Posts showing up on Google Search

This is a touchy area so I want to be clear from the get go that I do not sell mailorder or by the internet. I made a website for my backyard nursery and have been doing all manner of things to get it to come up in a web search. That is how I found the GW. I want to stay here so I have no problem abiding by the rules. What has been happening though is that when I put in key words for searching for my site, the posts I have been doing in the GW are showing up on page one. Now that would be fine if I could link from there to my site, but it is verboten and I respect that. My site never shows up and it is months older than the posts I've done.

Now I can guess that it is all about money and advertising with search engines to get my site to show up directly, but in a way it is a bit creepy to have my posts show up on a Google search. To a certain extent it is a private conversation with you guys even though I'm finding out that once it's out there it isn't private in any way. I'm thinking what if my clients or potential customers read some of this? Do I need to learn the art of spin?

What kind of experience have some of you had with this?

Gratuitous shot of Aloe arborescens cause I know how to do that now.
