It was late at night, and I got up from bed somehow. I habitually turned on the computer, double-clicked the keyword query tool to aimlessly check the ranking of my website. When I had some free time, my mind was confused. There will be some strange thoughts, such as whether I am really suitable to be a website and what am I doing? Looking back at that time a year and a half, I went from a person who knew nothing to a relatively professional SEO webmaster. The bitterness is like a fountain. Many times, a person wanders alone in the desert of the Internet. The loneliness and confusion in it may not be experienced by many people.
Although the future is still unclear, the consolation is that I can support myself now, which is much better than the Qin Jian who was just a meal a year and a half ago. At that time, he was so poor that he couldn't even afford a com meter. I remember the me that I was a year and a half ago, except for the 500 yuan my sister gave me for living expenses, and after reducing my food expenses for a month, there was basically nothing left. At the beginning, I was extremely inexperienced. I could only use DW to create a few ugly HTML web pages. Although I had won awards in school and provincial competitions, I felt that making a dynamic website was so important to me. Far away. I don’t know CMS, I don’t know ASP, PHP, I don’t even know how to sell domain names, let alone domain name resolution. At the beginning, a graduated senior hired several of us juniors to update his website for 200 yuan. He had to post 10 to 15 posts every day, and only paid 200 yuan in one month. I still remember that in the first month, because I didn’t post enough and my salary was deducted 50 yuan, which means I only paid 150 yuan. Now that I think about it, I was worse than a migrant worker at that time. I carefully edited every post, and each post only cost 4 cents. Posts are required to be clearly marked. The author of the source must be consistent with the content and not repeat anything. It cannot be boring anymore. If the quantity and quality do not meet the standards, you will be looked at. It is really unpleasant to think about it now. But I was still very happy when I got 150 yuan, because it was the first time I earned money, so I saved the money from my part-time job to build a website later.
When I first started to learn how to make a website, I knew that a website must be built using a dynamic website program to have advantages. So after searching on Baidu N times, I finally found out about CMS. I started to learn how to set up an IIS server and ASP CMS. It made me very unhappy. Until now, I have always used PHP programs. At that time, I was particularly addicted to forums, so I chose Discuz! to test locally (I still like Discuz! to this day), and then to 5D6D I applied for a forum and asked my classmates at work and netizens to develop my first website together, our home: Deep Computer Technology Forum. When I first started building a website, how did I know what Baidu inclusion and Baidu ranking were? I didn’t even know that the website should be submitted to Baidu and the Baidu submission entrance. It all grew up slowly in the N-word Baidu N-word search results. I had no one to guide me. People can consult, but they are all groping in the dark. Now think about how difficult it was for me at that time. I relied on myself and Baidu to learn. At that time, I was also the president of the school's Internet Association. I remember that on the first day when the forum was just opened, I posted messages late at night until after three o'clock. I was very busy with many things. With the support of netizens and friends, I have been working on this forum. After more than half a year, although the forum is not very good, I have learned a lot.
Here I would like to express my gratitude to the netizens who have supported me and Shen Shen in the past: Angle, Nangong, Baoyou, Wei, Yinuo, Donghua (Shen Shen entrusted manager), MAC, Nightingale (current girlfriend), Wang Yuhang (current studio Partners), Lanzi, Fangfang, Jiang family, etc., the names are not listed one by one. Although they gradually disappeared from the depths as I faded away, the feelings at that time are something I will never forget in my life. Thank you. , netizens who have supported Shenshen, and the free forum space provided by 5D6D are really good. Starting from Deep Learning, I learned domain name resolution, website reposting, and some other issues that seem idiotic now. In Deep Learning, maybe it should be the stage of laying the foundation. This basic knowledge is all self-taught. At that time, I also had to take care of studying, so I have been studying for more than half a year. Since then, I have learned some things about search engines and started to understand issues such as how original articles should be. However, I still don’t understand what SEO is. No matter how hard I worked at that time, the traffic It is always around 800IP/day.
After half a year of building the website in Shenshen, I started to be obsessed with WordPress. It was a wonderful thing for me to come into contact with WordPress. Since then, I have started my blogging journey, starting from Rainbk.cn. At the beginning, I was a blog enthusiast who could only post wallpapers. I would only diligently collect some wallpapers and write some blog articles every day. Other people's blog posts made me acquainted with bloggers. It was at this time that I began to pay attention and learn to observe. During the process of building the blog, I had never seen a tutorial and found traces of SEO in the boring data pile day after day. I found that the name in the comment was ranked very high on Baidu. Later I found out that it was an anchor text with nofollow added, which was very helpful for Baidu ranking. So I became interested in SEO and started a technical blog called Pcliver.cn. I started a blog. Most of the articles I wrote were about WordPress, but it was only after a month or two that I started to study SEO seriously.
Then I built a free virtual host website. This was my first and most successful SEO case. Within two or three months, I completed all the words included in the title such as free virtual host, free PHP host, and free host. Baidu ranked first and second, but later sold it at a low price, and used the money from the sale to build future websites. I was still very poor at that time, and I was so poor that I had to plan carefully when spending money, unlike now... Start a blog at Pcliver.cn Two months later, I changed the name of my blog to Deep SEO, then to Dongguan & Meizhou SEO, and finally to the current Dongguan SEO. The long and difficult process cannot be described here. All I can say is that I In less than a year of learning SEO, I have never seen many tutorials. I just rely on myself to feel. SEO is not a technology, SEO is experience.
