Websites are competing for the number one spot in search engines and some of them don’t even know why. The internet is very powerful and shopping is now done online.

Being on the first place of search engines will dramatically increase the inbound traffic to your website and more opportunity increase sales. Searchers are often time lazy and would click for the first result thinking that it will be the best result from there searches – and statistics can prove it

The first spot gets more than 40 percent of the total searches, second get 12 percent, the third get 8, the fourth gets 7, and the fifth get 6 while the sixth gets 5 and the seventh gets only four percent. The rest of the parts are divided to the rest of results which barely searchable at all. If you can manage to be on the first spot then you are get more opportunity for sales, return on income and a continuous stream of income.

Getting on the top not only requires patience time and money but more importantly it requires knowledge and effective efforts on search engine optimization and keyword research. Conducting everything effectively is the key to success. The results of stepping into the game blind folded are inevitable and you’ve probably lost your sanity if you do so. Like any other market establishing an online business requires feasibility research.

Having a well-developed website won’t get you anywhere. You have to lay out the foundation first, which in this case are the keywords. Targeted keywords are what you want to tackle but you are far from over yet – In order for the keywords to become sales you have to target keywords that bring traffic, are relevant to you, have minimal competition and potential for sales. After laying out the foundation you must build the walls now. Advance Organic Search Engine Optimization will bring your keywords into reality. By utilizing high page rank sites to create one way links you are promoting site.

SEO can be compared to a poll, the more votes you have the more relevant search engines will perceive your website thus improving your search engine positioning in that particular keyword. The only difference is that in the SEO poll page rank carries a value (can be compared to a voters influence). Every website has its current page rank; the higher it is the more authority they have.

If you have managed to be on the first spot then it is a reason to celebrate, but not a reason to be cocky and to be easy. Every day, a competition is born and they are spying on you. Be a mile ahead by continuing your efforts throughout your business.
