For those people using websites to promote home-based businesses, it can be stressful constantly trying to determine "what search engines want" and agonizing over every downward fluctuation in rankings that their website may experience.

Looking forward in time, I think we can expect that rankings will fluctuate frequently and will not be at all consistent from one search engine to another. It will be quite common that for a particular search term a website might suffer a drop in position ranking for search engine "A" and an increase position ranking for search engine "B" at essentially same point in time.

Rather than stressing out over every position ranking "wiggle", a better approach might be to just focus on "what do visitors to my site want?". The search engines are striving to give their users a quality (relevant) search experience and if you are focused in giving visitors to your website what they are looking for, these paths will meet somewhere down road.

You can save yourself alot of consternation by focusing upon needs of website visitors you are seeking to attract, rather than chasing frequently changing ranking algorithms of several search engines. Focus on a single target instead of chasing several moving targets at same time.

This article pertains to natural searches only, as paid search engine advertising is a completely different situation.

The key to true wealth is to own business, not work for it. A home based business owner is top dog in their small company. That means any windfalls a new product or service you create or resell belong to you! That also means all overhead and other expenses belong to you too. With power of a home based business comes responsibility too.

This is why you should thoroughly research a home based business opportunity to make sure you have all bases covered and you are approaching working for yourself in a responsible manner.

Below are a couple of home based businesses that are very profitable and hot right now:

Virtual Assistant: A person that hires their time out to busy executives to complete various tasks like appointment setting and other things busy power brokers don't have time to do. Executives like doing this because they can hire a virtual assistant for short-term projects and not have to pay for insurance or any overhead since VA is a private contractor.

Information Sales: This is what I do and I love it. I am an affiliate for several top-selling products that people want and buy everyday. My job is to promote my website and recommend products to my visitors. With a little training and guidance from people I have met online, this kind of home base business is a snap and can be very profitable.