As Pcliver.cn grew, my understanding of SEO became deeper and deeper. During the winter vacation, I successfully optimized QQ2009 to the third place on Baidu in one month. At that time, it achieved the highest daily traffic of 2.8W in one and a half months. After IP traffic, I bought the website and continued to invest money in later construction. It was in QQ2009 that a netizen met me through my friend's introduction and asked me to help him optimize and make money on idle (the netizen's ranking dropped after changing the program). At that time, Baidu was not as perverted as it is now in 2009, so it went smoothly. I reached the top spot on Baidu in a month and a half. During this short winter vacation, I earned the largest amount of money in my life, more than 7,000 yuan. There is a huge difference. For example, the big customers I know earn more than 10,000 yuan a day, and Zhiwei earns more than 10,000 yuan a month.) At that time, I felt that I was finally a bit promising, and my parents finally stopped scolding me and would get rid of them. I have been playing computer games for a long time. Since then, I have started to transform and transition to professional SEO. After the school started, I started to officially take orders. There are some successful cases and some failed orders that I am still processing. After the school started, I also wrote a book " "Wordpress SEO Chinese Textbook", life is half-dead in the rush.
Recently, I started to participate in the Gubaiyou Competition of the webmaster website admin5.com. I made a Gubaiyou rice casually. With the support of 30 netizens’ links, I got a good ranking and finally gained some confidence in myself. At the end of the competition, there were some disturbances about rankings and being DDOSed, but even if I can't win the championship of Baidu and Google, I don't mind anymore. Gu Baiyou is a rubbish competition, but there are still many good people. I am very happy and fortunate to have met four good netizens, Zhiwei, Big Customer, Xiaoxin, and Immortal Grass during this experience. If Pcliver.cn is the beginning of my SEO journey, then Gu Baiyou is the beginning of my entrepreneurial thinking. What Gu Baiyou learned in middle school was not SEO technology, but more about thinking and life. Before joining Gu Baiyou, I was a frog in the well. After joining Gu Baiyou, I had been working behind closed doors and finally opened my eyes. After communicating with some masters and seniors, I learned a lot, and Gu Baiyou Rice also improved after a month and a half. It was upgraded to PR5. This is my first PR5 website. Perhaps Gu Baiyou is the biggest transformation of my thoughts. Compared with Gu Baiyou, it is a small group on the Internet and a corner of society. It is also the first time for me to have such close contact with society and understand that I am currently I have benefited a lot from the situation and understanding some interpersonal interactions in society.
I have written so much, but these short words may not be able to describe all the bitterness of growing up as a webmaster. Compared with many webmasters of the same age, my achievements seem very small. The big clients I know are one year younger than me but earn hundreds of thousands a month. Zhiwei is one year older than me but earns more than 10,000, but I don’t. Only by knowing the right skills can I achieve a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan. In the coming days, I will continue to work hard to achieve a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan as soon as possible. Since the establishment of Pcliver.cn, I have had a feeling of rushing to be on the shelves. I have forced myself to run forward, eagerly studied SEO, started taking orders after ranking one or two, and then joined Gubai to rush to the shelves. The competition seems to have come too fast, and it seems to have progressed too slowly. Although I am still in college now, I have basically given up on my professional studies. I skip classes and do not study, which is looked down upon by my classmates and teachers. In the eyes of those who have gone out into society or those who are "calm" around me, I seem to be a I am an arrogant person, but I know that this is a choice I made after thinking calmly. It is not so much a choice as a no-go. I have liked playing computers since I was a child, but I am not interested in professional programming. Why bother? Force yourself to learn something you don’t like.
Life is only a few decades long. It doesn’t matter how much money you can make before you die, but you have little struggle before you die. You have to enjoy both the process and the results. I often think about how a person's life should be lived to be meaningful. This is a relatively high-level question. For me, many things are meaningless. Many things are regarded as indifferent to me. Now I just I hope to be able to achieve something in a certain aspect, not to stand out from the crowd, but to stand out somewhere. Since I have chosen SEO, I should do it well and learn from senior ZAC. The feeling recorded in my QQ space is that this kind of behavior is like gambling in life. If you lose, you have nothing. The future is uncertain and the outcome is unpredictable. No matter the outcome is a loss or a win, I will not regret it, because it is my own choice! Finally, I am very grateful to my girlfriend Nightingale. I rarely spend time with her, but she has always been so supportive of me. Thank you. I also want to thank those who have always supported me by Qin Jian’s side, and the netizens who rely on that trust to communicate with me on the Internet. Friends, the kindness of a drop of water is repaid by a spring of water. There are few close friends in life, so cherish them!
Finally, here are some suggestions for students who want to become webmasters: 1. You must seriously consider whether you are suitable to become a professional webmaster. After all, the life of a webmaster is very hard. 2. You have to learn by yourself. At least I have basically learned by myself all the way. Many times I will be asked questions by some people that everyone on Baidu knows. Such people are unbearable and they probably won’t have great achievements. Yes, don’t always think about relying on others. 3. Make friends widely and choose suitable friends to interact with attentively. Don’t always think about getting things from others and not letting others get things from you. This kind of person is the most despised. Treat your friends with care and your career will go more smoothly, but don't rely on your friends. 4. Thinking and innovation are indispensable. Many webmasters in China do not make money because they only know how to collect and post without thinking. Many webmasters in China cannot make big money because they do not know how to innovate. 5. Execution ability. Execution ability is very important. If you have innovation but do not execute it, if you have a plan and do not do it, it will be useless no matter how smart you are. The above points are what I think are more important, and I’m not very good at them, so everyone should encourage me.
