Spa Emergency ranks!
October 17th, 2006 • Posted by Bill Bice • Permalink
We launched Spa Emergency less than two months ago, and we've already got great news to report about our ranking on search engines. We've focused on "spa gift certificates" even though this is a very competitive keyword. (Have you ever noticed that "keywords" should really be called "keyphrases"?)
First, the easier target: MSN. Spa Emergency ranks #1 for "spa gift certificates" on MSN, and that's been the case for a couple of weeks now. That means we're above SpaFinder, above SpaWish — above everyone!
Now, for the harder nut to crack: Google. Thanks to what many people call the Google sandbox, it's no small challenge to get new websites to rank well, no matter how great or relevant your site is. But this past weekend, Spa Emergency has started appearing for "spa gift certificates" on the first page of results on Google. In the last position, mind you, but we know how important it is to make it onto the first page. Because of the nature of search engine optimization, Spa Emergency's rankings will move around some.
We still have a lot of work to do to move further up and better promote your spa, but we are more than slightly pleased with the early results.

That's awesome. Congratulations!
Keep up the great work!
Congratulations! I continue to be impressed with what SpaBoom has accomplished.
I am proud to be part of the SpaBoom community!
You rock SpaBoom! Thanks for the great work.
WAY TO GO SPABOOM!
Great job, it would help my business greatly if you would also market the site as a place to get "massage gift certificates" instead of just "spa gift certificates." I am not a spa, but utilize SpaBoom's services and recomend them to others.
Not everyone looking for a massage are looking for a spa setting. And some wouldn't even think of searching for a massage therapist with "spa" search.
