We Made It to Page 1 of Google — Here’s the Struggle, the Joy, and a Shameless Thank You

We’re on the First Page of Google. No Chill, Just Gratitude.

Getting to Page 1 of Google is like finally being seated at the cool table…
...but only after screaming into the algorithm void for months while holding a glittery plug.

And now?
Shameless Plugs officially shows up when you Google us.

Yes — us.
Plugsy. Smugsy. Me. And now… you.

Because we didn’t do this alone.

😅 The Struggle Was Real

Let’s recap the journey to search engine recognition:

• Started with zero traffic and a website that said “hello world” in Comic Sans (by accident, I swear).

• Spent weeks writing witty reviews of tools no one asked for.

• Debated with AI about how often to say “plug.”

• Made too many dumb graphics (Smugsy still refuses to pose).

• Googled “why isn’t Google indexing me?” more times than I’d like to admit.

💡 What Actually Worked

• ✅ Posting consistently

• ✅ Writing for real people (not bots)

• ✅ Using keywords that sound like something you’d actually type at 2am

• ✅ Getting weird — because nobody remembers bland

But most of all?

You.
The clickers. The sharers. The curious scrollers who ended up on the site after typing things like “what’s a shameless plug” or “AI wrote my to-do list and it told me to nap.”

🥹 Seriously, Thank You

We joke a lot here.
But seeing Shameless Plugs ranking on Google?

That’s a win. And we owe that win to every reader who clicked, laughed, shared, or said “Wait, what is this?”

Whether you discovered us via a blog post, a Plugsy meme, or a suspicious Pinterest board — you're part of this chaotic, beautiful mess now.

Stay weird,
