SERM by Kevin Staker is Working re Paul Bishop and Take the Money and Run

I have been trying to get the author page of my best friend Paul Bishop to get ranked on the first page of search engine results when the term is "Take the Money and Run".  Take the Money and Run is the ABC reality game show that Paul Bishop stars in (although ABC does not want to admit he is a star, they call him an "interrogator".  I have not been successful in getting Amazon’s Paul Bishop page to get a good result. 

However, it is interesting because my estate planning blog and my merchantcircle blog do usually come up on the first page.  I guess they have quite a bit of credibility and I have some posts on each regarding Take the Money and Run.  

The Take the Money and Run show bio for Paul Bishop is located at http://abc.go.com/shows/take-the-money-and-run/bio/paul-bishop/809938

The Amazon.com author page for Paul Bishop is located at http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Bishop/e/B000APTEIY

We shall see if I have better results in the future.

 

 

 

 

Take the Money and Run on ABC

I will be trying to boost the web presence of my best friend, Paul Bishop.  Paul has had the great fortune to be hired as one of the two real law enforcement professionals on the on the new ABC reality/game show, Take the Money and Run.  Kevin is looking forward to the premiere of  Take the Money and Run on Tuesday, August 2nd, at 9 pm.  We will see if a little effort will result in increasing the web visibility of Paul Bishop.  For more info on the show go to the ABC press release, here.  In particular, I want to raise the connection between the search term, Take the Money and Run, and Paul’s author page on Amazon.com.

Buckdat has a great strategy it discusses for search engine reputation management.  It is a unique blog farm strategy. The idea is to not have all blogs refer to each other but to vary the links.  Kudos to the Buckdat team.

One of Favorite Videos of Kevin Staker

Following is link to one of my favorite videos: http://www.vimeo.com/1133466

 I have been a quite lazy in my online reputation management, and so the offending webpage has risen back to page two.  Hence, I am giving a boost to lower ranked pages.  Any link to the video with the reference to Kevin Staker would be appreciated.

Will Personalized Facebook Address of Kevin Staker Boost Ranking?

I remembered about 10 p.m. Pacific time that I could personalize my web address to my name, Kevin Staker, on Facebook.  I was surprised to see that the site was not overwhelmed with traffic.  I was able to get http://www.facebook.com/kevin.staker very quickly. 

I am only aware of another Kevin Staker in the United States.  (There is some online evidence of a Kevin Staker in Australia).  He is located in the D.C or Northern Virginia area I believe.  

I have been surprised that my Facebook page has not been showing up on any of the first pages on a search on Google.   The only result has been to a listing of Kevin Staker on a Facebook directory page.  With the popularity of Google, I have been surprised that the Facebook page of Kevin Staker has not received a higher ranking.

ReputationProfessor Has Some of the Most Current Advice

A very long and detailed site with several postings is http://reputationprofessor.com/.  I have implemented many of the suggestions already. I think my one downfall is many sites with reciprocal links with no real content.  I believe Google realizes it and is disregarding them.  Go to http://kevinstaker.wetpaint.com/.  If you "google" "Kevin Staker" you will see that many do not rank well at all.
