Google Does Not Love You!
Well, a couple of years ago it was easier to rank in Yahoo and MSN than it was in Google. Lately, Yahoo has been going through some over hauls of their engine…results are not always constant or reliable.
MSN, now MS “Live Search” and Yahoo still trail by a wide margin 2/1 or 3/1 who ever you want to believe of total search volume than Google.
Pretty much, fundamental SEO will work for all three but it’s too much for me to keep up on. If you can find a way to consistently rank for these two engines then go for it. A great place to start is to check out http://www.searchenginewatch.com, run by a guy named Danny Sullivan. Good guy, a lot of stuff there…if there is any one spot on the net that is a resource for all things search engines, this is it.
What I think is a better use of time than trying to rank on struggling engines like MSN or Yahoo, is to download Jack Humphrey’s Web 2.0 Black Book. Google it. It’s the best introduction to getting targeted traffic, regardless of where it comes from. We are too often brain washed that the majority of targeted, paying customers come from Google. Not. Don’t rely on Google, specifically your particular Google rankings, as the sole source of online leads and hopefully revenue.
****** Google does not love you! ******
Google only loves those who type in their search boxes and those who pay them money. Your rankings can last forever or drop tomorrow. Their is no guarantee. That’s why you need a broad base of linking, PPC, link bait, etc., if you are to have “auto-matic’ customers coming in from the net.
