Hey Rachel,
As a non-believer of search engines, I find it as a waste of time. And I know some people will want to grab me by the throat for saying that, but really. It's ridiculous. You have about a BILLION web sites (literally) on the Internet and yet we're suppose to get #1 ranking or even be listed on the first 5 PAGES!
Who has the time for it? Certainly not me. Do you? I didn't make money through the search engines. I never have, never will and will never mind it. Heck, my first successful online business was accomplished with JUST traffic exchanges.
Here's a good example. I do a search for "computer income" on Google and received over 85 million listings/websites. It's the name of your domain, you would think yours will come up first... no. In fact, your BLOG showed up as listing number 3... not your web site, your blog.
Alright, I stopped looking after page 5 of the search results. Only people who do research go past page 3. If someone is looking for something in particular, they go no further than page 2. Tell me the truth, do you? Anyone else? No, didn't think so.
Just my 1/2 a cent of course.
I'm not saying not to use it at all. I use it just so people could find me in case they forgot how to spell "networkersdebut.com."
