Wit me and I ll show you a

Wit me and I'll show you a thing really neat.

1) Go to Yahoo and google and search: click here 2) Go to Yahoo and search: click here

3) Go to Bing and search: just click here

Notice anything? Go ahead, I'll wait.

Did you look? If you looked, you will notice that Adobe Reader is in the top rated 2. And if not for Bing presenting top ranking to Wikipedia, Adobe would have the top spot for "click here" in all the primary search engines. Go Bing.

Here's the kicker. Adobe Acrobat doesn't use the phrase "click here" on their website. They aren't "optimized" to the phrase click here. They didn't actually try to rank well for the phrase follow this. And yet there they are, pretty much adhered to the top of page one.

So why is Adobe ranked in the top to get a phrase they aren't targeting so they aren't optimized for?

Easy! Flagstone is ranked at the top of search engines for the phrase "click here" because approximately 2, 459, 417 webpages connection to Adobe with the phrase "click right here. " You know... click here to down load Adobe Reader. Because how more can people read your pdf?

Humor me again, this one is all about you. Yes, personally. Let's do a little test.

1) Go to Google and even click the "advanced search" link.

2) Type your best keyword into the "exact wording or phrase" line. Normally the one you really want to rank for.

3) Now click the blue link that will says "Date, usage and more"

4) Look for the line that claims "Where your keywords show up" and select "in links to the page"

5) Click search

The results you see are sites that have incoming links featuring your best keyword. The sites with nearly all incoming links that contain the key word are ranked at the top. Is your site there?

Now let's go back to the click here silliness.

In Google, the number a couple of site is a marketing agency named (ready? ) -- Click Here. That they only have 119 links to their web site. So nope, they don't have a couple of million incoming links either. Feel a lot better? But they are optimized for the phrase Just click here. It's in their title tag, that it is in their meta tags, it's in their information. Heck, it's even their website name. And that's why they're on page one of Search engines. Aggressive on-page optimization.

However, you'll notice that "Click Here, the Marketing Agency" is not on page one of Bing or Bing.

So, the collect lesson is that Adobe is in site 1 of all 3 search engines due to the fact lots of people link to them with click here since the linking text. Click Here, the advertising and marketing agency, is on page 1 regarding Google because they optimized their site for your phrase Click Here, but that had not been enough for Yahoo or Bing.

I'm thinking maybe it's a good idea to get more links containing your keyword? You think?
