I’ll give you a hint: Think about High School…

More precisely think about the social order of high school. Who ended up being homecoming/prom King & Queen? More often than not it was the most popular and relevant kids that everyone wanted to be around.

Climbing to the top of the search engine, also known as Search Engine Optimization should really be called Reputation Building.

All search engines have one goal…give the person searching what they want. Sometimes search engines need to be a little intuitive to give the best results. But the goal is to provide the most relevant and reputable results to the end user.

But here’s the rub. Search engines have different ways they define your online reputation. So called “professionals” know what search engines look for. However at the end of the day, we don’t control the list of results. No one does!!!

So the next time someone comes-a-calling claiming they can guarantee to get you on top, let your gut be your truth teller.

Well then, “what does it take to build your website’s reputation and ultimately your positioning on the search engine’s?” you may ask.
