SEO Is it a marathon or a sprint?

Help! My daughter, Kara, wants me to run a Marathon. I ran one before and promised myself NEVER again!!!

But here I am, 10 years later, preparing go the distance. What am I thinking?

Today I ran 7 miles. Can I really run 26? Honestly I’m not so sure. One thing keeps me going. I am thrilled my daughter invited me to run with her and actually believes I can!

I think winning at the Search Engine game is a lot like training for a Marathon. It just can’t be done overnight – you need patience and perseverance. There are some days when you would prefer to forget about the task at hand, but the reality is that if you want to succeed you absolutely need to take decisive action.

You have work on your SEO a little bit each week, to keep moving forward and gaining strength. You start small and build on your successes. Heck you might even want to hire a coach to help you along. But the bottom line is that success is possible! By taking lots of small steps you can eventually reach the finish line and enjoy the rewards of your hard work, as you think about your next challenge.

Last year, I had a total blast running the half marathon. Mazatlan is a Rancho – everyone knows everyone else. At the race they were all screaming my name. Those who didn’t know me by name yelled, “Run, Barbie! Run!” Wow! I can’t remember anyone ever confusing me with a Barbie doll. Talk about an ego boost!

Now, I’m looking forward to taking on this new and exciting challenge and reaching for new heights.

What about you? Are you ready to work on dominating the Search Engine rankings and really push the limits on what you thought you could achieve?
