Search Results Comparison
for our Sample Website
Let us now take a look at the search engines and see how
our sample website places.[ Click to Search Google ]
NOTICE:
Since we just opened the website September of 2004 and we
know that it will take up to 3 months to be indexed you
wont be able to view our example until early 2005.
The info we provided is good, but the nature of the
internet is slow and internet businesses are built on
patience.
Special Notes:
Remember, search engines are their
own business and you have no voice with them. The do
things that help them make money. They are not there to
serve you, nor do they have to list your website. You are
at their mercy and have to play by their rules. There is
no guarantee you will ever get one hit from a search
engine. But if you follow our tips you can see some
traffic in time.
But first do the math. 250 million
searches daily. 150 million of those are for "Brittney
Spears, Paris Hilton or some other Sex or Porn website
content". That leaves 100 million searches to be
divided between 4 billion pages. If everyone gets a fair
share and that is truly the goal of the search engine
that would be one page hit every 40 days.
That is certainly not enough
traffic to build a business. By tweaking your pages you
can increase that number and take traffic away from other
pages. But even good pages will not get huge volumes of
traffic without outside advertising.
Websites such as CNN.com and Wal-Mart.com
get traffic from existing customers and their extensive
advertising campaigns. The amount of search traffic they
get is negligible, but they are successful businesses in
spite of the lack of search placement. They opt to keep
the sites more commercial than concentrating on their
placement and search ranking.
Other sites such as amazon.com were
built on search engine traffic; however the competition
for traffic was much lower 6 years ago. You could build
page, submit the page and see traffic in 2-3 days. But
those days are over and if you missed the early days of
internet traffic, there is no going back. Companies got
big fast, but those big opportunities are not available
today.
