That depends on what keywords you're on the top of the list for. Also whether you deserve to be ranked highly for those words and whether when your current QDF slips you can maintain your position and make the use of it that you want.

So what's your website, what keywords and what's your goal?

Not sure if it is deserving either. Thank you for any insight. I'm a newbie to SEO and was thinking the positioning was a good thing. I've been lurking around sites like these trying to learn how this crazy World Web operates.

The website is juancorbett.com. Keywords? I plug in the name into the browser search and it comes up #1. Goals?, Like most of here, to work on projects that are fun and make a little bank. jc, I am an Artist/Designer.

Given that this hacker news thread is the 5th result for "Juan Corbett", I'm not sure you had much competition for your name as a keyword in the first place.

OK, I wonder if I can rank higher by tomorrow?

Yahoo:2, Bing:-, Google:4 (slipped a place overnight).

So, no then. But I did manage to rank above HaneyArt though, which isn't bad for overnight and considering the lack of domain keywords.
