How to Rank No.1 in SERP – Indexing Power of Search Engines

Posted on 19. Oct, 2009 by Senthil Ramesh in SEO

Have you been ever wondered when your site or blog comes to the top position for some query that never you expected? How do you feel when your site which is not even a month old, #1 for a keyword that you don’t target or expected, but simply by a spelling mistake. Thats what happened to me.

Before moving into this topic, I want to make clear it doesn’t deal with any seo, on page or off page technique. Its simply my experience that happened accidentally.

This blog Practise SEO was up from the last month and I was monitoring its presence online frequently and I used to check for the keywords user enter to my site using the webmaster tools of all the major search engines, Google, Yahoo and Bing. (It was another story that got indexed at last in Bing after very long days of waiting, though Google and Yahoo are quite fast)

Last week when I was happened to watch my queries that my site got ranked, I got some unusual queries that ranked me to the top places. Its quite natural that I got ranked for practise seo and innovate seo as these are most optimised in my blog,

But what was unnatural was, the blog ranked first for the queries, xtreemehost, xtreemehost.com and some user(thank you!) has searched with the query to find it in SERP.

And how did I made to the top of the SERP. Here goes the reason.

Two weeks before I wrote an article “How to tag your website for better seo” and one of my good friend has commented in it. He has made a small spelling mistake when he commented. He misspelled Xtreemhost, a free hosting provider as Xtreemehost and Xtreemhost.com as Xtreemehost.com. Thats it. Because of him, I topped the SERP now. Now the Google bot has crawled my page to locate the terms that are not quite natural and haven’t appeared in any other pages(mostly as it is a misspelled one) it gave me the #1 place in its SERP. But guess what,Bing, haven’t found any of this. You can find the power of crawling and indexing of search engines.

Here are the queries that made me to top the SERP
1.xtreemehost (in Google, Yahoo, Bing )
2.xtreemehost.com(in Google, Yahoo, Bing )

So, what are you trying to say?

Cool, what am I trying to conclude is, the search engines take all the information, how small it is, from all the sites. Also choose sites with lesser search volume. So having some unique words in your site can make you top in the SERPs and optimized keywords in the site can make you lead the charts.

Yeah now I have made another mistake. I misspelled 'Google' as 'Googl' and I have ranked #3 for the keyword “Googl Reader” only after Google Reader taking the first two places. LOL

I got a similar example for the very uncommen search term : “rock servers real ppv traffic” but there are a few more.

From time to time I use common misspelled words as keywords. (I use them for adwords too).

The MSN keyword lab has some useful tools to find often used misspellings.
