Hello and welcome to How to Attain Top Rankings – a Do-It-Yourself Guide. My name is Alan Twigg and I’ll be your host and educator. I’m pleased to tell you that with the information I will be giving you and little effort on your part, you can look forward to owning a website that is visible to your customers and that ranks well in the major search engines. Ask most people why some websites occupy the top positions in search engines and they’ll either shrug their shoulders or tell you it’s something to do with meta tags. Well, I’m going to tell you that it’s nothing to do with luck or meta tags and everything to do with how you design your site and your link strategy. 

Increasingly, internet users are using search engines to find what they are looking for. Indeed, more than a third of all visitors to the world’s most popular websites arrive from search engines. Business-to-business users conduct most if not all of their supplier research using the internet and in particular search engines. Make no mistake, internet search is growing and the successful companies of the future will be those with the highest search engine visibility.
