Remember that blog entry that popped up on page 2?

It's now on page 5!! In just a few hours, a small change to the blog itself appears to have moved the listing down by three pages!

So, remind me how these SEO companies can guarantee a Google page one listing?

Google is obviously a fluid, turbulent place to list your web pages.

These guaranteed seo guys must be really clever.........

Yeah, right.

The first chance I had to check progress today was just a few minutes ago.

This very blog (the article which is part 2 of the experiment) now lists near the bottom of page 2 on Google) - within 23 hours of the original listing.

The actual website article hasn't appeared yet. Maybe we need to wait until Google revisits the website? I see from my website stats that it's been "slurped" - let's see what happens when the sitemap.xml is next visited...
