriptive rather than just "Home"

By having a specific page for search engine optimisation, I hope Google will rank the website higher for that term.

I will add a link to the new page here, so Google will be able to go directly to the new page.

Currently Google ranks the website for the term "search engine optimisation" on page 6, I'm hoping this improvement will move the site ranking to page 5

Google has re-indexed and published the site, but I made some changes after it did it's re-index so I'm not going to mark down the results of the re-indexing yet.

I have now made a new Search Engine Optimisation page which may boost the SEO ranking from page 6.

We shall see, in a week.

Site updated www.newtimesystems.com

2009-01-09T04:00:00.001-08:00

Latest change to the www.newtimesystems.com website are:

The page titles have been optimised, before

Home - NewTime Systems (Bristol)

Now says

"Bespoke Software Development, Website Design & Development, SEO - NewTime Systems (Bristol)

This should improve things hopefully.

I'll check back and update the blog once I see the indexing changes.

I assume I'll have to tweak this title so it falls within the max. google title length of 66 characters.

Allthough "Bespoke Software Development, Website Design & Development, SEO " is 66 characters long.

I think yahoo displays 77 characters, therefore:

"Bespoke Software Development, Website Design & Development, SEO - NewTime "

I'll wait for the feedback.

Excellent news, "Custom Software Bristol" and "Bespoke Software Bristol" are now at number 1 position page 1 on uk google results.

I'm looking at the other search terms such as
"website development bristol" = page 10
"website design bristol" = page 21
"SEO Bristol" = page 6
"Search Engine Optimisation Bristol" = page 6
"Website Maintenance Bristol" = page 1, position 10
"software bristol" = page 11
"custom bristol" = page 2, position 3
"bespoke bristol" = page 7

I've just altered the footer text to try and improve this.

My next steps will be
1. to get better titles as "Home - NewTime Systems (Bristol)" isn't good enough.
2. to get a sitemap put together.
3. create a page targeting each of the keywords I'm hoping to rank highly on.

All this relates to my website www.newtimesystems.com

Home page only reindexed on the 30th December and updated on the 3rd Janurary.

2008-12-31T00:59:00.000-08:00

A new 'Website Maintainance' page to increase the website positioning on google.

2008-12-30T04:07:00.000-08:00

More changes, move the "website maintainance" page into web design and add some SEO content onto the home page. Lastly change the tag for the title image and improve the title on the right of the home page image.

2008-12-30T02:02:00.000-08:00

Google reindexed on the 27th at 09.40, the cache was updated on the 30th at 10am.

So I assume Google will turn up and reindex the site within 24 hours and it takes another 48-72 hours for Google to update it's index.

So you can have google update it's index within 3-4 days using this techinque.

2008-12-29T04:38:00.001-08:00

Fixed a few typo's on the bottom footer bar which read wesign instead of website design. Hopefully will push me up a little more. www.newtimesystems.com

2008-12-29T01:08:00.000-08:00

So the last update to the site was the 23rd Dec, and I updated the blog on the 23rd as well.

Google went back on the 23rd and reindexed the site. I checked on the 26th or 27th and google's cache had been updated. Very, very good.

Also the changes have also pushed me up the rankings again.

Next I'm going to be getting the page title improved as "Home" for the home page isn't great.

Then I've got some more copy for webdesign to write as I don't rank for any website development.

Also update my dmoz listing as it needs to be clearer.

More Information

2008-12-23T00:11:00.001-08:00

Another important change I made was to add my keywords to the bottom of the page, so I pasted the header text at the bottom:

Bespoke Custom Software Development, Websign Design, Website Maintenance, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) & IT Consultancy.

I've read that google see's the bottom text as a key part of the page therefore I added it after the copyright information.

So far so good...

Next I think I'll try adding some text to the website design page to see if I can get a rating for web design as I did a quick search on google and didn't appear in the top 30 pages :-(

Wow!!!

2008-12-23T00:07:00.001-08:00

Google reindexed my site overnight!

It came back and reindexed within 2 hours, amazing.

This morning the pages have been recached.

Same rankings, but that was fast.

Reindexed by Google

2008-12-22T10:09:00.000-08:00

The site now appears to be in googles updated cache, dated 18 December.

Today is the 22, so it took 24 hours for google to reindex the newtimesystems.com website after posting to blogger.com and four days for google to update it's main public cache.

Not bad results either,

"bespoke software bristol" from page 14 to page 3!

"custom software bristol" from page 15 to page 2!

Lets see how we get on with the latest changes to the title and the software page. Should be less than a week.

Next will be some artical writing to try and get a bit higher, also trying to improve rankings for website design and maintance and then if we can really get somewhere there will be some content and improvements for SEO.

2008-12-22T04:46:00.000-08:00

I've now updated the page "software" to be called "http://www.newtimesystems.com/bespoke-custom-software-development/".

I've also changed some of the titles from:

"Bespoke Software Development" to "Bespoke Custom Software Development"

"Design" to "Software Design"

and

"Practices" to "Best Software Development Practices"

This is so the keywords are in the titles more often.

Any changes???

2008-12-22T02:29:00.000-08:00

It's now the 22nd December and I'm tracking my SEO position within Google.

After adding the free1waylinks website to the bottom of the page, also three one way links to various website directories and this blog, I'm checking the status.

I have moved from page 14 within google - uk "bespoke software development" to page 8.

Google - uk "custom software development" is still on page 14, so no change there.

Google hasn't reindexed my pages so I'm going to try again by updating this blog to try and get it to revisit www.newtimesystems.com

I've got 61 links to my page from free1waylinks, so lets see how it changes.

Lets get started with some Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) Tests

2008-12-17T12:12:00.000-08:00

After reading up a lot on Search Engine Optimisation I've decided to give Blogging a go to see how and if it improves the rating of my website.

I've also read the Google should reindex the site within two or three days after posting this blog. I'm using http://pingomatic.com/ to inform the blog spiders of this posting.

This is my first post and the content relates to my website www.newtimesystems.com.

I'm also monitoring to see if it'll improve any of the other searches which relate to Web Design and Web Maintenance, Bespoke Custom Software Development and IT Consultancy and IT Advice within the Google rankings?

Well here goes.....

I'll check back next week.
