It's true.... It's TRUUUUUUUEEEEE!!!!!! 
Of course I shouldn't get too excited. That darn website bounces around from page to page. But this is my first search results to hit page 1. Heck, my AR profile usually outranked my own website.
I did a couple of tweaks to my title tags and it shot right up. I didn't realize I had them wrong until I read Suzanne Stephens' BLOG about the topic. So, I went and started poking around in my HTML to see what was up.... and it wasn't good. But it is better now and I am so excited, that I can hardly type.
Now I can get more Texas Mortgage Loan Information out to the masses. I can't wait to see if my hits go up....
And now I have got my work cut out for me..... to get more search terms up there.
I am going to be BUSY, BUSY, BUSY..... reading and applying my knowledge. It sure motivates me to actually see results.
Thing is, I have been so busy with loans lately, that I have hardly had time for marketing stuff. I guess I need to follow my own advice and MAKE TIME!!!
Did I mention that my website hit PAGE ONE OF GOOGLE?
Thanks ActiveRain!!! 
And thanks to all of you guys that are sharing the good knowledge. 
Off to work.... thanks for looking. ;-)

Congratulations! AR sure does a great job of boosting your web presence. I'm still not showing up on my major one, but am rocking on some of the long tail ones!

TOM..... this is AWESOME & CONGRATS...... Especially Dallas since this is a bigger area. So... what things did you tweak? Can you share? Inquiring minds want to know. What did you do in the html?
Again, CONGRATS!!!!!
Yes, Jeff... Dallas is a very large and competitive market.
I simply removed my website name out from in front of the title tag 'Texas Home Loans'.
I did it yesterday.... when I was on page 5
This morning, I am PAGE ONE, BABYYYYYY!!!!!!!
