If you haven't figured out the secret yet on how this website has gotten all
those high rankings, it is this: Create pages focused on the keywords you want
to rank high on. Notice that only a few of these keywords are linked by Google
to our main BookMarket.com index page. Almost all of them are linked to a
specific page that is optimized for that key word or phrase.
Once your website starts ranking high for one or two keywords, it becomes
easier to create more high-ranking pages. All you have to do is create listings
or pages devoted to the keyword.
Note: I stumbled upon this phenomenon by accident. My purpose has always been
to create a useful website for book authors and publishers. In doing that, I've
created many high-content pages that search engines love.
I haven't created high Google rankings only for my BookMarket.com website.
I've also done it for many of my hobby websites. Check out their
top Google rankings here.
