Importance of Page Position in Google Search
I was reading a post on another blog where the author was bragging that she had achieved a page one listing when one of her key words was used to initiate the search. Checking out her claim, her site was listed at number 5 in a field of 12500 pages containing her search term.
Her site had very little content, aside from the posts about her listing on Google search. She has a Google Page Rank of 0 and from all appearances, has the potential of attracting very little traffic.
The importance of Listing on Google search is in itself meaningless. I have a personal website LarryandJuliadotcom which is listed at positions one and two if you use the search term "larry and julia" It is one of 2.2 million pages listed for that search term yet our site has a Google Page Rank of 0, and makes very little money through the Adsense program.
And for what it’s worth, this website is also in positions one and two when you do a search using the term "mr blogmeister" and it drops down to 8th position if you just search for "blogmeister"
So, I would caution you to discount page position on a Google listing as an indication of anything. If the search term is not one someone is likely to use, it is worthless. But you probably already knew that.
As always, your comments are both encouraged and welcomed.
