Billions of websites and trillions of clicks and still everyone wants to be
on the top of Google. Getting to the Top with Google comes with very
clear choices, because you can not be on the top all the time.
on the top of Google. Getting to the Top with Google comes with very
clear choices, because you can not be on the top all the time.
First let’s simplify the internet in four basic elements
1 - Network of computers
The network of computers worldwide enables the internet to exist.
2 - Websites
Websites provide information to the people using the internet, and give
access to information about other internet users, this includes email an
social networks.
access to information about other internet users, this includes email an
social networks.
3 - Internet users
Without the internet users, there would not be a need of any internet.
4 - Search Engines
Search engines bring the end user and the information presented on
any website together.
any website together.
Search engines are the key to unlock any information on the internet.
Information presented and made available should be search engine
friendly in order to enable search engines to use the information
effectively. When we keep the lock on the information (bad writing,
not optimizing, non SEO), we keep the door closed for the search
engines. If we do unlock, then we call this Search Engine
Optimization or for short SEO.

Web Design
When a website is designed it should be designed in such way
that search engines are able to access all the information on the
website. SEO is a very important part of web design.

When a website is not designed with SEO in mind the search
engines like Google and Bing and the thousand others will not be
able to unlock all the information presented. The better the
website is designed the better the search engine can access
and the better it will rate it in its rankings.

Website Ranking
Everyone wants to be on top. But on top of what? You want
to be on top for the core keywords related to your product,
business or service.

A plumber in New York City does not have to rank high in
search results for accountants in New York City. Neither
does he want to rank high for plumbers in Tampa Florida.

Keyword Research
Keyword research is hard work. The more time you spend
to define the keywords that fit to your business or product
and relate to your website, the better your website will rank.

Registering Website with a Search Directory
As important as the steps are submitting your url to all thesearch engines is
a long process. The more places your URL is found
then the higher the rank. Most people
think of only a few search engines such as Google,
Yahoo and Bing. In the world there
happens to be thousands such as Ask Jeeves, Dog pile,
Amazon, Answers and Info and more.
Yahoo is the mother of all search sites, and by far the most
popular. It is easy to use, and lists sites of high quality. If you
are searching for a broad topic and you want a few good results,
Yahoo! is the place to go.
Here is a list of a few but I assure you there are many more.

Click on one or more of the names and go to the website and after
visiting a few you will see that they are basically all the same style and
format.
Yes a small very small list and registering and submitting your domain
to each and all of these is how to do it. Some charge and some do
not. Time is one of the biggest problems. I charge to submit them
to the directories and it is based at pennies vs the cost of your time.
Reciprocal means you must link them back to you. This also helps
in the ranking but it is just another time consuming step.
I use a team of people that sit and take care of the process the slow
manual way.
Thank you
