SEO takes a long time and is unpredictable, right? Not really. After being priced out of the first position using Google Adwords for the keyword "SEO minneapolis", I decided not to raise my bid (or work on my quality score) but instead do some SEO magic on that keyword. I spent less than an hour on it and within three hours I was on the first page. Unbelievable? Not if you have the right pieces in place.
