Publicity - Phase One

So while the Press DVD is finished by Dan and we embark on the new weeks ahead of us, one of my main jobs is to make sure that people can find the site and blog if they search for it. According to reports (of people who can't have much to do with their time) if your not in the top 10 search results on Google, you have little chance of getting seen. This is mainly because the majority of web users are too lazy to scroll back passed the second page, and don't "trust" pages that aren’t at the top of the list.

With that in mind, I’ve compiled a number of searches we would like people to find us on, and over the next few weeks we'll keep track to see if we can improve our ratings. I've been following a few for a few weeks so I can say today how we have improved. We may appear more times after these results, but the numbers relate to the first reference to our sites 1. rtlc.blogspot.com 2. http://www.roanokethemovie.com

SEARCH WORDS |||| WHERE WE STAND |||| LAST WEEK
1. roanoke the lost colony |||| Page 3 - 22nd |||| Page 13!
2. roanoke the movie |||| Page 1 - 3rd |||| Page 5!
3. the lost colony. |||| 26+ - then i got bored |||| -
4. roanoke |||| similar |||| -
5. lost colony of roanoke |||| Page 11 - 106 |||| -
6. film about roanoke |||| Page 1 - 7th |||| -


We feel that people who may be searching for the story of Roanoke should come across our page with these keywords if we can make it to the top! So that is our aim over the next week or so. There seem to be some good results already there, but we need to improve on the simpler terms such as jusr "roanoke" and "the lost colony". Otherwise the 2 page one results the search for a film or movie about roanoke are promising, and the top search shown there is getting better and will hopefully be a very general term people would search for.

For visitors from america, we are also putting Google Ads on the right hand side of google search pages in a bid to make a few more people aware of the project.

How can you help?
If you would like to help us get further up the rankings and own a web page, by adding a link to either http://rtlc.blogspot.com or http://roanokethemovie.com with the title of Roanoke: The Lost Colony, Roanoke The Movie, or something similar, could help us rise up the search links. The last thing we want is our link to become spam, so please don't post the link aimlessly, and please only put it on if you feel the effort and work put into the project so far deserves the attention.
