Right now our home page has a Google PageRank of 4/10 and we are on the first page of search results for the words “ingredients australia”. To give some perspective on that, we are currently only 7 places below Vic Cherikoff’s website and his site has a PageRank of 5/10. Vic Cherikoff’s site is one that definitely does have a great deal of valuable content relating to “ingredients australia” and has been around for a long time.

In of itself that would not be very surprising, until you consider that we have almost nothing on the front page. In fact, the page Google has currently indexed simply says “Sorry, there is nothing here yet but you can contact us at….”. Not only does it have very little content on it but it has no links out of it (except for our email) nor does Google have any links to it indexed. We have also made very little mention of our site.

How much real value this has depends on whether we are specifically aiming to attract Google traffic based on the keywords “ingredients australia”. Nevertheless it is interesting to see just how skewed search engine results can get.

(Note having said all that, these results may just disappear as soon as I publish this!)
