Do My Invoice, my web-based, RESTful invoicing solution, has been live for a couple of months now. Admittedly there hasn’t yet been a large number of registrations, probably because I haven’t really promoted it other than through this low-traffic blog, and because I hope that word-of-mouth may eventually kick in and result in a few more paying customers.
Interestingly though, I’ve somehow made the second page of Google results (currently sitting at position 16) for the keywords “web based invoicing”.
However, for the term “web based invoice”, the site is either so far down the list it can’t be found, or it doesn’t appear at all.
Also interesting: 3 weeks ago, DMI was at position 83 for the search term “invoices”, yet I can’t find it anywhere in the first 100 pages now — obviously we hit a broken rung in the Google ladder and fell down a few hundred feet.
Completely off-topic, but one thing this has highlighted as a gap in Google’s toolset is “Search Within”. It would be really useful to enter a few search terms, then find exactly where another term sat in those results. In other words being able to enter something like: “domyinvoice within: web based invoicing“, which gave you the results found within a set of results, along with the index positions. Seems like a killer Google feature for web developers, marketers and the like.
