Do all of that, and you have a fighting chance.

If you can differentiate your product as unique, develop a website that targets only those people who would be interested in that product, and then construct pages that clearly demonstrate to SEs quality of content, I can assure you that your page(s) will rank very high.

You won't be on page one or two for every search for a product that is similar to yours. But, if your targeted prospect uses your specific keywords for your niche product, your chances of being on page one or two are very, very good.

And, it doesn't matter whether there are nine hundred or nine million pages out there, with similar products!

Now comes really hard part...

Next time you punch in any set of search words or phrases and then follow links to sites on page one of your favorite SE, critically assess each page you view.

Do you "buy" from first page you view? I doubt it - that would be very rare. Especially if you had my recent experience - I clicked on number one and got back a 404 Page Not Found! Sheesh, can you believe that (a problem with SE's housekeeping, perhaps)?

Anyways, I persevered and finally got to what I wanted waaaay down in list. Maybe my search term should have been more specific? Whatever...I had to look through a few sites before I got to one that was talking to *me*.

That's crucial.

When you walk into a store, you expect sales help to talk to you, and to answer your needs and wants. You would expect no less from any website that is trying to sell you its particular product or service.

In fact, you'd probably want more! And that's what you've got to deliver to your own prospects.

If you're good with words, you can construct your own sales copy. In fact, you should construct your sales letter before doing anything about a website page.

If not, hire a professional to do it for you. When you're satisfied with that, only then should you construct your web page(s).

If you do that, you have half a chance of actually getting sale when your prospect finds your link on page one or two!

Now...if you don't have a niche product or service, then you'd better get one from some-one else or develop one yourself.

But, just remember five points above when you've got your niche product and your sales copy ready.

If you are looking for a software program that can find and report your current positioning, Reporter alone is worth its weight in gold. Knowing your rankings is crucial to success of your online business.

The reporter checks your site's positions in major search engines. You can find out in minutes, rather than hours, how you rank on every keyword or phrase that is important to you, on all major engines. Nine different management reports provide more valuable information than any other product.

Another feature that is worth $149.00 is Analyzer. The Traffic Analyzer reports not only your traffic to each page, but also what keywords were actually used to find you! It tracks your visitors and where they came from automatically without need to download server log files or buy extra software. The Traffic Analyzer answers questions like: "What keywords are people searching for to find my site?" or "Which search engines send me most traffic?" It will let you know what pages get most traffic (and ones that don't) so you can go back and work on your low traffic pages.

The Reporter, Submitter and Traffic Analyzer are straightforward and very easy to use. They are all very helpful tools and are needed to monitor your online business. You would pay much more than $149.00 to purchase other software to do same thing.

Conclusion

If you do not have time or inclination to learn about search engine positioning and optimization you should hire someone to do it for you. However, I would still recommend purchasing WebPosition Gold as a monitor for your online business. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, I suggest that you take a course in search engine positioning and read as many articles and newsletters as you can before attempting to submit your Web pages using WebPosition Gold.

In a nutshell, WebPosition Gold is like a fine target rifle, in hands of an expert it can hit bull's-eye every time, but if you don't know what you're doing, you're apt to fail.
