Rank No.1 on Google

Effective and Affordable Search Engine Optimization - SEO
Want to show up No. 1 on GOOGLE?

IT IS TOTALLY POSSIBLE, but before you test out the examples below I want to tell you the hard facts. You can pay thousands of dollars to companies all over the internet to be positioned in the search engines. Some of these companies are truly doing the real work it takes to get your website ranked well. But for every company doing the real work, there are at least fifty more trying to make a quick buck by tweaking your <meta> tags, selling you proprietary software, claiming a 'special' relationship with Google, or just plain and simple, scamming you.

HOW DO I KNOW THIS? Because I've tried it all. Because I've been building websites for over ten years. Because I've had to market my own business and the businesses of my clients, none of whom have had big bucks to waste on wishful thinking. Most importantly I've developed methods that actually work.

WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU CAN GET ME RANKED ON GOOGLE, YAHOO AND OTHER SEARCH ENGINES?

  • Read Google's warnings about scams, and about what is and is not possible
  • Try the searches in the examples below
  • Read my guarantee
  • Sign up to buy the manual

GOOGLE'S WARNINGS: Go to this link <http://www.google.com/webmasters/seo.html> and read all the warnings very carefully. Their words can tell you what to beware of far better than anything I can tell you. Search engines are designed TO DELIVER WHAT IS MOST RELEVANT to a person's search. If it is possible to TRICK the search engines, then the companies delivering the search services are FAILING THEIR CUSTOMERS. Therefore, the Search Engine companies work very hard to make it difficult to scam the process and they mark paid links very clearly.

TRY THE EXAMPLES BELOW: There is nothing mysterious about getting high rankings in the search engines for relevant content. My forthcoming book will explain EVERYTHING about how you can achieve this for yourself. Success must be built around key words or key word phrases. The sites listed below have been optimized for success under numerous key words. Since the internet is a moving playing field, I'm taking a risk in having you test these results for yourself. However, you will find that each example comes up either at No. 1 on Google, or the first relevant listing. At worst, the listing comes up on the first page of results. Given the millions of pages on the internet, this finding of the needle in the haystack may seem nothing short of miraculous. It is precisely the seeming impossibility of achieving these results that makes so many people susceptible to being charged thousands of dollars and falling for scams and schemes.

MY GUARANTEE: If you sign up for my book, purchase it when it becomes available, and try the methods I outline then I will guarantee your results. If you do not succeed I will give you FREE OF CHARGE a one hour consultation AND guarantee the results of our consultation. If you do even half the procedure as outlined I will cheerfully refund the price of my book. : )

SIGN UP TO BUY THE MANUAL: The book includes everything you need to understand how to make your page show up at the top of the listings on Google, Yahoo, and many other search engines. There are no hidden tricks, nothing to join, no software, no proprietary methods, no money to spend again ever. Plus, the book contains invaluable information on marketing, understanding your customers, determining what it is you are actually selling, how to put forth your message, how to use the internet to conduct cost effective market research, and much more. The book will be available for download off the internet in January 2006. Send me an email with <MARKETING BOOK> in the subject line and you will be notified as soon as the book is available, plus receive a discounted rate on the purchase.

Finally, some years ago I realized that by working with clients one on one I was only able to help a limited number of people. My time is now divided roughly into five parts:

  1. The non-profit Florida's Eden Plan. If you are interested in the potential of collective marketing to improve quality of life for an entire region, visit our site.
  2. Marketing consultation, seminars, and my forthcoming book.
  3. Actively involved artist, both in the fields of professional design and in the creation of my own fine art.
  4. Community volunteer: on the board of Morning Meadow Preschool, numerous projects
  5. Family time: I am frequently asked if we home school our children: "yes, every day when they get home." Once our three kids get home from school most of my time is theirs.

There are countless of other examples, but some key words may seem so obscure that you will not be impressed. However somebody on the web is searching for these, and bringing in traffic, visitors, and revenue:

  • "paint out manual" - selling a book online on how to put on such fun events in your area
