The first time ever in my life my hub is on page 1 number 3 out of 24 million hits on google. Sorry to brag but everyone is at work and I will burst if I don't tell someone. My safe ice hub. Woooo Hoooo I am so excited bet I can get the driveway shoveled with no problem lol.
I've been on Google's first page numerous times. My hubs don't show up on the first page of when searching for various keyword combinations, but they show up high.
Use social bookmarking sites. Your pages will show up on the first three pages of Google search results a lot of the time.
Don't Burst! It must be mighty nice to have your hard work pay off this way
It is always nice to see hard work pay off
Congrats!
I almost burst. lol thanks for your kind words.
That's great, fishtiger! What keywords are you ranking for on that one?
Well Jeff if I am understanding your correctly ( and i may not be) I put in " ice is safe" in google and now its showing number 5 on page 1 out of 49 million results. woooo hoooo. Thanks Jeff.
Yes, that's what I was asking. That's great! You also happen to rank page 1 for [when the ice is safe] without quotes or anything, but the phrase "ice is safe" is the only one showing with any searches in the Google keyword tool.
It's always nice to see your own hubs in Google!
Oh that is so cool. The google keyword tool hmmm I will have to check that out. Thanks again.

EDIT Here's a HubPages video giving you some tips on using it:

I just looked at the video and wow that's how you use it aye. Thanks Jeff now I am going to go play with the keyword tool.
It really is a great feeling indeed. So happy for you and yippee for more....
Good job! Congratulations!
Now see what additional thing(s) you did for this hub that are missing in others.
I will do that Ultimate Hubber thanks so much for the advice and all.
i have a page that shows up as the number one result, but because the title of the movie is a misspelled version of a popular word, you have to force google to search for what you TYPED and not what they auto-correct it to...which kinda sucks...
Its really great congratulation, its very inspiring after all its a result of hard work.
That's ice cool hard work and I'm so happy for you, too. You deserve to act the way you did. For me it's just the right way to express your gratitude. Congratulations!
Congratulations !
However, large number of my hubs remain in the first page of Google and yahoo search.
I think it is because of unique content. I did not know about key word research until recent past. I have started it since few days after repeated suggestions in various forum threads. I have yet to wait to see results.
Tagging, content and links are behind my success.
Thanks,
Jyoti Kothari
Congratulations! Had the same revelation myself at the start of the week, keep it up!
Fishtiger, it is an exciting feeling - but the big question is, does anyone type in "when the ice is safe" or "ice is safe" when they're looking for that subject on Google?
If you pick an unusual combination of words, it's very easy indeed to get on page 1 of Google for that title. But it doesn't get you any traffic, unless people are searching for it.
If I type in "when is ice safe?" or "when is the ice safe for fishing" or even "safe ice fishing", your Hub doesn't show up at all. I'm no fisherman, but I'd think those phrases are more like what people would type in to get an answer, so they would make better titles.
Yup you are right. But that hub was one of my first hubs. I really didn't know much about keywords. Jeff gave me some advice about them as well and I thank you for pointing that out to me too. It still was exciting and I will do better on my hubs with the keyword. Thanks again.
congrats fishtiger58, that is truly something to brag about
congratulations, it's nice to see you so much happy and excited.

Don't mind me, I'm just excited. Finally, I made my first 50 bucks and found one of my hubs on page 1 of Google search results. Happy times, these.

I just received an email from Paypal saying I had received a payment from Hub Pages. I have been in AdSense for 10 months and finally reached my first payout...happy days! Now, I am looking forward to my next and see if I can make it happen sooner.

Hello friends,Today I completed 5 years at hubpages. In these years, I have seen a lot of ups and downs and learned so many things. I hope to continue my relationship with HP for the coming years. The traffic is going down on a day by day basis but I am sure it will come back up again once Google...
