SEO principles (#1, 1st page) by Cratima.

[Cratima]

My point: You must be in the first 2 search pages to get noticed.

I am trying to do SEO for Cratima and XcellenceIT for some time
now, and I've tried not only to have the web site #1 at Google
for the keywords "Cratima" and "XcellenceIT", but also to have
as many presences as I can get in the first page.

I think is important to be in the first page, but it is not sufficient.
You have to be no 1, and you have to set a target for yourself to
occupy the entire first page.

Of course , it is best to be well indexed for other keywords, as
web design, web development, but this is more difficult, and if you
can get your web site in the first or the second page with these keywords,
you will be a SEO guru.

My questions: Are my ideas correct? Is there a big frontier between the first
3 pages of search results (at google for example) and the rest
of them, or not?

Depends on your website.. Even if you are number one and when visitors visit your site... If they don't like the site they will go for the other in Google SERP and so on and so forth...

Your website must have a good, informative contents that will attract the visitors...


I have seen number one site but few visitors visits it.. Why the site is not well designed and not attractive.... You must make a website not for SE but for visitors....

it really depends on how you optimize your whole site.

as a normal user, i search on Google and other search engines up to 3 pages. And if i can't find the one i'm looking for, i change the keyword and search again. So if i'm one of those normal users, then much more likely most of them searches only until the third page and give up. So being on the top 3 pages will be good but not enough. As cooluks said, your site must be informative and interesting so that people will continue to visit it and who knows they might tell your site to others.

Actually, I do the same thing, I browse first 2-4 pages and then change the keywords. And I agree that nr.1 does not mean you will be successful, until you start taking care of your visitors first, then everything else.

Well Said...

[Cratima]

You're right.

I am doing the same thing. I visit the interested links from
the first 2,3 pages and then I change the keywords.

But the important idea that I will try to remember for the
future is something that I also do, never stick more than 10
seconds on a poorly designed web site or one with few information.

I will debate with my team at Cratima the possibility of changing our
web site. Maybe it's time for a change.
