Great news! We're almost there. The website in question is now at position #4 in the Google search results (on page one) for our chosen keyword phrase. Just a tiny bit further and we'll be in the coveted top three website results. I expect to be able to tell you very soon that we have achieved our ultimate goal.

The "link building test" becomes a slightly different animal at that point. It will be interested to see just how permanent these results are given that my new VA (virtual assistant) is using different and more varied SEO link building tactics. Soon I will be able to temporarily stop the project to find out just that. In other words, if the link building stops, how soon will the placement start to drop? And if so, how far? 

I'm pretty excited to find out. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks!
