At Blog Consulting we have been writing this series of articles to help you get a successful blog started.  We have set up a blog called Alternative Energy (Alternative Energy Online).  If you have been following along with these articles you should now have a blog in pretty good place for a beginning blog.

We have already told you that time is a big factor in how well your blog will do on search engines.  The Alternative Energy Online is a very new site.  On a Google search done today for Alternative Energy Online the site showed up on page 7 in position 71:

The blog doesn’t currently show up for a keyword search of Alternative Energy.  It also isn’t showing up on Yahoo or MSN yet either.  All of those search results will take time.  The Alternative Energy niche is very competitive and it will take a lot of time to get the site noticed.  If your blog is in a less competitive niche it could show up a lot faster.  We have some blogs that became page 1 returns within the first two months of their existence.   Keep writing keyword rich articles and your search results will keep getting better.
