According to Hitwise, for November 2009, Google had 71.57% of search engine volume; Yahoo a very distant second with 15.39%; and the new kid on the block – MSN’s BING just captured 9.34%. Which prompts the crucial question: How’s your web site ranking for important keyword searches on Google? And if your web site is not doing well, what's a business to do?
Sometimes a little knowledge goes a long way. Everyone wants the high search engine rankings in order to gain a wider online presence, but most are clueless how to garner coveted top ranking spots in Google and other search engines. The solution - learn search engine optimization (SEO).
