How Not To Rank #1 In Google
By Jon | February 11, 2009
This will be a short and unprepared blog post. I have to do this because I can’t take it any longer.
I’ve been seeing a lot of products being sold that’s related on “how to rank #1 in Google” subject.
This is a scary! Lot’s people are being scammed here. Save your money simply by reading this entire blog post.
Here are some tips to check if it’s the website or product is bogus:
1. If the sales page is saying that they’re ranking in certain keyword in Google as their proof, check first the competition and how many people are searching for this keyword. Obviously, it is easy to rank on keywords with little competition. That’s no brainer! What they’re going to sell to you is likely to be worthless information.
Don’t be deceived with number of websites in SERPs. This is not accurate and I’ve showed it to hundreds of my “Digging for Gold” customers on how to know accurately measure the competition.
2. If all they talk about in their sales page is link building, it’s crap. Why? Because incoming link is just a tiny fraction of complex Google algorithm.
3. If they promise you that you’ll rank within 24 hours. Well, yes you may rank within short span of time, but for what keyword? It’s likely on less competitive keywords. Anybody can do that.
Another thing is, even if you rank 1,2, or 3, how long will your ranking last? That’s a BIG question.
4. If they don’t talk about building a website for your customers or readers. Website is for human first and robots second.
So, save your money and subscribe to this blog to learn more on how to rank in Google in Google’s way.

Hi You’re spot on
I came across This Software program and they showed a keyword that had 2.3 million websites ( broad phrase) and they said Look !!!! what you can do with this $1000 Software – We even have a 3 split payments for you!! Ha …
After doing a more detailed analysis – “” exact phrase was only 12 websites — Huh!! that made me sick to my stomach..
I even posted it on their blog – and it got deleted! No surprise there I guess.
If they were genuine – they would have kept the post and defended it — at least.
There are so many scam artists out there – its unbelievable.
Particularly the IM market.
These marketers are making everyone Super cautious about the genuine teachers who teach the real Im techniques.
Thanks for the rant.

Great job George.
People really should study this softwares and tools proliferating in the Internet.
It’s costing them a lot of money and their business is heading in a sure failure.
Why don’t you drop the name of this software.

Hey Taknique, Google did some changes to the free keyword tool. It doesn’t report anymore the local monthly average. Now, it is “Global”. It’d be nice if you put a video what you think about it.
