hi ,

How should a site be assessed to know whether it is successful as far as search engine rankings are concerned? What is considered a good ranking?

thanks

Hi,
A successful site is one that ranks high enough for its chosen search
terms that it gets sufficient visitors to achieve the objective that you
had in setting up the site in the first place.

"success" would depend on what your objectives are and your marketing strategy. What are your objectives? What is your marketing strategy?

For example, if you are not going to spend any money on marketing and only rely on search engine ranking - then "success" may be being #1 for specific keywords. If you are going to be spending millions on advertising, then your search engine rankings won't really matter as much - you would work at it and hopefully get on the first page of search results, but it wouldn't be a priority for your business.

Totally relative, there is no definition.
But if you really want me to define, I would say - reaching your target is success

Being in TOP desn't guarantee you that you will get a lot of traffic from there. Success is getting thafic from search engine.

Do you know how to get it from SE?

dada

For me, se rankings are measured purely in terms of traffic brought to your site and/or revenue. But generally it's good to be on the first page in the se results on your query.

high rank and in SE should be in first page while u search the site by the relative key word

I guess if the site is commercial, your revenue can show the rate of success.

I think if you have a goal before creating web site and you have reached it - I think that this fact can be namesd as success.

It`s definitely true that keywords in the title tag seem to be important for high rankings on Google. It is also important that the targeted keywords are mentioned in the body tag, although the title tag seems to be more important. Using keywords in bold or strong tags seems to have a slight effect on the top rankings. Web pages that used the keywords in image file names often had higher rankings.
It's no surprise that the number of inbound links and the PageRank had a large influence on the page rankings on Google.

adminranger

The first question is relative to your goals but I would have to say that you would want to be on the 1st page for the chosen keyword.

Good ranking would be 1st but then again being in the top 3 for several million results can not be a bad thing either.

I would say a good way to measure success is through Alexa and their traffic rankings. It will at the least give you a even playing field to measure your site against others.
