Miss me? This site was taken down by some hackers based in the middle east for almost a week. After a few rounds of ding dong with the webhost provider and my wordpress theme developer, I am able to blog again! Anyway, I was at the dentist over the weekend and was reading one of the past editions of The Peak, you know the kind of magazine that features the rich, the famous and the wannabes…
Anyway what my attention on one of them was the interview with Jimmy Rogers. He is all famous retired investor from USA. He retired at the age of 30 or so, and have gone around the globe twice on bike and on a SUV-coupe. He has since moved his entire family to Singapore and he is great fan of all things Chinese as it’s his strong belief that the 21st century belongs to China.
In this article, he said something about investing that is all so familiar to SEO, and it’s something that I have been preaching for the longest time. This is what he said…
Most of the time the best thing you can do as investor is nothing go to the beach or go look out the window wait until you find something that is very sound but people don’t like to hear that they want a hot tip, they want to take a pill and be instantly successful.
The parrallels I can draw from the above statements are many. Like investing, once you have done the baseline optimization, both onsite and offsite, it’s time to just leave it alone for a while. Go take a walk, take a holiday, do nothing more than adding great and fresh content if you have any. And in the online world, it’s no different, people expect their site to rank well instantly, in fact they look for the latest and hotest tip to ‘outsmart’ the search engines. It’s almost suicidal!
Due to the recent hacking, my site went off the ranking charts completely, but just give it a few weeks or days, I am pretty sure it will come right back up again. I am optimzing for the term, singapore seo and seo singapore. Let me know if you find me on the top 10 again. As for now, I am not even gonna do anything other than just blogging from time to time.
