This blog on Holly Mann continues to get Google Rank No. 2 on the keyword Holly Mann for over a week now and I could not be happier. Of course, when I started this blog about 13 months ago, I was shooting for the No. 1 spot. This Holly Mann blog was my SEO experiment, following the techniques outlined by Holly Mann in her ebook Honest Riches. And now, because of persistence and consistency, it has reached the peak of Google index.
Not bad for a stay-at-home mom who just challenged herself that she could beat the arena of Search Engine Optimization. It's quite a feat knowing that Holly Mann herself is a professional search engine optimizer and knows the ins and outs and all the complexities of the game of SEO.
This blog is my testimony. I know lots of marketers are optimizing the keyword Holly Mann and they even pay to be in the first page or the next. I was just looking at the sponsored listing on the page -- it goes up to the 21st page of Google -- I kept clicking to know but got tired.
But you know what, being on top of Google isn't everything. I'll tell you on the next post.

I'm afraid to buy another ebook!
If honesty is the hallmark of this blog, I would confess that Honest Riches is mainly the reason why I'm afraid to buy another ebook. It made me skeptical and leery of another ebook-- the fear that it's not it. The fear of yet another failed expectation.
Don't get me wrong, Holly Mann's Honest Riches is a good ebook but almost two and a half years from when I bought it, I'm still stuck. Why? Because it is not the ebook for me. It does not match me or what I'm looking for. Now, because Honest Riches is the first ebook I bought in the market, I'm afraid all ebooks or egoods out there are the same: good sales pitch, good cover, but limited substance within.
But this is just a personal opinion. I don't know about you and I can't advise you. My story may be different from yours. I'm just having a dilemma that's why I'm writing this. I just encountered this Yahoo Cash for Idiots and I really really really really really want to buy this ebook but I can't because of my fear to buy another ebook. Yes, even if it has an iron-clad no-question asked money-back guarantee.
So here I am. I guess the main reason I'm stuck is buying Holly Mann's eBook in the first place. But then again, I look back and thought I would never have all the general knowledge on internet marketing if not for Holly Mann. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here. I can't see beyond the tunnel. Maybe I'm blind and just hard to learn or I'm so focused on the goal and missing out on something.
The main thing is, I'm afraid to buy another ebook.

Google Ranking and the New Year
Right now, this blog on Holly Mann, author of Honest Riches is enjoying a fourth google ranking for several consecutive weeks. I should be glad because this is just a blog and not a website. I don't pay to maintain this site as this is hosted through Blogger. Also, I have no page ranking as you can see. This blog is just what it is -- a blog. I just post whenever there is something about internet marketing that I stumbled upon or when there is about Holly Mann that I want to post here.
But I dont trust search engine. One time you're on top but the next day, you could be gone: completely...without nothing. As in a bubble, pop!... then you've vanished and you are just history.
I must admit, I am ecstatic everytime I see Holly Mann blog, which as you know is named Hollymannia, on top of Google but I don't let it get in my head. But now, I finally decided to monetize on this blog. Since I get about 20 visits everyday, I will put more advertising and see if it works. I really will and I will start today.
Today is the 2nd day of 2009. What a new year. My new year's day was great. This year, I'll start over again. And my goal? $50,000.00. Nothing can stop me now.
