09 Apr: update footer text in all sites (smarter and otherwise)
15 Apr: It seems as though Google bots actively trawl the site however as yet the engine itself doesn’t perceive there to be much content relevant to “Adam Arnold” searches. Clearly, backlinks aren’t an appropriate way to change this. All links posted in my previous test contained ‘Adam Arnold’ and linked to my profile page, so there are no issues with them being deemed irrelevant in terms of content or destination.
4th May: Success! It’s not quite the post/page I was after, but as of today if you pop “Adam Arnold” into a Google search you’ll see one of my most recent Twitter updates in 10th spot. I’ve not done anything new in the way of seo for the past month, so it does go to show my existing techniques are working. In particular, the Twitter feed updates are performing well.
Oooh, its there…
Pop “Adam Arnold” into Google and one of my latest Twitter updates appears in 10th place in the SERPs.

I suspect this won’t last long and it’ll get a Google bump fairly soon, but for now the objective has been accomplished. Only White Hat SEO techniques were used and it didn’t take THAT long.
