What? You thought that the search engines were simply there to help people find the products
, information or services that they were looking for? You are wrong.
Search engines are a business just like everything else. Some are even listed on the stock exchanges and their stock is bought and sold. The object of search engines is to make money by helping people find the products, information and services they are looking for.
They SELL advertising to businesses that want to sell these products, information and services to people who are looking for them to buy.
The key word here is sell. Now when a person types key words into the search box of a search engine and hits search, the search results that are displayed on the first page are mostly paid or sponsored advertisements.
Look carefully next time you do a search. At the top of the page and on the right side of the page you will see what are apparently bought advertisements.
They say sponsored links. The top of the page ads are the ones that cost the most.the ones on the right side cost slightly less.
The top few results are most often directly related to those paid advertisements on the top and right side of the page. Of course, search results are bought and paid for.
That really shouldnt come as a big surprise. What is that saying? Its a material world! and just like always, money does talk.
Website owners buy AdWord advertisements and then the search engine spiders determine at what number those advertisements are seen in the results.
Thats why SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is so important and why it is the battle cry of all Internet entrepreneurs.Beware of Search Results!
