One of the major tests of the quality of SEO work performed by consultants is whether they’re able to achieve #1 or #2 rankings at major search engines through organic placement on keywords valuable to their clients. I’m happy to announce today that I’ve achieved #1 or #2 ranking at all three major search engines - Google, Yahoo, and MSN - for a client near and dear to my heart: myself.

Over the past 18 months or so, I’ve conducted an informal organic SEO campaign to try to get my webcomic series Split Lip ranked on the keywords “horror web comic” and “horror web comics,” two keywords dead on the money for the series. As of this week, I noticed that Split Lip had the following rankings on these keywords:

At Google
horror web comics - #1 for Split Lip [screenshot]
horror web comic - #1 for Split Lip [screenshot]

At Yahoo
horror webcomic - #2 for Split Lip [screenshot]

At MSN
horror web comic - #2 for Split Lip [screenshot]

I also have top five rankings on some related keywords. I hope to be able to share top-two results on those keywords soon.
