Getting to the top 10 search engine results

Wanting to rank in the top 10 search engine results for a given keyword? Search engine results pages (SERPs) are the results that come back once you have typed in a search term in one of the search engines. Obtaining a top ranking for these results has been one of the most sought after gems of any internet marketer dating back to the late 1990’s. It’s not impossible, but we know how to do it using 100% white hat methods.

Exposure on the search engines has been a difficult task and some of the most successful websites on the search engine results pages have been around for years. Many of them are considered authority websites and those are the ones you’ll want to submit to in order to obtaining a worthy page rank for your own website.

You’ll want to first get your website created (first, choose a reliable cPanel web hosting company) and make sure that the website is SEO optimized. By optimizing your website you’ll be sure that search engines can crawl your website and find all of the search engine food they’re looking for (unique content that its users are wanting). After you have setup your website, consider purchasing an SEO report that will get you a clear, concise list of what you need to improve upon for your website in order to get a top website rank on the search engine results.

After you have purchased your SEO report and put the necessary changes into place on your website, you’ll want to create articles (unique…I cannot stress this enough) and submit them to various article directories with a link back to your website. It doesn’t matter which page, unless you’re specifically trying to rank a certain page on your website. If you have a page about “electronic widgets” that you want to get ranked, create an article about that keyword and link back to your website page that has that information from the keyword.

There are various other companies you can hire or services you can subscribe to that will get you beyond the first steps in obtaining a higher search engine results ranking, but you’ll want to tread carefully. Most of these companies charge by the hour and the costs will quickly add up. One website, SEOMoz, has an impressive suite of tools you can subscribe to that many of the professional internet marketers use. These tools will prove themselves to be invaluable to you as you break past the first steps and want to better your website’s presence in the search engine results.

Using the recommended services above are really all you need. All the other tools you’ll need for things like keyword research are freely available online, such as the Google Keywords Tool. You should try not to fall for all of the scams out there online that promise a top 10 search engine results ranking as nothing can promise this. Many of those are black hat SEO companies or individuals that may be able to get you this ranking for a few days and take your money, but after a few days those rankings will drop from the search engine results pages once the search engine realizes what was done.
