Whats this about?

It dawned on me a month or so ago that if I wanted to get an insane amount of traffic I would want to target a keyword that is typed into a browser address bar millions of time a day.  I ran through a few options:

• Maps
• Bing
• Facebook
• Google

Keyword Research

Then I did some research on those keywords, I was absolutely amazed at what I found.  Obviously there were millions of searches but to my amazement hardly any competition:

What is the reason for so little competition on these keywords?

What the hell am I doing?

Just for a bit of a laugh really, I decided if I could dominate Google with the keyword Google using this relatively cheap, new, small blog for the keyword Google I would be a very happy man.  I would be learning so much about what works and what doesn’t it would help my career progression no end. I only really started targeting keywords a few months ago and I thought this would be a great challenge.  It seems as though it is going to be possible, here is a screenshot of my webmaster tools – your site on the web – search queries:

So here we have the statistics from webmaster tools, early stages but progress is being made

The plan for this site is to see if Google is manipulating the SERPS as I read so much of this hype and to be frank I don’t believe it.

Why would Google want to risk their entire business model to earn a few extra bucks, its not as if  they are pushing the profit / loss line very hard is it.

So the only way I could think to prove Google’s innocence was to legitimately try and rank against them on their own system with their own keyword.  Maybe its a bit cheeky, maybe its a stupid idea but imagine if I could keep this blog going, get natural back links to this project – theoretically I could rank number 1 for the keyword Google on Google.  I am not for one second here thinking that is actually going to be possible, I am more interested in the theory…

However…. All that being said the screenshot to your left is actually showing that in theory its going to work

I just need to get ticked over onto the first page of the SERPS to get some traction to this experiment.

I am not undertaking any questionable SEO techniques, all I want to do is make the project aware to some people that might be interested in how to dominate Google with the keyword Google.  I will keep trying, keep posting to make it to page 1.

I would really like to understand a little information about how people arrive on this page, so I would be very grateful if you left a comment with your interests / profession. As I see it I will get 2 types of visitors to this post:

1. SEO interested people
2. People actually looking for Google

Thanks for reading, subscribe me to stay up to date on the project.  I am looking to write 1 – 2 posts a week on the subject / progress.  You won’t be spammed with nonsense posts I promise.

Together we can dominate Google with the keyword Google :)
