Only the largest, most-established authority sites can reliably see consistent traffic from Google. And even then, their rankings fluctuate constantly - several times a day, in some cases. The fact is - it's getting harder and harder for the "little guy" to get any kind of meaningful web presence on the web these days.
Getting ranked in Google is almost impossible unless you've got a major promotional budget and some time on your hands to "wait" for your domain to become trusted (Google favors older domains). And advertising with pay-per-click ads isn't affordable like it once was.
Search marketing has finally become what everyone feared it would - a game reserved for big business. But what if there was still a way to legtiimately rank for keywords with tons of traffic? And what if you could do this without having to spend months and even years building up an authority site to do so? In fact - what if you could systematically create one-page minisites that could rapidly rank in the top 3 spots (consistently) for basically any keyword you target within a matter of a week or so? Is this for real?
YES.
But not with Google.
It's happening right now, as we speak, on MSN.com
Now - before you think it - yes, I know, MSN doesn't have nearly the reach that Google does. But, it still does receive millions and millions of search users daily. After all - MSN is the default home-page for anyone who first uses Internet Explorer.
And, to put it in perspective, which would drive more traffic? Occupying the #1 ranking for your most desirable keyword target on MSN? Or occupying the #47 spot on page 5 of Google's results? Sadly, it's actually more effort to make it to the 47th spot in Google than it is to literally dominate in MSN.
