Rankings & Link Review
FindBuffalo.com has been available to the world for 45 days now so I thought it would be a good time to offer up a review on some of the keywords I’m starting to pull traffic for and also layout the sites I have managed to pull links from. As a quick review I will say that I have found it easier going to gain rank with search results on Yahoo than Google (still no major traction there), some progress from MSN and no love from Ask.com. Is there a trick to getting Ask to notice you? Let me know. So here are some specifics to what I can offer. If I don’t list an engine, I simply do not appear in their top 100 results. Damn you Google.
Search Term: buffalo mn - #5 MSN - #27 Yahoo
Search Term: golds gym buffalo mn - #1 Yahoo
Search Term: community center buffalo mn - #10 Yahoo - #12 MSN
Search Terms: buffalo mn news - #1 MSN - #3 Yahoo
Here are the links I’m aware of for FindBuffalo:
City of Buffalo (on drop down nav under community - org’s)
Buffalo School District - District #877
WrightSpot (Wright County Community Site)
DelanoMN (Delano MN Community Site)
Zion Lutheran Church - Buffalo, MN
Marci Weiche, Buffalo, MN Realtor
Wikipedia - Buffalo MN

Good to track such results
But I have to be honest - no matter what the metrics out there say, Yahoo and MSN are inconsequential compared to Google. Then again, you are getting some good local links, so that will happen eventually.

Thanks Ahmed - I completely agree. For my clients, Google out delivers search and users by an average of 4 to 1 every time. I laugh because, I was sitting there while posting … thinking this is worthless … but still wanting to post on some progress. I hope your right … Google success will come.
ps- Congrats on Nashville and more blog posts!
