Good question. I have run a dating business on the Internet since 1998, and I can tell you that there are two ways

1. There is something called the organic listing, and they are the websites that come up first (under sponsored listings) You get to the top because you have been around the longest, have the most relevant words that a person has typed in the search engines for example: "free online dating" or "single" The search engine will go looking for a site that has those words in the title of their website, and also has the words somewhere on the main page of their site.

2. Now the sponsored listings appear above organic listings because companies pay for this. They actually bid for them and they will change all the time. They are not necessarily the most relevant sites, but they have paid to appear on top so you will click on them.

Despite what the other replys here say the PAID results are always highlighted (with the term sponsored links).

The natural rankings of website are determined by a number of things:

1) the number of external links coming to a website. The more relevant and useful links you have coming to your website the better the search engines will deem your website, because it is popular in the wonderful world that is the internet.
2) The number of times that the search term that has been enter appears on your website. For example, you cal have a million website pointing to yours, but if the searcher is looking for travel books and your website is all about swimming then you will not appear high for that search term.
**Do your research and check which search terms the visitors are putting into the search engines - the optimise your website for these terms**.
3) The keywords that appear in your headings and title are very important to search engines so remember to include these.

Paid listings are always clearly marked letting the searcher know that that website has paid for that position. However the natural listings are the website that the search engines thing are the most relevant for your query using the factors mentioned above.

when a search engine operates it uses meta tags therefore the search engine has certain criterias in terms of what form each search result operates it selects

1. The most closely related site with meta tags appears
2. The most trafficked website this is the one with the most people that visit
3. The one with most advertisement and financial revenue
4. The one matching the criteria of what is being looked up e.g baseball caps


When the search engine finds these sources it then determines the results

FOR example google uses the method of which site is most popular and relavent a meta tag appears on the html code and this is selected along with all the other factors above.

Lets say you design and site and it has computer games and it has this within its description you may NOTICE your site on the 5th page the reason for this is due to multinational comapnies and other websites that either have more advertisement, appeal, traffiking and agreement with the search engine

Overall the factors that determine the order of t6he search engine is based on the creteria above also notice when typing in any item if the trafficing changes so does the order

Search engines determine what sites get top links etc by the use of algorythms. These are known only to the search engines but experts such as SEO, search engine optimization pros have a good understanding of what it takes to achieve top rankings and can help you get your site better exposure by making it search engine ready. There are many steps to SEO and it can take much time to achieve top rankings.

You do not have to pay for top rankings unless you are using PPC, pay per click and that places you under the ad sitdes of search engines. Consumers know which are paid and which are organic. Some use PPC as a means of generating business while they wait for their site to gain in rankings through seo

There are programs that map your past searches and will display links in the order this software thinks you want them in based on past preferences.

Who paid the most money.
It's a sad fact but if you want your info at the top you have to pay for it.
It's all commercialised now, sadly.

PROVEN by OPRAH SHOW, MAKING MONEY USING PAYPAL…
Do you need extra income ? Quickly and Legally ?

Do you have a Pay Pal Account ? ( if not, the set up takes under 5 minutes AND IT'S TOTALLY FREE !!! )
You could make anywhere from $22,00-$50,000 in one month's time with more money coming in every month thereafter !

$ 50,000 in Pay Pal ?

That's Right ! $ 50,000 dollars in your Pay Pal ACCOUNT, IT WAS PROVEN ON OPRAH and this system is COMPLETELY LEGAL !!!
You may have heard of this program ( or one like it ) on 20/20 or even in the Wall Street Journal.

$ 10 that's all it takes. I'll try to keep it short and sweet.
HERE ARE THE STEP-BY-STEP DIRECTIONS :

Step 1.
Set up your Pay Pal account, if you don't already have one, and send the top name ( 1st person ) $ 5.00 dollars. DON'T FORGET to include "Please add me to your list". This is important as it keeps the program legal.

Step 2.
Send the other $ 5.00 dollars and a note stating "Thank you. I've joined" to the 5th name on the list.

Step 3.
Remove the top name, bump the other 4 names up one place each. Place your name in the bottom slot and you will receive a minimum of $ 100.00 for your efforts.

Step 4.
Keep sending/posting the letter until you receive 20 "Thank you, I've joined" replies in your mailbox.

That's it, It's that simple !

To get started just copy this whole page and paste it to edit it. Simply follow the instructions below and in 2 to 3 weeks, you will have as much as $ 50,000 in your Pay Pal account or even more.

