The Thrill of Being Number 1 on Google
Many of us start our home based business purely as a way to earn some extra income. After looking around the Internet for ideas it quickly becomes apparent to most (particularly those of us with limited or no computer skills or Internet marketing knowledge) that the quickest and easiest way to get started is by way of affiliate marketing. We fast realise that the only way to build a strong and lasting business is to stop promoting the site provided to us by the affiliate program and build our own website to market the affiliate product, and what a thrill it is when we type in the URL of our site and there it is, our first true Internet presence.
Once built and hosted we then rush to the search engines and type in the title name of our website, somehow expecting to see it at the top of the listing. Oh the disappointment when out of the thousands or millions of results that pop up, our site cannot be found, time and time again we return in a vain hope that somehow things will have changed and our site will miraculously appear at the top of the listing only to be met with more disappointment.
