Ranking higher in Google
How do I rank Higher in Google?
“How do I rank higher in Google“. This is a question that I get asked all of the time. I will do my best to shed some serious light on the “higher ranking in Google” question as best that I can.
Everyday there are there are somehwere in the neighborhood of 150 million searches for information and products on the internet. That means that in a month there are nearly 4.5 BILLION searches. Getting your website or webpage to rank higher in these listings on Google, Yahoo, Bing and the other engines as well, takes some skill and a little determination. there is no sure fire method or silver bullet to do just that. However, there are surefire methods to raise your position to the forefront and possibly to the top positions based on your industry.
What is ranking on a search engine?
Page or website ranking on a search engine is best explained in this way. The search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing are in essence very large lists. Think of them as an index of terms, websites and website pages. Websites and the web pages first get associated with key terms. The terms or keywords are then typed in by everyone on the search engine pages like Google.com or Yahoo.com. At that very moment Google or yahoo or whichever, give their list of choices to the searcher, lists the results in SERP’s. The list may have 100 thousand choices or it may have 100 million. Either way, that list is given in a certain prioritized manner. YOU CANNOT BUY YOUR WAY INTO THIS LIST. YOU CANNOT BUY YOUR WAY TO THE TOP OF THIS LIST. YOU CAN HOWEVER, MOVE UP THIS LIST.
How do I get found in Google
The method of moving your site up this list is called search engine optimization. Search engine optimization or SEO as it is called, is a way of optimizing your website and its pages so that the search engines give maximum credibility and visibility in their SERP’s. So with that said let’s give an example.
Let’s say that you have a website in the healthcare industry. You have made a website and went to google to find your site. You are so excited. You have waited for this moment. You type in Healthcare. You go through page after page on Google and see 100,000 other healthcare professionals and healthcare providers but not yourself. At this point you shake it off and decide to take a new approach. You type in “Healthcare in Dallas” this time you see all of your competition and a bunch of other sites that have nothing to do with healthcare AND you still do not see your healthcare professional website. At this point you are flat out frustrated. Why are all of these other businesses and websites showing up and you are nowhere to be found. It doesn’t seem fair, or does it?
The reason they are showing up in the rankings and you are not is this. Whether they intended it or not their site has been somehow “optimized” for those keywords in that list of results. Remember, you can not buy a placement in these lists. The way that they moved up in the lists is really simple. They used search engine optimization to move up the ranks in Google or whatever search engine it happened to be.
SEO isn’t associtaed with the search engines in a business sense. Search engine optimization is really more of a way of doing business. It is a method of web design and web marketing that enhances the “natural” visibility and the “natural” ranking that you recieve in a search engine.

Most Popular man in Google
Nov 29th
Most popular man in google? You are probably wondering why I would ever care to talk about such a thing. This is why.
The most popular man in Google idea
For those out there that know me, you’ll think this is typical Jared. I had the idea one day in the car to become the most popular man alive. I didn’t have the idea because I actually wanted or cared to be popular. I was actually just thinking about all of the other people that are out there and are popular just because they are popular. That started me to thinking that those people have more power than a low IQ person should be allowed to have. That being thought, I decided to overtake their position in the world or atleast test the system to see how feasible something like that could be for an unpopular nobody like myself. Would it be possible to overtake the world just by making the effort to do so? As I would soon find out, its not really as hard as it seems. Good old fashioned effort goes a long way as it turns out.
Starting an empire
So the first step in taking over the world as the most popular man alive is to buy the domain name “mostpopularmanalive.com“. Seems a little too simple, but that is what I did. I bought the domain name and started a blog on a 15 dollar hosting account. What followed is probably not typical, but it is amazing none the less. After buying the name, applying the hosting and clicking install on the blog structure, I went back and wrote my first blog about my idea on my professional website design website. The post was simple and to the point. I simply wrote out what I was doing and how I was going to do it. At this point I also decided to go ahead and blog about it on my personal website to add a little initial juice to the process. Once the blog structure was installed on mostpopularmanalive.com I went to the blog and did a little css styling to make it an appealing looking blog. While there I went ahead and did a quick blog about the prcess so far.
My amazement
It only took 11 minutes to become 5th in google!!!
At this point. I decided to check out the competition in google and starting my plan making process to someday make a run for the front page in google. To my amazement my initial website design news archive post had already grabbed ahold of the number five position in google for the most popular man alive.
I couldn’t believe it. Was it really that easy? I was so impressed that I took a snapshot of the google page to show my post with an impressive 11 minutes old tag at the bottom of it to prove how fast the accomplishment had been made.
6 hours into fame
After the first hour in I checked again to see if my new found fame was a fluke or had really happened like i saw earlier. To my further amazement I now had two out of the top five placements in google for the most popular man alive. Yes, two in the top five. Now fueled by the prospect of making an actual name for myself in the top ten I made a renewed and concerted effort at conquering this beast of a list. I went a little overboard and started linking and posting to everything that I could think of to post to. Apparently my efforts were not in vain. After about six hours I checked back to find that I now three of the top five placements in google for the most popular man alive. Yes, three now. Of course you know what I did next. Yes, another snapshot for proof on of my bragging rights. I had officially conquered a list that usually is toppled by the Matthew McConougheys and Brad Pitts of the world. IT really felt good that, if only in theory, to be more popular that even Barak Obama.
I am the most popular man alive!
So its now a few weeks later and I have a few new unexpected surprises to add to my joyous new status. The sexiest man alive! No, I did not get that award that was Johnny Depp, good for him. I did however, manage to find a few surprises for myslf in the ranks of many a google search. The following extremely hard and high ranks are ones that I have recently myself holding in the magical Google!
- I have the number one image in google for “Most popular man alive“
- I have the number one image in google for “Most popular man in the world“
- I have the number 2,3,4,5,6 image in google for “Most popular man“
- I have 6 of the top ten pages in google for “Most popular man alive“
- I have the “most popular pic in google“
- I have the top placement for “most popular man on facebook“
- I have the top placements for the “most popular man on twitter“
The findings don’t even come close to stopping there. There are a dozen or so more that are just amazing but you get the point.
So why the most popular man?
The long point of this entire process has not been to brag about being the most popular man in google. It is in fact an experiment that went astronomically better than planned. I wanted something to show just how good at SEO and public relations that I really was. I wanted a good case study to show the potential of everything that I do as a working individual and that was exactly the payoff that I got. If you would like for me to do something like this for you, I can. In the words of the second most popular man alive, “Yes, I can”.
