There’s More To An Author’s Name Than You Might Think At First Glance…
Getting Your Name Around The Search Engines Pays Off (Inspirational)

There’s more to an author’s name than you might think and the clout enjoyed from its achieving top rankings in the major search engines is awesome. One evening recently I typed my own name into the Google.com box and up came 3,500,000 entries under ‘Jim Green’. Ranking at No.8 was ‘Starting Your Own Business’ and a little further on at No.38, ‘Starting an Internet Business at Home’.

Further investigation provided evidence of additional top rankings in the other major SEs:

Yahoo! - 3,200,000 listings - (A) Ranks #1; (B) Ranks #23

Web Search - 2,200,000 listings - (A) Ranks #13; (B) Ranks #37

Teoma - 1,713,000 listings - (B) Ranks #17

Jeeves - 1,713,000 listings - (A) Ranks #11; (B) Ranks #11

AltaVista - 1,210,678 listings - (B) Ranks #37

MSN - 1,410,492 listings - (A) Ranks #14; (B) Ranks #21

About.com - 1,339,712 listings - (A) Ranks #14; (B) Ranks #14

BBCi - 1,340,149 listings (B) Ranks #11

Hotbot - 1,413,299 listings - (A) #11; (B) Ranks #11

Lycos - 38,226 listings - (A) Ranks #6; (B) Ranks #6

All The Web - 37,303 listings - (A) #7; (B) Ranks #

Building your reputation online sells more books and in turn creates more streams of residual income. Such cost-free recognition in the shape of an additional powerful selling tool could just as easily be yours if you follow the promotional techniques in my tutorial.
