Here is a secret I uncovered. Getting to the top of Google’s Search Results is not nearly so difficult as it looks.

Why even think about the top of those results? Free web traffic gold! Web researchers have discovered that 90% of all web traffic goes to an internet page displayed on the first page of a search engine’s Search Results. Another 9% click on a web page on the second page of Search Results—but no farther.

Only 1% of all web searchers go beyond the first two pages of a search engine’s search results.

1%!

Here’s the truly remarkable thing. Only about 1% of all web pages get onto the first or second page of Search Results , but they get nearly 99% of all the world’s net clicks to their web pages!

Even though it is highly unlikely to get every one of your site’s pages onto the first page of a major search engine’s Search Results, if you follow two easy rules it’s often easy to get several of them there.

Think about it this way: somebody will always be at the very top. Are you not at least as deserving? So, what are you waiting for?

Take the time to design your site’s page so it can get to the top of Google. The key is to design it around a keyword that, with some good website promotion, will rocket it past the competition.

All that you need to do is to know the secret formula.

Getting to the top of Google starts before the first word is written. This is because every page (whether you know it or not) is dependent upon keyword selection. Use the best keyword and you will get good traffic and rise quickly in the Search Results. Pick a poor keyword and you may not get much traffic or face so much competition you will never get ranked.

Now, or course, your competitors doubtlessly think their keywords are the best—-or they would not use them. However, if you asked them how they could tell a great keyword from a poor one, they would have no good response because their keyword decision-making process was totally subjective.

In sharp relief to that fanciful “build it and they will come” approach, if you are serious about succeeding online, your evaluation process needs to be totally objective. No seat-of-the-pants, no feel-good-about, page building. Nope. Your approach has to be hard-nosed, based solely on objective research.

Fortunately, that evidence is quick and easy to find and, even better, free with keyword analysis tools you can find in a couple of clicks of your mouse..

Here is what to do.

Build your web page around a keyword that has both of these characteristics: global monthly searches of 3,000 or more (the higher the better) and less than 80,000-100,000 competing pages on Google (the fewer the better).

Any keyword having significantly less than 3,000 searches monthly is not going to supply enough daily traffic to worry about so ignore keywords that don’t meet that criteria. 4,000 searches a month is better than 3,000; 10,000 is even better, and the like.

Use free online research tools like the Google AdWords Keyword Tool to find keywords satisfying or surpassing the 3,000 searches/month component. Simply enter a keyword into the tool and Google will display up to 800 related keywords, each showing the estimated monthly searches.

Then, just as importantly, use that keyword in your web page only if it meets the second criteria: normally fewer than 80,000 -100,000 competing web pages (use your judgment for competition surpassing 100,000) for the identical keyword. Why? Because, believe it or not, with some intelligent link building and site promotion strategies, 80,000-100,000 competing pages are not very many to beat!

How can you easily find the number of competing pages?

Easy as pie.

Go to the Google browser (not Yahoo or Bing) you use each day, put the keyword you found in Google Adwords Keyword Tool between quotation marks, and click. You will immediately see the number of competing pages. Use 100,000 or so as the recommended ceiling but remember that for this element, the less the better.

50,000 beats 80,000; 25,000 is often easy to get to the top in a few weeks.

Remember, though, the best keyword is the one which meets both criteria, not just one or the other.

Behind each great Internet business are successful online business ideas.

Were you aware that only 1% of all web pages get 99% of the planet’s clicks? Don’t settle for the pathetic 1% of traffic shared with 99% of all sites; instead , learn the way to get to the top of Google and find traffic gold.
