Getting to the Top of the Search Engine Heap

Many people believe that the top-ranked sites on a search engine get there by paying money to the search engine.

And while that’s true for some search engines, the biggest and the best…Google…doesn’t accept payment for putting you at the top of their index. (You can use pay per click to get listed at the top but that is a clearly marked advertisement. And deserves a whole other page for the topic.)

They have a formula (algorithm) they use which makes sure the sites providing the best keyword-rich content are ranked highest.

For the most part, a site gets listed on the search engines by providing quality content that’s written using keyword phrases that people are searching for when they go online.

Example:

You want to buy real estate in Long Island but you live in California. You go to the internet to look for information about real estate in Long Island. You put these words in the search engine box “real estate Long Island” or “Long Island real estate”. What follows is a list of sites using that keyword phrase.

Some of the sites that come up are realtors in Long Island. Some of them are just “online brochures” that give contact info and that’s it. Some of them will have listings of real estate in Long Island but nothing else.

Then, the best sites will have everything you ever wanted to know about real estate in Long Island. Where the best neighborhoods are located, which schools are the best, the range of prices from highest to lowest, etc.

As people scroll through the different search engine listings for Long Island real estate, and the more frequently they choose the best one that contains lots of content, the higher that listing will rise in the search engines. And all that without paying a dime to a search engine.

So how does this help you make money being online? For your online business to make money, you have to draw your customers to your site using the best keyword phrases people are searching for online. The more that come, the more opportunities you have to make money.

If you already know what kind of online business you want to do, that’s great. All you have to do then is find the right keywords related to your topic that will bring customers and clients.
