2) ARE YOU LISTED BUT STILL LOST?
Search engines are the number one method people use to find websites. Most webmasters now recognize the importance of being listed in search engines. But what really matters is not simply being in search engines but ranking well for phrases relevant to your website.

For example, say John Doe Ministries publishes Sunday school materials. The webmaster of the site is pleased to see that when he types "John Doe Ministries" into Google, his site is first in the results. The problem is that unless someone is already using John Doe's materials they won't know to search for "John Doe Ministries."

The vast majority of people looking for Sunday school materials are going to enter something like "Sunday School materials" into the search engines. When the webmaster does this he finds that he's not on the first page, or the second, or the third. He keeps moving through the results until he finds his site listed on the 10th page of results at number 96. Unfortunately, he is probably the only person who is going to look through 10 pages of results for his site, and John Doe Ministries is going to get little if any visitors from the search engine. The site is listed but still lost.

Conventional wisdom is that 97 percent of Google searchers don't click past the first three pages (or 30 results). How valuable is it to be ranked in the top 30 as opposed to just being registered with Google? One columnist with Wired Magazine found out:

"...the first month a site appeared on the second or third page of Google results, traffic increased five times from the previous month, and in the second month, traffic was nine times greater. The number of unique visitors tripled when a company moved up from page two to page one, and in the second month doubled again to more than six times the traffic it received before it broke the top 10."

OurChurch.Com's Guaranteed Top Search Ranking service is guaranteed to move your site from the outer reaches of the search engine listings to the first three pages or your money back. You have nothing to lose and according to Wired Magazine on average a nine-fold increase in traffic to gain. You'd be hard pressed to come up with any anything that will increase the number of people you reach like that.
