Google has now moved on from indexing this blog and has started to add pages from the main AnswerHero.co.uk site.

As of this morning there are 18 pages in the Google index and two of the Q&A pages are ranking number one for their target terms:

• how much would a kona cycle cost you?
• who sells huggy buggy?

Obviously these terms are extremely long tail however we should find that we will get traffic from people searching for variations of the phrase and therefore start to get a trickle of visitors fairly soon.

As mentioned in my previous post on The Long Tail, getting ANY pages to rank this high is a great motivator and allows us to feel confident about putting additional effort into the site.

One thing we will now consider is paying someone to start answering the questions that are ranking so we do not fall into the trap of Google thinking we are thin on content, which we obviously are at the moment! We’ll let you know if we decide to do this and how much it is costing.

Google Analytics

I forgot to mention previously that we also added Google Analytics to the site so once we start to see some organic Google traffic I will update the blog to show you the kind of traffic we are getting.

I haven’t bothered to add a post about Google Analytics at this time as the instructions for installing it are clear enough on the Google Analytics pages themselves. Just to say though that we installed them just before the < /body > element so they would not affect the load times of the pages. It is more important to keep a visitor than to find out where they came from just before they hit the Back Button!
