What It Really Means to Get Top "Ranking" in the Search Results

Traffic. And lots of it! It's the dream of every online entrepreneur. After all, without a steady stream of visitors and potential customers to your website, how will you achieve online success? Recent data from Internet World Stats reveals there are 1.26 BILLION Web users worldwide, with ComScore estimating that more than 10 BILLION searches are conducted each month across the search engines in the US alone. That's a heck of a lot of searching! Statistics also tell us that most web surfers never look beyond the first two pages of the search results. In fact, search marketing firm iProspect tells us more than 40% of web surfers stop reading after the first 10 results — and only 8% will bother searching past the top 30 results! With this in mind, it's vitally important that your website consistently ranks well in the search results. You need to make sure it appears in the top 20 search results for your keywords — preferably in the top 10 — if you want to get it in front of a massive online audience.
