I have finally decided to finish depaulus.com, I have started on this site numerous times, but usually find myself working on one of my many other sites or someone elses.
Why this site? well, I have been asked so many times by lots of people “How do you get your web sites so high on the search engines?”..
I would like to say that I had a secret formula, and even more, i wish I did because I would be rich.. but that is not the case, I do not have a secret formula.
However I do have over 30 websites all ranking high (first 3 pages of Google)this itself is a huge achievement.
Most of you will know that making a website is a lot easier than actually marketing your website, I always compare it with having a wonderfull restaurant in the woods, no matter how nice it is, if people don’t know it’s there, you are not going to get any customers, the same goes for a web site, there are millions of websites out there!, so how do you manage to get your web site in the top rankings of the mayor search engines (Google, Yahoo, Live )?
Here is a true and genuine example:
search in the 3 mentioned search enginges for a B&B in the Dordogne…
Search query: B&B Dordogne
Google: Results of about 555,000 for B&B Dordogne<. (0.19 seconds)
** On the pages 1-3 there are 11 sites that mention “Ferme de Tayac” 8 of those sites are mine, and 3 of the sites are 2nd party sites.
Yahoo: 350,000 for B & B Dordogne (About) - 0.02 sec
** On the pages 1-3 , 11 sites are mine.
Live: 128,000 results.
** 1st page, 6 out of 10 sites are mine…
** On the pages 1-3 , 9 sites are mine.
