For all those who have an interest, the authoritarian blog guest posting experiment which I wrote about in this post…

…has finally got lift(ed) off after Pat Flynn came over and invited me to write up a guest post for his blog a couple of weeks ago.

50 comments so far after 12 hours (half of which are my own replies – so you can imagine the potential “work load” in writing such a guest post – its not merely coming up with a good idea to base your article upon, and its obviously not just about the research side of things either (although I’m not too great at the research side of things – I tend to just write and let my thoughts flow very freely (hence perhaps I would never ever make a good scientist – is what my university thesis supervisor used to tell me )).

To have a read of the article, which is thoroughly relevant and related to SEO and internet marketing, please click on this link…

The actual name of the article is “Playing the Google Search Game – How to Rank High in Google“.

Its interesting to note that the link to the article misses out the whole of the first part of the name (even though that term is now ranking in Google very nicely – see below)… But in essence – the first part of the name is more to stir interest from the potential reader, where the latter part is more for search engine rankability, which because its Pat’s blog – you never know, even such a highly competitive phrase as that may indeed gain some high rankings in Google simply due to the vast amount of blog readers Pat gets. We’ll see… (“how to rank high in Google” I am seeing at 41st in Scroogle Scraper!).

(I see in my Scroogle that the term “playing the Google search game” is already ranking 3rd in Google – dancing a little as its now showing 4th in the image below, and up to 2nd within a 24 hour period after publication).

Comments are of course always welcome, and please don’t forget to Tweet or Facebook mention (or whatever) the post, thanks indeed!

Postscript – I’d appreciate continued feedback about my own blog not showing the home page. I’ve deactivated all recent WP plugins, so I’m hoping that the home page is showing up without any continuing techie hitches. If you cannot still see the home page, please let me know, thank you!
