SEO Analysis - M9 under the Microscope

Last month I decided to apply content-based SEO (Search Engine Optimization) strategies to the M9 Website to see how our SEO theories worked in practice. The results were interesting, to say the least.

The Experiment
Basically I tracked six categories on Google.ca to see how the M9 Corporation ranking changed over a six week period. Since lower rankings on the Google search means sites are more likely to be visited by the curious my goal was always to lower the numbers. The categories I chose to monitor were: Winnipeg Web Development, Winnipeg Web Design, Winnipeg Web Content, Winnipeg Web Writing, Winnipeg Internet Corporation and Winnipeg SEO. In order to sample the results I ran searches from December 17, 2007 to January 29, 2008.
