Top Search Engine Rankings

Wanted to share with you some insights that I got from something I just read that makes sense. It's about the ongoing quest for top search engine rankings.

Everybody's aim seems to be to win those top positions in natural search results. Many are willing to pay big bucks to SEO companies to get them. Many continually tweek their sites to get better performance with SEO. Some use black hat techniques that eventually will get them banned!

However, I know someone who has top rankings (#1 spot) of natural search results for a market with highly competitive keywords. Do you know how many visitors he gets from that position? On average, he only gets 300 visitors per month!

Seems to me that all the hoopla about SEO and top positions in search engines is way overrated!

What does work online when it comes to marketing your website is to combine many different marketing techniques such as article submissions, blogging, adding continual fresh content to your site, syndication, forum postings, ezine advertising, belonging to similar communities, joint ventures, building reciprocal and one-way incoming links, and such.

I would rather invest in Google Adwords, than to pay SEO companies to mess around with my site.

Make your site user friendly and worthy of being bookmarked and you will win out over those you feel you are competing against that have the top search engine rankings!

It will take time... don't be in a rush... and keep your visitors uppermost in your mind when you work on your website!

To Your Success!
