I used to do SEO for a living and typically get my clients top rankings. I just built
TheNerds affiliate program review page a week ago though, so I was pleasantly surprised their page on top for the following
VERY competitive key phrases on Google.
#1 out of 15 MILLION - computer hardware affiliate program
http://www.google.com/search?num=20&...am&btnG=Search
#4 out of 71 Million - computer affiliate program
http://www.google.com/search?num=20&...am&btnG=Search
#4 out of 11 Million - computer parts affiliate program
http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...iliate+program
#7 out of 109 Million computer software affiliate program
http://www.google.com/search?num=20&...am&btnG=Search
Note: results may vary slightly if you are using a different Google data center.
I'll probably get more high rankings for this client and these will move up. But I am surprised sometimes how fast and high Google ranks my client's pages.
I LOVE getting top rankings it's a RUSH to me like gambling is to some people. Good analogy too!
Thanks for letting me toot my own horn.
