I recently had one of my websites ranked number 1 on Google. It stayed there for about 5 days and was for a very popular place that thousands are joining daily. During my 5 days of being on top for a popular keyword that would be serched for, I didn’t have one sign up for that 5 day period. So just how important is that number 1 spot on Google? Google branches off into many countries and your listing might change from country to country. I would have thought to be ranked on Google so high, that my 5 days on top for the folks in the USA, would have joined from my referral link. That didn’t happen and maybe I am still ranked number 1 in other countries.
I do have other pages for similar keyword searches and those pages aren’t boosting my downline either. I’ve not seen a high ranking in MSN or Yahoo, but wonder if more people are doing searches through MSN and Yahoo these days. I tend to use all 3 of the big search engines and just depending on what you’re looking for determines which one I might use. I still like the fact that Google sends its bot out more often than the other search engines and you can usually get a listing from Google in 24 to 48 hours. I guess a lot depends on your website and just how much traffic you’re getting to see just how high you might rank on Google or any other search engine. There is a new company out right now that says they can have you listed at number 1 for 40 of the top search engines. I am currently working with them and trying to see just how high I can get some of my other pages on those search engine rankings. Each search engine is different and learning the differences can determine which search engine might give your website the best listing. Just keep driving traffic to your website, keep fresh content on your website and get all the links you can pointing toward your website. These basics are true for today and will be for tomorrow in getting your listing on the popular search engines like Yahoo, MSN and even Google.
