Using the natural search authority of a user generated content (UGC) or social media web site it’s possible to post content and top a Google search in a short period of time. Assuming that you are chasing an unusual search term.
The image that I posted to flickr tonight of my desktop micro allotment project was indexed by Google in less than 60 minutes. The flickr photo description directs you to my blog for more information. I’ve successful captured the number top slot for a Google search term and am directing traffic to my site.
Google’s Keyword Tool reports that there are limited numbers of web users searching for the string “desktop allotment” of course, so what’s the point? But that could be part of a sales plan for to tackle a niche market. I can build content elsewhere on the internet around the string and define a new term. Motivated searchers will follow.

I hope you have planning approval for converting your town residence into a market garden
Working out yields/in. May need more space
Here’s a full analysis of the SEO competition for your term.
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=r15f72ghNZltDYZJ119JuCA
Your Flickr page only has Page Rank 0 and yet it has hit number one. If you look at the spreadsheet you can see why – on page factors have helped eg keyword in page title and header tag, plus the huge number of backlinks to the Flickr domain (as opposed to the page itself) and DMZ and Yahoo directory listings for Flickr.
Why not try adding the keyword term to the page title and header tag to your blog page (ranked 4 in the SERP) and see if that makes a difference?
There are a mere 13 pages on the entire web that contain the term “desktop allotment” in the page title:
http://www.google.com/search?q=allintitle%3A%2Bdesktop%20%2Ballotment&btnG=Search&meta=15&filter=0&num=10&start=0&safe=off&gl=us&hl=en
You’ve got 3 of them – so you have 23pc of the page title market
If search volumes increase for the term you are in a good place to capture the interest.
Thanks for sharing addition insight Andy.
I’m limited by WordPress template in terms of what I can do with page titles and header tags, but your point is well made.
Have you installed the All in one SEO Pack? http://semperfiwebdesign.com/portfolio/wordpress/wordpress-plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/#more-59 As that might help with your page title, header tags etc issue.
As Adam has pointed out, the All-In-One-SEO pack plug-in for self-hosted WordPress blogs is very good – great for adding a proper page description too (rather than letting Google guess) – does make a difference to click through rates.
