Blatant Attempt to Top Amazon Search Results
Imagine going to www.amazon.com and typing in "Sea Story" in the search bar, hitting the enter key and at the top of the search results you find all the books by yours truly, Malcolm Torres? Wouldn't that be nice. But how to make it happen? How to make it happen? Well, my research into how search engines work is limited, but as far as I can tell, they work on associations. And the associations as I understand them works like this: When your website contains links that get a lot of traffic (ie links to popular websites), then your page rises in the rankings. I think this assumes that people are hitting links that take them to your website and / or they are on your website and hitting links to other websites. It's simple, if your website gets a lot of incoming or outgoing traffic then somehow the search engines know this and they rank you higher in their search engine results. So, logically your first step to climbing the search engine results is to have links related to the content of your website that get the most traffic. So, naturally it make sense to go to Google, Bing, Yahoo and Amazon and search for your most important key word (in my case "Sea Story") and put the results on my web page. No?
