How to be at the top of the search engine list

by bedat11 - 6/26/08 6:58 PM

My brother and a friend of his have a math tutoring program to help students who might need additional attention for math. What I would like to know is how can we get the program on the first page of search engines? For example a parent would like to find additional math help outside of school, so the parent gets on google and searches for someone who may provide that service. How can our math program be seen first?

(pseudo-)science called search-engine optimization. If you search for SEO you'll find tons of hits. However, don't believe everybody telling you they can do it for only $3000.

The most important factors:
- Have 10.000 thrustworthy sites link to your site.
- Make a nice clear easy understandable home page that clearly describes what your site is all about.

There are too many SnakE Oil salespeople than you can imagine. It's so high that if anyone offers you SEO then they are a scammer. Do your own legwork about how this works and don't pay.

I have had a small business site since 1995. I have been giving it some attention of late and reading everything I could find. I have raised my links from 12 to 111 in 2 weeks. I agree - do your own leg work. It's time consuming but you will be in control.
