SEO Goals

Let's say you are a travel agent. You want to be number one on Google in all Travel related searches.

If you really wanted to set your goals high, I'm here to offer you free advice on exactly how to achieve this.

Google the word, travel.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Here's your competition...
2 Billion other travel related websites (As of 2pm Central Time; about 2,010,000,000 for travel)

Who's the current number one? Yahoo; of course.

If you plan to compete with this number one spot on Google here's your next step...
 
Do a simple site search on Google, site:travel.yahoo.com to find out how many unique pages are being fed into this website so you can truly understand what your competition has that you may or may not have. (As of 2pm Central Time; about 7,860,000 for site:travel.yahoo.com) Your competition has almost 8 million pages of travel content and (I'm just guessing here) you do not.

How do you compete???
Its a two step process:
1. First, you must build 7,860,000+ pages of unique travel-related content. In other words, its time to start blogging A LOT!
2. Second, get out your checkbook its time to spend as much if not more money than Yahoo on internet marketing. I hope you have that kind of money...

After all is said and done, you've created close to 8 million new pages of travel content and you've spent millions of dollars in your marketing budget. After all this time and money you might have a chance to be #1 on Google!

This was free advice, I offer no guarantees. Simply something to consider when you set your SEO goals.
