other high quality websites are linking to your site, your website must have relevance<br />

<strong>and</strong> importance. This is the whole idea behind creating internet traffic to your website<br />

with your keyword focus. This is why most of the SEO professionals must place a large<br />

amount of emphasis on “link-building.” Having your company website extremely visible<br />

to the public, reviewed <strong>and</strong> talked about is exactly what every company needs <strong>and</strong> is<br />

seeking to increase clientele, sales <strong>and</strong> ultimately profit.<br />

The following is an example of Google’s perception <strong>and</strong> logical usage of ranking with<br />

unknown business colleague, the people at the gathering may<br />

customers so they buy from you. Since Google is the dominant search engine<br />

<strong>and</strong> is used by almost everyone to search, it is important to have your company positioned<br />

at the top of Google search results when someone searches for your product or<br />

service. The top positions (first page) in Google are ABSOLUTELY where you want to<br />

be. (Your competitors want these positions also <strong>and</strong> for good reason). It would be even<br />

better to have many positions on that first page, pushing your competitors lower. There<br />
