Just something to read in case anyone is thinking about starting a business online--The Disney folks never called about my "Texas Man" Blog story, those bastards.
This was a blog post I had written just over 3-weeks after launching--kinda corny but it's all true. It's on linked-in, twitter, of course my site, and now here:
SO I MADE A SOFTWARE HANDICAPPING PROGRAM...AND STARTED A WEBSITE
(THIS WAS TAKEN FROM THE FIRST PAGE OF THE FIRST BLOG ON-SITE)
I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE: IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHY THE CONSTANT REFERENCE TO "SPOT PLAY" ON EVERY PAGE OF THIS SITE, I'VE TRIED NUMEROUS META TAGS, KEY WORDS, ETC...THE ONLY SUCCESS I'VE HAD IS WITH THE TERM "SPOT PLAY". I'M IN DANGER OF OVERUSING THAT TERM AS WE SPEAK, SO I'LL TRY NOT TO USE IT SO MUCH. THERE IS SUCH A THING AS
"OVERDOING IT" WHEN IT COMES TO SEARCH ENGINES.
ALL THE "BIG BOYS" HAVE TAGS AND KEY WORDS LIKE "FREE PICKS", "HORSE RACING SOFTWARE", "HANDICAPPING METHODS" ALL TAKEN--NO---
DOMINATED IS A BETTER WORD..........BUT THE TERM SPOT PLAY, SEEMS TO HAVE SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS FOR SOME REASON.
ANYWAY TO GET TO THE POINT--I LAUNCHED THE SITE 21 DAYS AGO WITH PRECIOUS LITTLE KNOWLEDGE OF SEO, SEARCH ENGINE META TAGS, KEYWORDS, ETC. ONE DAY I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THE THE TERM "BEST SPOT PLAYS" (THERE'S THAT TERM AGAIN).
I WAS SERIOUSLY SEARCHING FOR PLAYS TO ADD TO MY FORTHCOMING E-BOOK ON, YES----HANDICAPPING SPOT PLAYS------AND ALMOST BROKE DOWN INTO TEARS: THERE WAS MY LITTLE NOTHING, MESS OF A SITE, THE ONE I HAD WORKED SO HARD ON............WORKED LITERALLY ALL NIGHT THE FIRST NIGHT--- DETERMINED TO GET THIS META TAG/KEY WORD THING DOWN ---AND BE A SUCCESS IF I HAD TO DO WHATEVER IT TOOK----THERE WAS MY VERY OWN SITE
WWW.PACE-VIEW.COM WHICH DIDN'T EXIST 3 WEEKS AGO, #7 ON THE 1ST PAGE IN THE GOOGLE SEARCH OF THE TERM "BEST SPOT PLAYS" !!! (IT'S A VERY "KEY" HORSERACING TERM")
AS I SAID--I ALMOST CRIED! IT IS THE GREATEST FEELING IN THE WORLD, THOSE SMALL VICTORIES. WELL, THIS WAS A STUNNING VICTORY TO ME!
AT THAT MOMENT, I KNEW I COULD WORK HARD, NEVER EVER GIVE UP, AND I WOULD BE A SUCCESS
