This is weird. Weird and frustrating.
I've spent the last few days slowly figuring out how to optimize MyTruckBud.com for search engines. I realized that although people find their way to my site, that's practically a miracle because you can Google for delivery or moving services various ways and my site won't even show up in the first ten pages. Studies show, of course, that people stop looking after the first page.
On Friday I got home and had good/bad news for my wife. I started to tell her "This business is going to make it..." because I finally figured out how to Search Engine Optimize MyTruckBud.com, and gauging my the intel I'd gathered on my competitors, my efforts to do so are relatively unique. The "bad news" was that it would take a while for search engines to index my site or do whatever they do with their hoity-toity secret algorithms. However, just as I was beginning to tell her, someone called asking for delivery services.
"How'd you find me?" I asked.
"I just Googled 'Delivery service Alexandria,'" he said.
It looked like my efforts that afternoon had paid off much more quickly than I thought. Yay!
So, I typed the exact same search string into Google and came up with nothing.
I tried it again, and I came up on top.
Huh?
Another potential customer inquired about my services a minute ago, and I had the same conversation with her. I typed in the search string, and...nothing.
What the...?
SEO is definitely more art than science. Must do more research...

I just googled it, and your site came up on top! Nice job.
Argh. Thank you, but I just rant through some search strings and came up with nothing...again. Maybe if you're logged into your Google home page it screws up searches somehow.
Oh well, if it works for you, then that works for me.
Maybe I need to go get some chicken feet and mangrove root...
Chicken feet will help. Also, gypsy tears. Or, you could just get Obama to take care of it.
