Google Top Rankings

This is one I haven’t really used myself but I know it works. Here’s how… I like to search my own name “Trent Brownrigg” in Google every once in a while just to see what comes up. Well imagine my surprise a few days ago when I did that and a Craigslist ad came up in the top ten results!

Apparently someone posted a link to an article of mine that they republished on their website. And they put my name in the ad so it’s now in the top 10 Google results when you search my name. Plus, that same listing is #1 on Google when you search for the title of the article with and without quotes (at the time of writing this). That’s out of 30,400,000 results!

It seems you could use this to your advantage by posting links to articles with long tail keywords (i.e. the bum marketing method) and they could end up high in the rankings.

The only problem I see with this is that Craigslist only leaves ads up for 45 days so your listings will not be permanent. But it’s nice for a quick boost and easy profits!
