The Branson Pro

We just completed a brand-new website. Well, almost completed There are still a few bugs that I’m trying to work out. But for all intents and purposes, the site is ready.

The name of the site is Tri Lakes Boat Slip Exchange - www.trilakesboatslipexchange.com - and it’s a personal site for me and a friend of mine. My friend had a great idea so we just ran with it.

Basically, the site is for people in the Branson area to list their boat slips, boats, and personal watercraft. It’s a new and unique idea to this area. And since there are 3 major lakes here, I’m sure there is plenty of sellers out there who would like to list their boat slip or boat for sell.

Now since this site is a personal one of my own, I’m going to push it as hard as I possible can and see just how high I can make it rank.

But instead of just going for a keyword like “Branson boat slips” or “Table Rock Lake boat slips“, I’m going for the gold on this one. I’m going to target the broader, more competitive keyword - “boat slip“.

Of course I’ll pick up the location-specific terms as well. But the main goal for me is to rank for the big one.

The real challenge for this site comes from the fact that it’s session and cookies-based. And we all know that makes the SEO job that more difficult.

Right now, there are only 1,790,000 results showing up in Google for the keyword: boat slip. I plan on being in the top 10 of those results within 3 months. It’s going to be interesting to see how it goes.
