Google Loves Web Gurus Too

I have now got our website at http://www-gurus.com up and running (as you can now see!). At the moment it consists of just a home page and a single blog post (Not any more – Ed), which for some strange reason looks remarkably similar to one of the posts on our original Blogger blog!

Technorati has found this new blog too. Since the new site has a link to the Blogger version we now have a Technorati authority rating of 1.

Another search of Google today reveals we are now number 1 for "wwwgurus" (out of 33). It's always nice to be top of Google for your own name, at the very least. We have also gone from nowhere to number 47 (out of around 2,530,000) on a search for the keyphrase "web gurus".

Now it's safe to say that there aren't too many people on the planet searching for "web gurus", but it does at least give an idea of what's possible if you target long tail keywords. There are however enough people searching for a "web guru" for the Google AdWords keyword tool to reveal that there are at least a few advertisers targeting that phrase, and to give those advertisers traffic estimates.
