top search engine placement

[from an email to a client]

curious, i googled my internet nickname. i do this
every few months.

the response this time was fascinating. the order in
which sites were returned should illustrate my point
about using other sites to drive traffic to your own
site.

1. NICKNAME.com (google looks first to see if there's
a domain that has the search phrase you typed in)

2. youtube.com..... (a link to my youtube profile,
which links to my business website)

3. yahoo.com.... (a link to my yahoo answers profile
which links to my business site)

4. myspace.com.... (a link to my myspace profile which
links to my business site)

after that it goes into more yahoo answers (every
question i have answered is indexed!). beyond that are
various forums that i have posted on.

since these "TOP" sites are linking to my business
website, it's going to help my ranking when someone
types in something like "girl web design" (1st page)
or "reno marketing consultation" (1st page) or "reno
web maintenance" (1st!).
