High Google Rankings: Frequency vs. Positioning
by: Ulli G. Niemann
There's an assumption that the higher a ranking or positioning you have
with major search engines; the more people will beat a path to your web
doorstep. But based on my experience, that's simply not true! There's
another factor that is just as important and may actually drive more traffic
to your site.
This big secret is frequency: The number of times your name appears when
someone enters a key word in a search engine. I believe that the more times
you appear in a search, the greater the likelihood of someone actually
clicking through to your site.
How do you get frequent listings in search engines? Write quality content
articles.
I’m an investment advisor and a while ago I started a second web site (www.successful-investment.com)
to promote my weekly mutual fund newsletter, capture potential prospect
names and house a library of my published articles.
To get people to the site, I naturally wanted to move up in the search
engine food chain. I did the usual meta tag things, but that didn't cause my
rise in the rankings. What did cause it surprised me.
One of my first articles (“Do lifestyle funds provide greater security?”)
was submitted to some 30 article banks and web sites. Many of them reprinted
it, which increased the number of appearances of my name associated with the
topic. Since many of these sites were already ranked high on the search
engines, I rode on their success.
Searching Google for "Lifestyle funds" produces over 3 million results.
On the first page of results my article is listed four times, on the second
page three times and on page three it's listed three times, and so on. If
you were searching this term, with that much presence you would not likely
overlook me.
In addition to generating hits on my web site from potential clients, my
frequent listing in search engines yielded another benefit: I was invited to
CNNfn's Hollywood studio to discuss my article “How to evaluate load vs. no
load mutual funds.” They found me by searching Google for "load vs. no
load." That produced almost 5 million results and on the first page my
article appears three times, on the second three times and on the third
three time as well—and some included my company listing. I was an authority!
In the past six months I have written and published 17 articles with the
key search terms being part of the title. I pretty much get similar results
with all of them. Why? I believe quality content is a key.
My core business is "personal investment management." If you search that
on Google you will get about 11 million results. I currently rank number 8.
And that's among the ‘who’s who’ in investment management, companies that
invest big bucks to manipulate getting high rankings on search engines.
Can I improve on that? Probably not by trying to manipulate positioning,
but definitely with frequency. And that comes from writing articles.
Now, maybe you like this idea but think you can't write quality articles.
I'm not a writer, but my articles get picked up by e-zines and article banks
all the time. How does that happen? It's actually simpler than you think.
There are two aspects to writing; 1. the actual content and 2. the
writing style. If you’ve been in business for any length of time you have a
wealth of information that you take for granted but others would love to
know about. You should be able to write a 300 to 800 word article about your
product or service area. Don’t worry about the style; just write quality
content that will be helpful to your potential customers.
Although my writing skills are pretty sharp because I do a lot of
writing, I would not consider them to be on the same level as a professional
writer. So I have a second secret to success.
One of my clients is an award winning Hollywood writer and he “enhances”
my articles. It’s usually not a lot of work, but at times I need a better
transition from point A to point B. Since the content is clear and basically
organized, he doesn't have to spend any time researching or "doing the heavy
lifting." He can devote his attention to enhancing the quality of the
presentation, and that doesn't take long or cost much.
[If you need help with writing you may contact Laren Bright (punster@earthlink.net)
and tell him I sent you.]
I think you will find that writing articles becomes a lot easier once you
have that kind of assistance. It certainly became stress-free for me when I
didn't have to worry about form and could concentrate on my long suit:
content.
It’s hard to beat the results that my articles have produced for me in
terms of exposure, Google rankings and new clients. Given these facts I
propose that frequency beats positioning anytime. Try it and see if it
boosts your rankings and your business.
