It's easy to place an ad and you can also put a few images with each ad as well as a link and a price. Or if you want to swap something you can do that as well. The only stipulation is that if you are selling products, food or health and beauty, they have to be all natural sustainable products. But you can advertise just about anything else. Did I mention that it's free?
Because the page ranking of the website on Google is so high it means that your website or product will benefit by being advertised on Natures Nexus. There are no strings attached and Nature's Nexus is an Not for profit organization. It only takes 10 minutes to place an ad so don't be shy.

Hi whitewitchzita,

I hate to have to correct people, but I've noticed that information read on the forum tends to be taken as truth.

A Page Rank of 1 is not high, it is in fact ... low.

Google Page Rank goes from Unranked, to zero and from zero to ten,
Unranked is Google hasn't decided.
0 is bad and a Google Page Rank of 10 is best.

Hii Eoin, correction noted.
I'll give you an example to show you what I meant, I used the wrong terminology but then that is not my strong point.
I published an article on Swine flu and natural treatments, the same day when the key words "swine flu natural treatment" are typed into Google search engine Nature's Nexus comes up on the first page...page 1!
That is pretty good really considering all the information that is on the internet at present to do with the swine flu.

Actually strictly speaking the page rank is a 3 out of 10, but these figures fluctuate and it is rare for anybody to get higher than a 5!

Hi Ruth,

I'm glad you didn't take offence, I'm only trying to keep information correct.

I understand what you were now trying to say but again, sorry, but I'm going to have to dispute your logic.

Being first for "swine flu natural treatment" in Google.ie is not a sign of good SEO,
it's just that there is no other Irish web site using the words "swine flu natural treatment" ... so you have to show up first.

Also, until you wrote that post, there was no one looking for "swine flu natural treatment" in Ireland.

whitewitchzita wrote:So tell me then in relation to Nature's Nexus what is it's Page Rank? 1 or 10?

Your site is unranked at the moment according to the software tool I use.

Eoin

Actually that is not true, there are plenty of articles on the internet regarding the swine flu and natural treatments.
What software tool do you use? On mine we have a page rank of 3. I don't take offense easily so no worries there.

whitewitchzita wrote:Actually that is not true, there are plenty of articles on the internet regarding the swine flu and natural treatments.

Yes, there are plenty of articles on the internet regarding the swine flu and natural treatments ...
but ...
You are number 1 in Google.ie, not Google.com and Google.ie gives preference to Irish Websites, and there are no other Irish based pages with the keywords "swine flu natural treatment" in Ireland .... so as I already said ... you have to show up first.

whitewitchzita wrote:What software tool do you use? On mine we have a page rank of 3.

I use a Firefox plugin

Sorry, you are correct, http://www.naturesnexus.org/ has a pagerank of 3, I was looking at the page you have in your first post, http://www.naturesnexus.org/market-place.html, which in unranked.

Eoin

weird, because I can find several articles from Ireland regarding Swine Flu and Natural Treatments.
These sites don't come up unless I select "pages from Ireland" in which case Nature's Nexus comes up first. I know that google.ie favours local sites but still and all I come up even if pages from Ireland are not selected and the others don't.

Nope, look closer please

You are the only site in Google.ie that has the word swine, plus the word flu, plus the word natural, plus the word treatments.

Since the phrase you are using is "swine flu and natural treatments" you have to come up first

whitewitchzita wrote:I know that google.ie favours local sites but still and all I come up even if pages from Ireland are not selected and the others don't.

You are in Ireland, so when you search in Ireland, Google.com will display local pages first ... regardless, with a mix of other pages.

I have software that allows me to search from different locations, and when searching from the UK, in Google.co.uk, uk sites come up first first.
When searching from the USA in Google .com, USA based sites come up first.

My proof will be the thread I started on "swine flu and natural treatments" in this forum.
If Google finds it, and it should as Google bot was here today, it will show up near your listing in a few days at most.

And that ends today's lesson, time fro me to get back to work.

Eoin

"And that ends today's lesson, time fro me to get back to work. " Not so fast!
If I type in
'Swine Flu Treatments', Nature's Nexus also comes up on the first page!! Along with other articles from Ireland. You can't say that I have the only Irish article on the internet that contains those 3 key words?

You can go back to work now.

Yes, but your keyword phrase is "swine flu and natural treatments", not 'Swine Flu Treatments'

You are the only site in Google.ie that has the word swine, .... plus the word flu, .... plus the word natural, .... plus the word treatments ........... in the correct places for SEO, for a non competitive keyword.

You do show up for "swine flu treatments", but not number 1 ... and for the same reasons ...
You are the one of a few sites in Google.ie that have the word swine, .... plus the word flu, .... plus the word treatments ........... in the correct places for SEO, for a non competitive keyword.

You could of been number one for that phrase too, as it's a non competitive keyword and looking at 1,2 & 3 will give you some hints as to why you were not.

Eoin

"Yes, but your keyword phrase is "swine flu and natural treatments", not 'Swine Flu Treatments' "
You make it sound like my key word phrase is set in stone!?!
I was just using it as an example, if I type in those words. Then I brought it down to three actually very competitive words for today considering all the information that is on the internet regarding swine flu and treatments, "Swine Flu Treatment" to prove that Natures Nexus is still coming up on the home page.
I don't really get your point except to prove that you know than I do about SEO.
But while you probably know a fair bit about SEO seen as that is what you do, I'm not bad myself. For example I have a website http://www.whitewitch.ie that comes up first when the three very competitive keywords "natural beauty products" are entered into Google. It took a lot of work to achieve that, especially seen as the website is White Witch and the domain name was not relating to natural beauty products in any way, that always makes it more difficult.

These are very competitive words for today in Google.com ... NOT Google.ie

No, not at all, you started the conversation with.

whitewitchzita wrote:That is pretty good really considering all the information that is on the internet at present to do with the swine flu.

I disagreed, as this is not true in Google.ie at the moment.

Please type this into Google.ie, "swine flu natural treatment" include the "".
Select pages from Ireland and search.
None

That is my point, nothing else.

If you were not good at SEO, you would not have shown up at all

Eoin

I get your point.

Just putting the key words without the "" means that what comes up can be in the same sentence or not even in the same paragraph but always on the same page.

Good point! Thanks for taking the time.
