Why does my website need to be on the first page of Google?

If your website isn't on the first page of Google it is virtually invisible. Only 10% of searchers bother to search beyond the first page of search results. If your site is not on the first few pages, it is unlikely that your web site will ever be seen - except by you and your friends!

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) experts know many of the factors that Google weighs to determine which websites will rank on the first page of search results, but no one knows exactly how much weight Google attaches to each factor. Even the experts get it wrong sometimes, spending vast amounts of money on SEO can be a waste. No one can guarantee you the number 1 spot in Google or any other search engine, and if they do, it will only be for keywords that hardly anyone searches for.

Can you really get your site listed on the first page of Google?

Yes, you can get onto the first page of Google - if you follow basic search engine optimization principles and are prepared to work hard. Getting listed on the first page of Google depends on a number of factors:

* Identifying profitable keywords
* How much competition there is for your chosen keyword
* The number of pages your website has
* How much keyword rich content you have
* How well you use keywords on your site
* Your site's domain name
* How may incoming links you have

Amongst others...

What you need to do to get on the first page of Google and make more sales

Make sure your website is the best for the services and products you offer. If your site has long blocks of unbroken text, is cluttered, difficult to navigate, unattractive or doesn't have what people are searching for, then even if your site gets to the top of search engine rankings, the increased traffic won't be much good to you.

Add regular features, articles and special offers, give your visitors good reason to return to your site. Note what your competitors are doing and keep abreast of new trends. Research, update and constantly improve. Make sure you have an opt in box and give your visitors a good reason to give you their email address so that you can keep in touch and bring them back to your site.

Identify the best keywords for your website. Give the search engines good reasons to include your site when they are listing relevant search results. Help your website to be found by including the words people are using to search in your text.

Apply standard website optimization techniques to your website: keyword density, keywords in page titles, descriptions, headings, sub headings, anchor text, alt image tags...

Sprinkle your keywords throughout your website and make sure you use your keywords in context. Mix up your keyword phrases, and make sure your text doesn't sound stilted or un-natural. The last thing you want to do is get on the first page of Google but lose customers.

Build lots of one way links to your website. Each links counts as a vote in your favour and is a key factor in search engine optimisation.
While SEO is important and worth paying for if you can afford it, there are many things you can do to optimize your website if you can't afford to pay an expert. Just remember that optimizing your site takes time and you are unlikely to see immediate results unless you have identified a keyword that has little effective competition.

And the bonus is that even if your site never gets to be on the first page of Google, following these steps will benefit both your website and your business.

    This is not entirely true. You could have a website with many backlinks to it from other sources and a lot of people will still come to it from those sources.

        The % of traffic that you get, depending upon your positions in Google page 1 are not fixed.

        I have lots of Google 1st page experiences, in different niches. I find that it is not just about the position you have, but it also about what title and description your page has.

        If the title catches the trend inside the keyword that you have page 1 in Google, this gives you chances for extra traffic.

        For example, let's say you typed into Google 'make money' and see 2 pages:

        position 1

        title: It is tough to make money today!!!

        position 2

        title: How you can make money overnight

        Even though the page on position 1 should be getting more traffic, still I assume position 2 will get more clicks - they are fitting better to what is inside 'make money' search query.

    First page ranking on any search engine, is driven by back links, but that is only if it is supported by original content . Rewrites, rephrases etc do not work.

    We seem to forget it is called The Information Super Highway.

    Original content will always rank highly, a few blog type back links, and you have it made.

    I held the #1 position for 18 months 3 years back, without meta tags etc. just original content.

    plr text does not help your cause.

    a good movie with the right title .... Magic

    Google loves, movies, sound and blogs with link backs and original info you have a winner.

      Good blog posts (not videos) from backlinks from inside the posts also do well.

      I cannot boast 18 month, but getting page 1 Google in car loan niche within less than a month is also not bad.

      Though the strategy is the same, backlinks from quality content pages.
