Hey Fastlaners,
So I decided a few weeks ago that I am going to create a transparent blog series & forum thread on my SEO campaign to rank for the keyword 'freelance web designer'. Most people usually don't share work details in their SEO campaigns thinking their competitors will copy their steps and try to rank for them too; but I believe the benefits of people learning off of me and work/progress/results far outweigh the threats of a competitor.

I actually meant to write my first post a couple weeks ago, but finally got around to it today. So the first post is basically catching you up on what has happened in the past 3-4 weeks since I first posted a 1-page splash site up on the domain.

Anyways, here's my first post: Introduction And Current SERP Ranking – Part 1 SEO Journey | Freelanceful Blog

Enjoy, and feel free to leave any questions or comments on the blog or in this thread and I'll be sure to check back often. I'll post any new updates to this thread as well. Coming up next is: my keyword research I did & on-page optimization on the site..
