I Want to be the #1 “Zac” on the Web!
Branding is everything, especially if you are focusing on the brand name of your business, blog or web site. Through ZacJohnson.com I’ve been able to generate a ton of new business, help people make money online and meet people from all over the world… but that’s not enough. I want to be the #1 search ranking for the keyword “zac” as well!
Unfortunately with the world wide success of “Zac Efron”, he pretty much dominates the search results for that term. I have never done any seo or monetization to try and rank for the term “zac”, but after talking with SeoLinkWheelers, we thought it would be a great case study to see how close and fast we can run the blog up to #1 on Google for the term.
Before coming up with the seo case study idea, this blog ranked #34 for the term “zac”. After just a couple weeks, the blog is now ranking between 9-14 when I search for the term. Not too shabby at all!
How to Improve Your Search Rankings.
When using SEOLinkWheelers, I went with their Platinum packages, which covers all areas of content creation and link building. A mixture of over 84 different methods for building back links, SEOLinkWheelers created video, blog posts, web 2.0 articles and various other links and contents among their own sites and top social networking and article sites. Once all of this content is created, they interlink all of the content and build a big link wheel. To continually keep seeing better results, new content is created and built into the link wheels.
You’re Going Down Zac Efron!
As mentioned, Zac Efron dominates the first page of Google results for the term “zac”, though he does not hold the #1 spot… which is for “Zac Browser”, a web browser built for autistic children. As for the term “Zac Johnson”, I’ve been at #1 on that position for quite a long time now.
The higher your page rank, quality of content, age of domain, back links and back linking terms all effect your seo marketing and where you rank in the search engines. I will keep you updated as the SEO Link Wheelers team continues their amazing efforts and progress!

haha, I've always wanted to be the #1 "Luke" and have contacted both the guy that owns Luke.com and the @Luke Twitter user, but no one seems to want to sell 🙁

It would be awesome to have a one word first name domain, especially if it was a dot com.
SO excited the watch this happen! It probably won't be quite so hard to rank for "graham" – maybe I'll do it one of these days.

Definitely, go for it! Page 1 results for "graham" are all over the place.
5,000,000 global monthly searches for "graham" – yes please.
Exactly, and you don't have to worry about people forgetting your name 😛
Zac;
Do these sorts of link wheels boarder on blackhat? You're not at all worried that you'll build too many links too fast and get the Google slap on your main domain?
My recent post Getting the rights to a book so you can write a screenplay based on it
The links are all original content and on social networks. It's not like they are spamming forums or blog comments. The original content takes time to create, so the links are spread out over time.
AND your domain has ALOT of AGE and AUTHORITY, so it can take a large link building campaign. I think a campaign of platinum size on a brand new domain would yield different results (sandboxing, less effective, etc.)
Having time and quality content on your side is always a plus.

I'm already the number one Kevin Kimes SERP, but I doubt I'll ever become the number one "Kevin" on Google. Far, far too many famous actors, athletes, authors, etc, etc, etc. That's what I get for having a semi-common name.
The only reason I built on my name was that I already had the domain, and "everybody else is doing it", like Zac, JohnChow, etc, etc. Though, after I'd already made headway, I saw advice that I should have chosen a brand name. Ah well, it's mostly our content and hard work that count!

No problem in using your real name… just don't plan on selling your site 😛

Lady Gaga is not her real name, hopefully everyone gets that. She chose that as a stage name as part of her "branding" process when she invented the persona. It worked. Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is a brilliant marketer of her above-average musical abilities.
Michael Jordan's name would have been ridiculously successful no matter what his name was. He could have been Francios Zytkowski, and every kid would have been begging their parents for Nike Air Zytkowski's, and those famous initials would have been FZ, instead. 🙂

Hi zac, great post. When I first saw this post, I googled "zac" and there is only one zac turned out on the 1st page of my query, that is zac efron. That search was done with google.com.sg, which I am based. So I tried searching on google.com, I was surprised that you were ranking for the first page. With using seolinkwheelers, you'll be able to ranked your keyword. Definitely, zac efron is going down. 🙂

Haha good luck at that one.
Please give me tips. My boyfriend said he always wanted to pretend he was with Zac Efron. I want to make this dream come true for a few days. It would sound a lot of fun both for him and me.
Not sure I can help you on that one…

I think Zac Browser does indeed deserve a higher spot than your blog though, it does so much more for kids with autism, ur blog, not so much good for the world.
All the power to Zac Browser. For them to rank #1 at the moment, I'm sure they have a ton of powerful backlinks. I wouldn't mind being #2 to them.

One of my old sites used to rank #1 for the name Jen. I don't know how I did it because at the time I didn't know anything about SEO. I guess there aren't any celebs that go by Jen (just tons of Jennifers) so I got lucky. The last time I checked a girl I know ranked #1 for Jen – what are the odds?

Crazy. I'm sure it's not an easy term to rank for.

I chose the domain name White Hat Writing because I had this picture I wanted to use for a logo and the woman is wearing a white hat. After I bought the domain it occurred to me that it was a pretty good name for someone who writes online content. But I never thought of actually trying to rank for the term 'white hat'. Only 29,600,000 competition. Piece of cake! 😀 Thanks for the great article. I'm gonna see if I can make it to page 1.

Taking on Zac Efron huh? Good luck to you! I'd just be careful about the link system and growing them too fast. Links should build naturally over time. A quick jump could raise a red flag to the search engines.
