Appear on the First Page of Google - Free!

If your web site does not appear on the first page of Google, you may as well forget it - the Internet already has!

Well, ok, this may sound very harsh, but I learned it the hard way, having all these web pages and nobody comes to visit. Today the Internet is a huge disparity between the have-nots and the have-alls. Some people have all the traffic, most have NONE.

The trick is to find out FOR WHAT keywords you want to be on the first page. Most likely your web page IS already first on Google when you type in the domain name into the Google search, such as www.yourdomainname.com, but of course nobody is searching for that.

Tomorrow I will be posting in this place a FREE ONE HOUR long TRAINING VIDEO that shows in detail How to get your web site into the first page of Google. Especially if you have a blog, it is surprisingly easy these days to get into the TOP 10 Google positions, and I have achieved it now so many times, that I am eager to share.

With a skillful combination of these free tools you can definitely make inroads to web traffic: Free WordTracker, SEO Toolbox for Firefox Plugin, and WordPress. These tools literally PAVE the way to the TOP 10 IN GOOGLE. While you are waiting for my 1 hour training video, you can already check out my other videos in the Search Engine Optimization Video Tutorial category and Appear on the First Page of Google category.

googlepage1.gif As you can see in this graph, over 50% of the clicks go to the search result in the first position, and the other results are more or lest evenly distributed among the remaining items. The SECOND page and all the other pages combined get LESS than 5% of the clicks.

Windows LiveWriter software - WOW an amazing tool for Wordpress

I’m just testing this new software, Windows LiveWriter, and this is my first post that I have entered using this tool.

Windows LiveWriter allows you to use a high-quality WYSIWYG to post stuff in your blog, and you are not limited by the HTML browser. You can see how stuff looks AS YOU TYPE it into the blog.

Now let’s see how we can upload a picture into the blog, wow, I can just PAST it in here…

Then I cna just drag the picture to be larger, and it puts it right in place.

Now let’s see how I can enter a TABLE in the blog:

First row in a 3-by-3 ltable. Second column Third column
I cannot merge cells directly in the WYSIWYG tool. So I’ll probably have to go to th code to do that.  
    Last row, last column

I’m going to post a couple of Video Tutorials about how to use LiveWriter for blogs.
