Search engine experiment success!

Back in February I started a new “experiment” website covering the little maqui berry native to Patagonian region of South America.  This isn’t a new concept for me, in July of 2007 I started an experiment website covering the acai berry. The acai berry exploded with popularity and suddenly my site had a ton of competition – which makes ranking well in the search engines for a 2-3 hour per week hobby very difficult. So I decided to level the playing field when I heard about the maqui berry, a berry that reportedly has a higher antioxidant concentration than the acai berry with much less hype and media coverage – therefore less competition.

But that’s enough background – to the point. In it’s 4th month of existence www.maquiresource.com is now ranking on the first page for “maqui berry” in Google. The new goal? Improve that 9th place ranking into the top 3. That top 3 position can be the difference between hobby revenue and revenue that might actually help me make my car payments every month
