Golden Keys to Your Successful Web Site

There are major keys to any successful web site. You need to know where your keywords are taking you and never give up if you want to be a successful entrepreneur on the Internet.
Several billion pages are added to the web daily. Google searches 1 trillion unique URLs daily. At times you wonder if your efforts will ever pay off. Don't be discouraged. There are a few golden rules that will ensure your success.

Every entrepreneur aiming to succeed in Cyber Space, wants to see their website as No. 1 on the Search Engines. To achieve this you need to do several things. First you must have quality content, plus a lot of hard work as the major cornerstones of your Internet success. Then you need to think outside the box. The Internet is based on logic, but it is often the illogical that takes you to the top. It often takes only that one whacky idea that works, for you to succeed.

You can look no further than the four golden rules of Patience, Passion, Perseverance and Discipline. Without these you will be just another number in the long queue of those who overestimate the short term results of their website and underestimate the long term results. The net result being, just as the tide is about to turn, they quit. They become disillusioned and abandon their project, just about the time the harvest is about to roll in. They abandon their dream.

There has been a lot written about long keyword tails etc. The secret is to find high traffic, low competition words. However, even when you have what you firmly believe to be a prospective goldmine in keywords, you still has to do the hard work to make the site a success.

When we came up with the idea of launching Win a Resort, with its once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity, we were totally on our own. No one had done anything like raffling a whole resort on the Internet, let alone a luxury boutique resort on a tropical island in the South Pacific. While we had no competition, we had buyer resistance. The prize of Seachange Lodge Resort was too good to be true. It had to be another Internet scam.

With great enthusiasm we built version number one. It was built in a simple blog format, but it worked quite well. We managed to get it rise to a No. 3 page ranking on Google. We were so proud of ourselves, so we decided it was time to start to rebuild a new stand-alone site in Dreamweaver. This was quite a challenge all on its own.

Of course, as with most web masters find out, rebuild a site and the page ranking devastatingly falls away. There one day, gone the next. At the same time our Merchant Bank, which processes credit cards online, got caught in the financial fallout from the United States. Three and a half agonizing months followed. We were never given any reassurance the bank would return. Selling Blue Moon Opportunity raffle tickets on the Internet is classed as being High Risk. There are very few companies which will process credit cards for what they wrongly state as being a lottery.

1. We typed winaresort into Google - Total number of references 1,970. Only at slot 120 was there one small break.

2. Wendy Tendys - 4,100 References. Slot 113 before there is a break

5. Seachange Lodge - We hold the first 19 slots out of 76,100 references

6. YouMe Support Foundation - We hold the first 20 spots before there is a break, with a lot more spots following on. Total number of references 349,000

7. Blue Moon Opportunity - We hold 6 slots out of 10 on the first page of Google, 866,000 references

8. Win a resort - We have the first two slots on page one out of 32,500,000 references

9. Tropical Islands - We hold slot number 27 out of 2,590,000

10. Wendy.winaresort - Our new blog only opened up a couple of weeks ago, has a full page on Google already

From our stats we see that Yahoo, Google and MSN Search Engine Spiders are all over us, picking up our new material every day. We have other keywords, but we need to do a lot more work on them.

The main key to all of this is dare to dream and dare to dream big. Fight for that dream with passion and everything you have in you and don’t let it go. Put in the hard work and you too will take your place among the successful entrepreneurs of the Internet.
