The day we ranked #1 in Google

The day we ranked #1 in Google:

Okay, so this morning I received this text message from my pal Greg (of eagle & chicken fame):

Number one ranked in Google, Celebration, Survive at Work, your one stop resource for work skills, work resources, work tools and work motivation. Hate work? Want promotion? Survive at work will help you thrive at work.

Yes it’s true… SurviveAtWork.com is now ranked first on Google!

That’s number 1 out of the 218,000,000 results which come up when you search for survive at work.

My mind is blown.  Two hundred and eighteen MILLION results… and we’re number 1!

Let me hear you say WOOHOO!!!

It was only back in September that we were celebrating being number 1 on Bing.  Back then, you’ll recall that number 1 on Google was an aspiration… albeit a seemingly unobtainable one.  Since then, we’ve gradually crawled up the rankings, consistently being kept from the top few slots by a few results that appeared to be anchored there, due to the fact they’re “big boy” sites like Life Hacker and Amazon. read more

Happy Monday #44

This week’s Happy Monday is a little later than usual – I’ve spent the morning in a Social Media Marketing workshop.  Talk about an awesomely refreshing way to start the week!
 
Thanks Business Wales – you guys are awesome 🙂

I’ve now returned home to sit and work in the gorgeous (albeit cold) sunshine with a very demanding little dog.

Guess who’s not happy that he’s been cooped up with the cat, rather than meandering along the lakeside on a long winter walk?  And guess who’s now playing the price? Yup, me…  😉 read more

Happy Monday #43

It’s that time of the week again – Happy Monday people of the interweb!  I hope you all had an awesome weekend 🙂

I stumbled upon this week’s Happy Monday last night, while I was doing something I call my “weekly recharge”.  I don’t know if any of you ever do this, but I’ll often spend some time thinking about the week ahead – boosting my motivation, building my energy and laser focusing on my goals.

If you have never done this by the way, it’s definitely worth giving a go – it works! read more

Good morning, good morning and a Happy Monday to you all!
 
I hope you’ve had an awesome weekend and spent your time doing stuff you love with people you like 🙂
 
Rocky and I went for a walk with some friends on Saturday.  I’m fortunate to live in a very beautiful part of the world, so this was one of the views along our walking route:

For someone with such little legs, Rocky held his own.  Indeed, he’s already asked me to start saving so he can attempt K2 in 2017.
 
Unfortunately, the lovely Welsh rain meant we were unable to undertake the further lakeside walk we had planned with the famous Mr Shaps on Sunday.  Instead we holed up in the house watching films, eating popcorn (me) and bones (Rocky).
 
Anyway, that’s enough about me… back to Happy Monday!

Happy Monday #41

It’s minus 3 degrees, a quick peek out of my window shows me that my car resembles a rather formidable ice box, my heating has been on constant for the past three days… and it’s still cold!  Needless to say, yet again I’m writing this buried beneath a blanket with Rocky the dog.

This week’s Happy Monday comes with a rather personal disclosure (or at least it’s a disclosure for those of you who don’t know me).

Sigh… I’m obsessed with Angela Lansbury. read more
