It is sort of embarrassing to admit, but for whatever reasons Google may have, they were ranking my LinkedIn.com profile #1 in google for a “Collin LaHay” search. For those of you who don’t know yet, Collin LaHay is my name.

It seemed odd that I had received a pagerank 5 and having an extreme amount of trust on my domain, that Google wouldn’t think I should rank the top result for my own name. It just goes to show that you should register your name, as well as your companies, and possibly even your competitors as users on many of the web2.0 websites because they are growing so fast and the search engines give them so much authority.

My name is Collin LaHay, and this is my blog. I am a young entrepreneur (age 18), and unlike most people my age, I earn a living from the web. I am living proof that anyone who has the will and determination to succeed can make money online, and I hope to inspire you to do the same. This blog is all about sharing my coveted website marketing strategies that few (if any) other self-proclaimed professionals would keep to themselves or sell. I strongly believe in sharing techniques and branding myself as someone who helps other people before himself. My main focus is teaching you how to increase website traffic, search engine optimize your content, and combining that with link building and other promotional techniques. I am hoping this blog will be beneficial to you, whether you are new to internet marketing trying to make your first dollar online, or are a seasoned professional looking to continue dominating your niche. I plan to show you every trick that the other big guys would keep to themselves.
