Search Engine Impact

From: Rod Aries It is like the author Jonathan Franzen, who was selected to appear on Oprah's Book Club, but snubbed Oprah. [Moderator's note: I.e., Oprah Winfrey, top U.S. TV talk show host, syndicated around the world.] Franzen worried about his place in the "high-art literary tradition" and complained that the Oprah logo on his book amounted to a "corporate" endorsement and wasn't really "worthy" for his book because she wasn't a true critic. Oprah then withdrew the offer, probably costing Franzen thousands and thousands of sales. If you are in business, consider the search engines as Oprah -- you want their endorsement, and the traffic they bring. 

But, I will agree that writing for the Internet is different than writing for the real world. Viewers generally come to your site for a different reason and want to be able to process that data in a manner convenient to them -- not to read intensely profound works of literature. ( More on this at http://www.howtointernet.com/net_copy_writing.html. ) 

Marcia stated:
The greatest number of visitors are coming to my site via phrases for which I am ranked either #1 or close to #1.

We own 10,000 domains and we market and monitor them closely. I have a personal business site that I have had for about four years. When I first built it, I was happy to get 300 visitors a month. Over time I have worked hard to build up traffic, up to almost 100,000 unique visitors a month. For the last 10-12 months I have enjoyed a number one ranking in a major Yahoo directory (not on a directory, but on a search) and I have received 800-1,200 visitors a day from Yahoo for this reasonably, frequently searched term.

About a month ago, I fell to the second slot, and then about a week ago I fell to the third slot. My traffic, now in the number three position, is now about 300-500 per day... In the number two spot I was about 500-750 a day.

In short, I dropped down two spots and lost about 15,000 monthly visitors to my site from Yahoo, or about 15% of my overall traffic for this site.

It looks like, based on this isolated observation, that a 2nd ranking may get about half of a top ranking, and a third ranking about a third of the traffic a top ranked web page receives. Imagine how a number 10 or number 25 ranking compares....

In short, Oprah would say, get ranked high, and let customers decide what is "worthy."

At your service,
Rod Aries
