I could go on and list a lot more number 1, 2 and 3 keyword listings, but I think you get the point. Also, my Google PageRank went up from PR=4 to PR=5 after the Google Florida dance update.

(Of course, rankings change sometimes hourly or faster, so there's no guarantee that I'll have these rankings forever, but as of 1-10-04 I did.)

The reason all of this happened is not because I worked some miracle, it's because Google eliminated a LOT of the websites that were violating Google's rules.

This opened up room at the top for the websites that were doing things the right way.

Follow my basic guidelines and you can see your websites shoot to the top of Google's rankings for your keyword phrases.

Follow the rules for Google and the other search engines and in the long run and you will be rewarded with high rankings. Don't go chasing the latest fads. Stick with the basics.
