I read an article on seochat.com the other day, entitled ‘How to Steal to the Top of Google: Use the News’ and came across this statement:

‘You see, the average person completely glosses over most ads on internet sites without even focusing on them’

I disagree, and I’ll tell you why :-

Over recent months I’ve been helping a family friend replace his company’s website with an ecommerce website selling recliner furniture straight from the page.

The one thing I’ve noticed while doing this site for them is the lack of significance of their Google Pagerank - their page doesn’t show up in the first 20 pages of google results for the term ‘recliner’ - even with a search limited to UK sites only.

The one thing that’s made their website a success is their GoogleAds campaign, and other advertising media.

So it just goes to show - Google Pagerank isn’t everything - I have proof!
