Amit Mehta and I were exchanging some friendly super affiliate banter during the Affiliate Summit over whose site ranked #1 in the Google search results for the keyword phrase “super affiliate”.
Amit said his SuperAffiliateMindset blog ranked number #1 and I was quite sure that it was my Super Affiliate Handbook site.
Well, here are the graphic results. (And remember, we’re comparing a blog to a one-page site… the blog should win hands-down!)
Super Affiliate with quotes…
Super Affiliate WITHOUT quotes…
That’s OK, Amit. I still love ya. 
Of course, in the long-run, it doesn’t really matter how either of us ranks on Google for the term ‘super affiliate’, because here’s what Wordtracker has to say about how many folks are really searching for the term…
Hmmm… a whopping maximum total predicted traffic of 9 searches for all of the major directories, search and pay per click engines today.
And here are the keyword phrases we both should be targeting.
BTW, I have no doubt that someone will respond with graphic images showing Amit’s site in the #1 spot. That’s OK, but my version of Google is better.

Haha, nice little competition for bragging rights. I’m seeing Amit’s site at #1 in my Google.
Hi Gyutae,
Aaaah. You should get the GOOD version of Google.
Cheers,
Ros
It’s still one of those phrases that it’s just neat to dominate. Don’t forget different SERPS are served for different geographic locations, so his site could very well be ranking #1 in his area, while yours does in your area.
Why should anyone really care? You are both going to receive rewards being where you are in Google. Good luck to you both.
Hi Robert,
You’re exactly right. I was really just having a little fun with Amit to see whether his renewed efforts at blogging included checking his pings and returning the linky love. I guess he must be too busy at the moment.
Cheers,
Ros
So let’s see who makes it to the top of the ‘affiliate marketing’ search term
Just so you know, I also see Amits site at the top (in .com and .co.uk).
AJ
Hi AJ,
Unlikely that I’ll get traction on the term ‘affiliate marketing’ with a one page sales letter that I don’t plan to change unless Google does a dance just for me.
Cheers,
Ros
Ros, like always you are dead honest, love that about you.
Funny how a lot of “internet marketers”, claim they are number one in the search engines for keywords that have little or no searches. LOL
The important thing is not the bragging but what you should be targeting.
Great point!
Well today it appears the ranking has flip flopped:
mindset is #1 today???????
Excellent. That is a a feather in the cap. It takes time. But. You are proof it can be done. And google loves you.
I read your Super Affiliate Handbook and to be honest I learned more from that then most other programs I joined like Wealthy Affiliate and Affiliate Classroom combined.
I like to use long tail keywords to grab the top ranking at Google. And make money online!! This way is easy!! =)
Hi Ros,
I agree with Tatiana Escalada that alot of so-called “Internet Marketing Gurus” out there who keep emphazing that they are ranked No.1 for their selected keywords on Google, where in actual facts their keywords have little searches online…! I agree that we should target good keywords that are highly searched on the major search engines and one excellent keywords tool is the Wordtracker!
With Regards,

Hi Ros & Everyone,
This is my first ‘speak my mind’ so I just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Paula, new to Affiliate Marketing and have got to say that The Super Affiliate Handbook is one of the best books I have read regarding the subject. Other material I have read has just been bits and pieces, kinda patchy if you know what I mean. Whereas Ros’ material is so well organized.
I can’t see anyone else being #1 in this field. You’re the best to me Ros!!
All the best and thank you so much for doing what you do,
Paula
It really doesn’t matter where YOU rank, Ros. YOU are number ONE in my book! Your Super Affiliate Hanbook is without a doubt the most exceptional course on the internet. I should know, I’ve purchased just about every other book out there. I can’t believe how much time I’ve wasted on the other drivel and half truths that have permeated the internet. Thanks for sharing the wealth and helping the rest of us lost souls toward the finish line! I wish you all the best, because you ARE the best!!
Jim