Most people respond to this program because of the low investment ( $ 10 dollars ) and the high profit potential. There is no limit to the income you can generate from this ( you can do it over and over ). If you follow the instructions, you will reach thousands of people ! Honesty, Faith, and Integrity make this system work.

I think everyone has heard of Pay Pal. Anyone with an e-mail address can join for FREE !
Sign up for Pay Pal here www.paypal.com

Just make sure you have a Business or Premier account or you may be subjected to a monthly income limitation which may slow this program down.

Send $ 5 to the first person on the list by using the pay pal send money feature, and include in the e-mail: "Please add me to your list". This keeps the program legal. Then send another $ 5 to the 5th person on the list, with an e-mail that says: "Thank you. I've joined".

Remove the 1st e-mail address and place your address at the bottom. This moves the 2nd to 1st, 3rd to 2nd, and the 5th into 4th.
DO NOT TRY TO PLACE YOURSELF IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT WILL ONLY REACH THE PEOPLE YOU SEND IT TO, AND THEN YOUR NAME WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST !
If you do this the way it was designed, it will reach thousands by the time your name gets to the top.

REMEMBER TO SEND a $ 5.00 dollar donation to the 1st e-mail address and the message "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR LIST", and send an e-mail with the words "THANK YOU - I'VE JOINED" and the other $5.00 dollars to the 5th person.

This will help the 5th person to keep track of progress of the letter and continue to send out more e-mails. Here is the list:

1.)tbarrett7119@yahoo.com
2.) jebuscimperfect4@yahoo.com
3.) donielle_lewis@bellsouth.net
4.) ojosforever@aol.com
5.) nimala3490@yahoo.com
( Make sure it's the same e-mail address that you used to open your Pay Pal account. This is the way you will receive your payment)

Now that you have paid the 1st and the 5th person and sent them both an e-mail ( via Pay Pal account ) and placed your e-mail address in the 5th place, then what you need to do is post your letter. You can post on craigslist.com, backpage.com, message boards and newsgroups (there are thousands) and you can even send an e-mail to your e-mail list. IT IS YOUR JOB AS THE 5TH PERSON ON THE LIST TO ENSURE THERE ARE AT LEAST 20 "THANK YOU. I'VE JOINED" replies.

The fifth person is the guardian of the system ! If there are not at least 20 replies then the 5th person will keep sending/posting the letter until there are.

MAKE SURE YOU SEND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE FIRST PERSON TO THANK THEM FOR WHEN THEY WERE THE GUARDIAN OF THE LETTER AND $ 5 DOLLARS TO THE 5TH PERSON SO MORE EMAILS CONTINUE TO GO OUT !!!

Now the fun happens. We reap what we sow. Other people will see your posting and do the exact same thing, bringing you lots and lots of dollars !!! Seriously, it's common sense - you do it and 25 or more people see and do the exact same thing and everyone wins !!!

You will receive thanks AND THE SAME BLESSING. When your name is on the 1st slot, 8,000 to 15,000 people will send you $ 5.00 dollars ! Keep in mind the most you spend is $ 10 DOLLARS ! ( WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND ! )
______________________________...
Please give it an honest effort, you will not be disappointed and will be very glad you did when it starts to work. Remember, all you are going to be out of pocket is about the cost of a couple of coffees with the opportunity of banking thousands of dollars into your Pay Pal account! Take the smallest risk of your life !!!! Take 10-20 minutes to work on this small project and reap the rewards !
With warm wishes, bless you and your loved ones, ...
$$$$$ REMEMBER, IT IS 100% LEGAL! DON'T PASS THIS UP
STILL NEED PROOF? Here are just 3 testimonials from the countless individuals who decided to invest nothing more than $10 and half an hour of their time to participate in this program:…
"What an amazing plan! I followed your instructions
just 3 weeks ago, and although I haven't made 36 grand
yet, I'm already up to $19,135. I'm absolutely gob
smacked." - Pam Whittemore ,Ohio
"Well, what can I say?... THANK YOU SO MUCH! I sent 40
e-mail's out like you said and then I just forgot about the whole
thing. To be honest, I didn't really think anything would come of it. But when I
checked my paypal account a week later, there was over $7,000 in
After 30 days I now have over $13,000 to spend! I can't thank you
enough!"- Juan Tovar ,NY ,NY
"I was shocked when I saw how much money came
flooding into my paypal account . Within 3 weeks my
account balance has ballooned to $12,449. At first I
thought there had been some sort of error with my
account !" -Richard Barri
