All about Brine. An SEO blog on the name and substance known as Brine

by Gregory Brine

Ok, so part of the aim of building my website originally, other than so my friends could keep track of my travels, was to try and get my name in lights on Google. By this, I mean that I wanted my surname, Brine, to rank near the top of Google, if not the top, then very near it. This is made difficult by the amount of PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising that takes up the first 9 results., to rank near the top of Google, if not the top, then very near it.

By this, I mean that I wanted my surname, , to rank near the top of Google, if not the top, then very near it. This is made difficult by the amount of (Pay Per Click) advertising that takes up the first 9 results.Running a search on the 3 major search engines, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft Live Search, you can see that my site struggles to get a good search position. In fact, the best position I managed is page 8 on Google - which isn’t too bad, but I want higher.So, what can I do about this? Well, the first thing to do is lookup what sites do appear for Brine. It’s clear to see that being such a common substance, the primary results are not as clearcut as you would expect. The mix includes definitions from sites such as Wikipedia and the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia. This kind of makes sense, as a lot of sites will link to these, and they provide a good dense usage of Brine in their content.

Next up comes the cookery sites, with some great cooking tips from Cooking For Engineers and Ochef on the process of Brining. Behind that comes some of the more obscure things, such as Brines Sporting Goods, and Water flows on Mars, by the BBC. There’s also sites on treating water with Brine, such as Brine tanks by the Clack Corporation.

But, in amongst all this are the personal sites. How some of these get here is a mystery! One example that I’ve never worked out is chrisgregory.com. How that site stays in the index is beyond me, as it’s not been updated since May 2005. But, then there’s the genuine ones, such as the American singer, Mark Brine.

So, what am I doing to try and change this. Well, this blog is a start. The idea being that I’ve made good use of my keywords, Brine and Brining, ensuring that they’re used a suffecient amount - but not too much - and where possible, linked either back to this site or to external sites, such as Wikipedia that talk about Brine. There’s also the social tags I’ve used. Obviously, the main ones are Brine and Brining, along with my usual tags. I’ll be posting the page around a few websites, and relying on the RSS Syndication to work it’s magic. Then, hopefully in a week or so, I’ll start to see to a difference for that keyword…

The true measure of this SEO test will be whether or not using Brine in this way will make a difference. I’ll keep you posted…
