How to get a top 10 search engine ranking

The common way to get a top 10 ranking is to go to the search engine and to study the top 10 ranked pages for your keyword.

Then you must apply all findings to your Web site and hope that you've identified and applied all things that influence the ranking.

It usually works like this:

  1. You go to the search engine where you want to get a top 10 ranking, for example http://www.AltaVista.com.

  2. You enter the keyword for which you want to get the top 10 ranking, for example "leather shoes", and click the Search button.

  3. AltaVista displays ten Web pages on the first result page. (By the way, only very few users look beyond the first result page, says usability expert Jakob Nielsen.)

  4. You start to study the top 10 ranked Web pages and try to find out what they have in common.

In our example, eight of ten Web pages use the search term "leather shoes" in the document title. Two pages don't. So it could be a good idea to add the search term "leather shoes" to the document title of our Web page.

But why did the other two Web pages get a top 10 ranking? Probably there are other important factors that influence the top 10 ranking.

Maybe they mentioned "leather shoes" in prominent places on their Web page. Or they have a link from a big directory site. Or they used the search term "leather shoes" in their IMG ALT tags. Or it might be a combination of these factors.

The process looks simple but there are two problems:

  1. You don't know which factors play a role on which search engine.
  2. It's extremely time-consuming.

For example, we at Axandra identified more than 75 factors that can influence the ranking of your Web page.

Of course, it's too time-consuming to check all 75 factors for all top 10 ranked pages. Who has the time to check 750 factors? And what about your other important keywords? And other search engines?

For this reason, we developed a unique software program that is able to automate this process: Internet Business Promoter (IBP), now available in the all-new version 2.0.

It compares your Web page with the top 10 ranked pages for any keyword. Then it creates an easy to understand checklist report that tells you in plain English what you must do to get a similar top ranking.

IBP 2.0 automates the task of checking more than 75 factors on every top 10 ranked page, saving you a lot of time and taking the guesswork out of getting a top ranking. We're proud to say that it's the only software program on the market today that can do that.

Best of all, you don't have to learn anything. IBP 2.0 is exceptionally easy to use. We've put great thought into the user interface so you don't have to.

Getting the checklist report for your keywords is as easy as 1-2-3:

  1. Download and install the freeware Lite edition of Internet Business Promoter (IBP), version 2.0. It runs on Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP.

  2. Start IBP, click the "Top 10 Ranking Optimizer" button, enter the URL of your Web site, the keyword and select one of 250 search engines.

  3. Click the "Analyze" button and you're done.

IBP will create a checklist report that will tell you in plain English what you have to do to get a top 10 ranking for your keyword on the selected search engine.

It's easy and it works. So far, IBP 2.0 has received many awards:

  • rated 5 out of 5 by BrotherSoft.com
  • rated 5 out of 5 by FileHungry.com
  • rated 5 out of 5 by FileTransit.com
  • rated 5 out of 5 by SharewareJunkies.com
  • rated 5 out of 5 by SofoTex.com
  • rated 5 out of 5 by TopShareware.com
  • rated 5 out of 5 by Tucows.com
  • rated 5 out of 5 by VersionTracker.com
  • rated 5 out of 5 by WebAttack.com

SharewareJunkies.com writes about IBP 2.0:

"Let's get another thing straight. Getting a top ten ranking in any search engine is not something any software can do for you at the push of a button. What good software can do is to analyze your website and compare it to the other websites that are ranked high and give you suggestions about how to get in the top ranking.

IBP does this very well. The free download edition will give you a real feel for how it does this. As a matter of fact you are going to be really impressed with the information that IBP gives you with its analysis."

Download the freeware Lite edition and find out how your Web pages compare with the top 10 ranked pages.
