Thank you to everyone who visited JDScreative over the past few days. The campaign (launched via email, Linked’in, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and TXT message) was extremely successful and generated some interesting initial results, with which I am extremely pleased. Prior to the launch campaign, a search for Damian Shepard would not show the website for JDScreative in any results. With that in mind, my goal with this launch was to have my name Damian Shepard result with JDScreative receiving ranking on the three major search engines (Google, Bing (MSN), and Yahoo).


= 1st page, 8th listing
= 1st page, 1st listing
= 3rd page, 2nd listing

Further, Any search for Damian Shepard produces multiple sites (all linked to me). This is a direct result of working to implement my networking strategy and broaden my web presence using current web 2.0 and networking websites. My sites on, Linked’in, Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter, all produce results in the top 10 accompanied by Whitepages.com, Classmates.com and the Auburn University Alumni Association.


Moving forward:
SEO: Focus energy towards pushing JDScreative into the top 5 results on Google when searching Damian Shepard. As for Yahoo – I am weighing the value of focusing efforts towards improving that ranking versus their share of the search engine market. I’d be very excited to hear from any SEO colleagues or specialists on this topic.

Relaunch of JDScreative

The new look/design is up. It's been a few months in the making, trying to determin which direction to go with graphics and content and then pulling it all together in a webpage.
