SEO for Organic Results Does Not Equal Sales

(Page 1 of 4 )

You managed to get your website high in the search engine results pages, but you're still not seeing the sales you expected? Maybe it isn't the search engines' fault. In this article, Clint Dixon talks about changes you can make to your site so that your visitors find it more compelling and will be more likely to convert.

You are all set to turn the lights on to your new website and web-based business. You're sure that, once you reach the top rankings of the search engines, the site will make you a millionaire in a relatively short amount of time, as compared to other real world businesses.

You reach the top of the results pages of the search engine Google and the traffic is coming to your website. And after a month of traffic coming to your website your total sales for the month are...zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

Now you sit and ponder, you think, argue with yourself, rant, rave, and look at your front page results report. At one time it made you happy as a kid in a candy store, but now has you fit to be tied.

How could this be? How could the perfect search engine optimization of your website produce such terrible results? How indeed? Most likely the results you wanted were replaced by bad information. Yes, there is a lot of hype surrounding Google Front Page rankings. They may help drive traffic to your website, but this does not mean that a front page ranking alone will help you to grow your business.

As a matter of fact, if you started a website with the thought that by being listed on Google's front page you would build your business to unknown heights, you should probably call an attorney about chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. You may soon need them.

Like any good addiction recovery program, there is a 12 step program for Google Overdose Victims to get your web-based business back on track. Follow this guide, and you should be well on your way to driving sales and maintaining customer relationships for the life of your business.
