A couple of months ago I talked my youngest daughter into working on a couple of websites for herself, because I thought it would be fun for her and I to have a common interest.  She has been doing a lot of article writing for her personal blog and the results she is getting are just amazing.  The other day I noticed that she was getting hits from the SERPS for the term “blonde chunks” and while I was taking her to her clarinet lesson today, I told her about the hits she is getting.  Tonight after she tells me good night and goes up to her room she came back down to tell me that she searched for -blonde chunks- and her website came up number 7 in the results.  To me it is just amazing for a ninth graders 2 month old blog to be showing up in the SERPS that high for a 2 word phrase.

While we were looking at the results from our search I decided to copy another small phrase from her website and search for it.  Bam there she is number 6, now we are just beside ourselves, giving each other high fives, and looking at all of the other sites that she is ranked above.  We search another small phrase, again she shows up at number 11.  These are incredible results for such a new website.  So we talk for a few minutes and she goes back upstairs.  But I am so happy for her that I had to write a little something here to share my pride in a little girl who is dedicated and doing a great job.  I just wish that I had the same kind of success that she is having.  Okay I am a little jealous, but mostly I am glad that I could share something with her that I love and I hope that she is learning to love it just as much, with results like those I am sure she does.
