Don't Stop When You Hit The Top!

A lot of folks make a very critical error, when they start seeing good search engine rankings and the nice increase in traffic that good rankings can bring. They get busy with their new visitors, then they stop. They stop working on content, they stop working on links, and they eventually stop seeing good rankings.

Then, they start complaining about Google, or Inktomi, or whatever search engine dropped them first. They'll shout to the rafters that the search results have gone to heck in a hand basket, that the search engines are persecuting them, etc. etc

My advice to you is simple – don't stop when you hit the top. Keep forging new relationships, keep building links, keep adding content, and keep your web site up to date. Your competition isn't going to stop trying to beat you, and that includes the folks who are still ahead of you.

The effects of your efforts usually show up in the search engines a couple months later. Some folks give up after a few weeks, because they haven't seen instant results. If you stop working on your site's search engine rankings, by the time you notice a problem, you'll be a couple months (or more) behind.

If you're going to make a commitment to a search engine strategy for your website, and make the substantial investments it takes (both time and money), then stick with your commitment and execute your strategy. Don't give up too early, and don't stop when you hit the top.

tes this days lot of sites in race if u stop it for fewdays other will overtake u.

 

being on SE's, battle wont stop, its a competition until G exist.

 

Good article, thanks a lot. Never stop in seo!

 

Nice catch phrase And how true it is. A few of your top competitors can shred all of your hard work within days if you give them the chance. Keep the nose to the grindstone. It will pay off.

 

can seo really make a difference in 2-3 days? can ones ranking keep switching a lot every 3 days?? ever 2 days, every 1 day?

i thought rankings were updated once a few weeks

 

that only google knows when ever they update results will change.

 

Excellent article..so true have done it myself got to the top thought..wooo hoo on top of the world only to let myself fall down from the top of rankings b/c I didn't keep up with content addition and link building.

Wonderful tip !
