SEO thoughts

First let me say I believe in SEO as a concept. I have been practicing it for years, I think every web master does. Hasn't it always been our aim to get our web sites into the top 10, even 5? That is what SEO is all about. Getting your page listed before your competitions.

Here is were the rub comes. Do a search, in my case I used dairy lab as the keyword. Look at who comes up first. Check out the code source....can you find any keywords? Google keyword search provides just two search waikato milk meter and waikato milk meters. Take a look at the site. Is it attractive, is there any text that draws you to dairy lab? Does their logo have alt tags? Do their links say dairy lab anyplace? No, all this site has going for it is the domain name.

So here is my thought for today. Practice search engine optimization at all times but don't count on it to make you rich. There are obviously other factors that get you to the top.
