Search Engine Rankings
The following are the Search Engine Rankings for the CarsInLondon.Com website. The site was completed June 2004 and since then I have been tweaking the on-pape optimization to see what kind of Rankings I could get with out doing a reciprocal links campaign. (This site also has a number links of PR4 and PR5 links I have given it from my other sites and a few links in my forum signatures.)
The Inventory Listing Web Application starts at $99 for a 25 user. If you want a quality Inventory Listing program that can get you good Search Engine Rankings, then you just found it!
Bookmark this site and watch my Rankings go through the roof. I currently have 22 top 5 postions out of 45 and of those 22, 12 are #1. The #1 results below are from ranges of ~400,000 to ~20,000 with 1 at 3,562. (The numbers are results the search engines find for a search of a key phrase. The higher the number the more competition and the harder to get high ranking.)
I will be recording the before and after results of the ranking for the below key phrases. While the Rankings on Yahoo and MSN are good the Rankings on Google are poor. This is where a reciprocal links campaign come in.
On November the 1st I will have a fully automated reciprocal links software setup so those that want to trade links can add their link to this site automatically. Also at the same time I will start a reiprocal links campaign. The link request emails that I will be sending out will include a URL of the offer link on this site, and a URL of where they can edit their title and description and submit the return URL they have given back to this site. I have this same software up and running on my SEO Company site.
*Note: While London, Ontario Canada is a small city with the population of 365,000, in ranking for these key phrases I am in competition with sites in London UK.
