Getting Ranked!
The fact is there are only 10 spots in Google’s first page and all your competitors want to be there. The more cruel fact is, backed by SEO experts, the ones who have already got into the first page all want to take the top 3 positions. Why? According to Google, 60% to 80% of the first page traffic goes to the top 3 rankings. Top 3 means you are one of the industry leaders, you have a better credibility than your competitors, and you even deserve a better price.
Although our promise is ranking your website to the first page of Google, we don’t stop there. Instead, we’ll keep pushing your rankings to the top 3. Yet, to achieve top 3 ranking and keep you stay there forever, we’ll need your help – from day one.
What we have learned from our customers’ experiences
Our customers, when their websites appeared in the first page of Google, all had a taste of business success such as more leads, more sales and more money to their bottom line. Do you think they would be happily ever after? Of course not.
They’re thirsty for more business success – they want to rank top 3 in Google and stay there forever.
Month after month and year after year, we helped many customers achieve the goal. From the experiences, we know there is an identifiable pattern for those who easily ranked top 3, as well as those who took a long time, regardless the size of the customers.
So what’s difference between the easy cases and hard cases?
On our side, there’s no difference. We did exactly what had to be done. The only difference is on the customer side. It would be an easy case as long as the customer has a SEO friendly web site – simple as that.
What is an SEO friendly website?
First of all, an SEO friendly web site is definitely NOT a
· Flash only website
· image only website
· one page website
· poorly structured website
· hard-to-navigate website
A truly SEO friendly website has the following traits:
· based on a CMS (content management system), such as WordPress and Joomla.
· rich content that is relevant to your business
· easy to navigate
· great site linking structure
Note: You don’t want to stuff extra keywords in your web pages to make it content rich – keyword density does matter to Google. Write quality copy to communicate with your target customers and, as long as you don’t turn text into image or Flash, Google will love you – remember Google bots (spiders) can only read text.
Hosting plays an important roll
Folks, hosting is darn cheap. Get a really good one.
Google’s philosophy is simple – you have gotta be serious with your business. Just think about the following two scenarios:
1. A business website shares with thousands of other sites on one single IP address on a slow-response server;
2. A business website is hosted with a dedicated IP address on a fast-response server
Which do you think Google would give more credits to when weighing your website’s ranking?
The answer cannot be more obvious. The good news is that getting a fast-response server with a dedicated IP address won’t cost you more than $100 annually.
The results? Visitors to your site will have a much better user experience and Google rewards you for that.
If your hosting is up for renewal, we’d suggest you go with the hosting service below.
· Loud Rumor Hosting (probably the best hosting you'll find with 24/7 sales/support)
Make sure you sign up for Business Hosting with dedicated IP address.
What’s next?
Having a website with a sound structure and a top-notch hosting will help us rank your website to the top of Google faster and your rankings will be easily stabilized once you get there. While we work our butt off to get you there, you need to focus on the end result – converting traffic to leads or sales.
