You need to be on the first page of Google

Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, Google is far and away the most popular search engine on the planet. No sane person would dispute that. But Google only has ten spots available on the first page. So, not only is it unrealistic, it's impossible for everyboody to achieve first page status.

But even if it were possible for everybody to achieve first page status, you shouldn't put all of your eggs in Google's basket anyway. You've seen what can happen when Google has one of its many algorithm changes. First page today, not even indexed tomorrow. That's why you should strive to have a multi-pronged marketing approach. There are a variety of methods to generate traffic.

For example, blogging, newsletters, social networking, article marketing, forum marketing, online and offline advertising, guest blogging, question and answer sites, etc. The list goes on....

Should I Invest in my website

Companies that expect to advertise on TV, radio, in newspapers, magazines, or any other media knowa that this cost money ? Yet, for some strange reason, some businesses think they can just come online and not spend any money, and advertise their business for free. This shows an utter lack of respect for the single most important communication medium since television.

And while it's true, there are plenty of free advertising opportunities available on the Internet, the fact remains, you still need money to effectively do business on the Internet.

Contrary to popular belief, the Internet is not some kind of magic bullet. Besides, it's not the medium that makes people successful, it's the individuals themselves. And the people who succeed at the highest level online or offline are generally talented, hard working, organized, focused and determined.
