Patience is a virtue, Knowledge is
Power
When it comes to getting positioning, people are often very impatient.
Who can blame them? Unfortunately, positioning is a process that
requires a great deal of patience. When you first get your site
listed, don't be alarmed if your site is low in the ranks. If you
have been reading these articles in order, by now you certainly
know that positioning is quite a bit more than making an optimized
page. As you go to the engines and check your ranking, don't be
discouraged at first. Keep promoting your site and over time, if
you do everything right, you will see it steadily climb in the ranks.
Spin Control
There are many search engine optimization (SEO)
and positioning firms out there. Most of them make glorious promises
of top rankings in short periods. Some are honest companies, but
the majority are not. Would you like a #1 position with any keyword
on Google? No problem, purchase pay per click rankings from their
Adwords program. The same goes for many engines. Technically, these
are top positions, but the catch is the cost6 involved. A true #1
position is one that appears naturally without you having to pay
for the spot. Many of these companies that promise these spots are
merely purchasing keyword positions and charging you for it, plus
a hefty profit. Alternatively, companies that get high rankings
on naturally positioned sites typically convice you to use obscure
keywords that you can get great positiong with yourself by reading
these articles. These articles give you more knowledge than many
of the SEO firms have.
