Not on page one ofrepparttar 134613 majors yet?

Elsewhere, I've written about getting on page one ofrepparttar 134614 major search engines with an article here: http://online-wealth.com/yahoosuccess.htm andrepparttar 134615 relative ease of actually developing a website to do just that here: http://online-wealth.com/articles/getting_on_page_one.htm .

Ifrepparttar 134616 process is so easy then, you may ask, why are there so many services touting their ability to "guarantee a top 10 placement" for your website?

The easy answer, of course, is that most people do not know how to go about designing a website that SEs drool over, and have even less knowledge aboutrepparttar 134617 HTML coding required to displayrepparttar 134618 website onrepparttar 134619 web. For a relatively easy approach to site building for yourself - and a fun one at that - go to this link: http://online-wealth.com/buildasite/ where you'll getrepparttar 134620 help you need...and then some!

Of course, there are many services that will dorepparttar 134621 job for you, and obviously, many of them do a good job. But again, if you're gonna dorepparttar 134622 job yourself, you have a lot to think about...

First of all, however, just what do SEs drool about? Well,repparttar 134623 best phrase I can think of is "a website with themed relevance".

Meaning? Well, suppose you're an expert onrepparttar 134624 sport of baseball, and you want to build a website that ranks inrepparttar 134625 top ten SEs. Most of all, you want to have a site devoted to baseball rules and terminology - a narrow-focus topic, but still having broad appeal and relevance to all baseball players and fans (your target audience, naturally).

Well...a couple of days ago (it's June 18, 2001 today!) a quick search on a few ofrepparttar 134626 majors, forrepparttar 134627 search term 'baseball rules and terminology'(the 'and' inrepparttar 134628 phrase isn't required, actually), drew quite a mixed bag, thus :

Altavista: 17,115,664 Google: 8720 Excite: 1,621,610 Lycos: 5728 Northern Light: 6086

Now they wererepparttar 134629 results when I enteredrepparttar 134630 above search phrase *without* quotes. Whenrepparttar 134631 phrase is entered *with* quotes,repparttar 134632 results are markedly different, thus:

Altavista: Zip Google: 2 Excite: Nada Lycos: 1 Northern Light: 4

*By placingrepparttar 134633 quotes aroundrepparttar 134634 phrase, I forcedrepparttar 134635 SEs to findrepparttar 134636 exact phrase somewhere in their databases.* However, not *one* ofrepparttar 134637 SEs returnedrepparttar 134638 exact phrase, which means it may not even exist anywhere onrepparttar 134639 web.

Furthermore, when I enterrepparttar 134640 same search phrase in one ofrepparttar 134641 meta-search engine (a fancy term that means it searchesrepparttar 134642 search engines), I getrepparttar 134643 following:

Ixquick.com - Without quotes: 20,346. With quotes: 1.

And, just so that you know I haven't ignoredrepparttar 134644 one and only:

Yahoo.com - Without quotes: 2230. With quotes: 1

So...all of *that* means you have a golden opportunity to be number one inrepparttar 134645 majors, with your baseball rules and terminology site.

Why? The first set of results ranged from many thousands to multi-millions, so how can that be beaten, you say? No problem - those first set of results covered *any* occurrence of 'baseball', 'rules' and 'terminology', so there were even sites for cricket, public administration, medicine, religion and goodness knows what all onrepparttar 134646 results page I received!

Where Exactly Is This Business Coming From?

Have you ever tried to complete an online order form only to find there just aren't enough boxes for your address. Or that there are too many andrepparttar form will not submit until all boxes are completed? Have you ever filled them with gibberish? Ever received one filled with gibberish? This got me thinking as to how inconsiderate we all can be when requesting details like addresses. Street, Town, State, Zip code. Quite simple you may think, but not everyone lives in a state or even knows what a State is, and did you remember repparttar 134611 Country? We need to be far more considerate when designing web sites. The Internet transcends International boundaries but many business seem to forget this and design sites for their own back yard. Recently we received an e-mail to request a brochure it was to be sent to PROSPECT, PA 16052 now we all know where that is, right? Wellrepparttar 134612 sender presumed so. Obviously Prospect isrepparttar 134613 town. PA? Errr OK it must be some sort of abbreviation PA? PA? PA? Forget it, I don't know! Then we have some digits, obviously a Zip code and then a country? NO, no country given. Do I know what country this PA place is in? Well yes I do, but you seerepparttar 134614 problems some people may have. I also recently wanted to purchase some compression software Anyway I foundrepparttar 134615 software I wanted andrepparttar 134616 price was something like $30. Fine, I was happy - let me spend. But hang on $30 is that USD or Australian dollars, and for that matter how many other countries use dollars? I had a good look aroundrepparttar 134617 site and eventually found the
