Explanatory Notes:

• Cuil is a new search engine founded by a couple of ex-Google employees. They claim to have more web pages indexed than any other search engine.
• lyGo is a new visual search engine. It displays a thumbnail image of each web site, 20 per page. It does not report the total number of search results.
• Search.com and ixquick are meta search engines. They pull results from other search engines but rank them according to their own criteria. Also, ixquick rankings seem to fluctuate more than the other search engines. They seem to rotate top listings.
• For some search terms this site had more than one listing in the top 10 sites. It may have had more on the second and third pages, but if I found my site on page one I didn't look any farther.

Do you see why it's silly to concentrate on only one search engine? This site ranks on the first page of 6 of those 13 search engines (twice on one of them), and it ranks on the second page of the others—including twice on Google! Don't you think that will bring a lot more traffic than just focusing on Google can? You bet it does!

Yeah, but...

That was only one search term—and anyone can get lucky once—but this gets even better! Here's more proof that the strategies and techniques in SEO for YOU produce top results...

Note: I also own several other web sites. There were several times where this site wasn't the number one site for a search term, but one of my other sites was. For example, for the previous search term one of my other sites is the top ranked site at Google. So out of 31.5 million sites, mine had 3 of the top 4 positions. I'm not including any of my other site's rankings here because it was a lot of work going to each site and doing all these searches, I didn't want create more work by adding more sites that I own. Besides, there's more than enough proof already.

Speaking of proof, here is even more proof SEO for YOU is based on solid, proven strategies...

Anything to do with money is supposed to be extremely difficult to rank for because of the competition—just look at the sheer numbers—yet my Easy Web Site Money ebook holds the number one spot on 5 search engines!

Out of 172 million search results this site is number one on Google . . . and it's on the first page of search results at 11 of the 13 search engines! Now you can see for yourself how silly it is to concentrate on just one search engine.

The next four search terms are for other products I offer. Wouldn't you like to have your products (or site) listed so high on the search engines?

If you're still a little skeptical, here is overwhelming evidence the strategies and techniques taught in SEO for YOU really are rock solid. Just notice all the page 1 results...

You might be thinking . . . yes, but those are specific search terms.

Of course they are! I optimized pages for those search terms because people search for them—I wanted my site to rank high for those search terms.

That's what optimization is all about—getting good rankings for the search terms that people are actually using that are relevant to your content.

Anyone can optimize a page for search terms that have little competition, but look at how much competition there is for the search terms I listed. There are millions of competing web pages, in many cases, over one hundred million pages! That's REAL SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION at its best!

If I added correctly, here's how the search results stacked up. Remember, I tested 21 search terms.

This site had 224 first page listings. Add in the results where it had more than one listing on the first page and the total is 246 first page listings—and frankly, this site isn't optimized as well as it could be. I rushed to rebuild it when it was hacked last spring, but even so, it was still the number one site 59 times!

I used a wide range of search terms when I checked my site's search engine positioning. That tells you four very important things:

• I didn't just cherry-pick one or two search terms.
• If you know what you're doing your site can rank well for lots of search terms.
• If you know what you're doing your site can rank well at a lot of different search engines.
• Search engine optimization isn't just luck, there are real strategies and real techniques that really do work.

Is it time you got serious about your website optimization?
