Montreal SEO Company
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
So you’re searching for a Montreal SEO Company (or any city in North America).
Have you realized yet, that almost every website designer, webmaster, or traditional marketer ‘says’ they can do your SEO (search engine optimization) for you… but really they don’t have a clue.
Do your homework when researching a Montreal SEO company.
Please do NOT shop around based on price, base your decision on a tangible return on investment (ROI). As I stated in many articles and conversations, if your SEO Company canNOT prove a ROI then let them RIP (enough acronyms for ya).
Of course you may find two or more Montreal SEO Companies that provide a ROI, what do you do then?
If you’re not a techie or marketing person, here are some questions to figure out the best Montreal SEO Company to go with.
5 THINGS TO ASK YOUR PROSPECTIVE MONTREAL SEO COMPANY
1. “Does your company do any other form of marketing other than SEO?”
If yes, then just say “no” to this so called SEO expert because they are amateurs. They be using ‘old’ 2003 SEO techniques that may get you poor rankings or a low ROI if any.
2. “What type of techniques do you use to achieve rankings?”
If they do disclose what techniques they are going to use, they ought to GO BEYOND JUST directory submissions and MetaTags. If they reply with a “It’s easy, we’ll change your MetaTags”, move on to the next Montreal SEO Company.
FYI, the old “submitting to 200 search engines” is a scam because search engines will find your site, so long as a website that is already indexed by the search engines is linked to your website. Furthermore, only three search engines really matter: Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
If they reply it’s a “secret” or “confidential”, then they don’t know what they talking about or they could be using “black hat SEO”, which could get you banned from the search engines…
3. “What type of risk is involved with this method?”
If the Montreal SEO Company uses “White Hat SEO”, then their SEO techniques are based on ethical SEO principles, which provide minimal risk of your website getting banned by the search engines.
If they use “Black Hat SEO”, and are trying to cheat the search engines with ‘tricks’, then let them RIP because your website could get banned and is less likely to be reinstated.
4. “What will happen if our relationship is dissolved?”
The truth is most SEO companies’ results will take 4 to 7 months before you’ve got a clear ROI.
But what if some reason you think they are NOT working hard enough or you do NOT like them. How do you exit without getting screwed?
Ensure in your contract a “termination” clause, which states all SEO work done up to that point “stays as is”.
5. “Can you show me example a client’s ROI?”
A good Montreal SEO Company will provide you with a tangible ROI for your website or use a previous company’s website via a ROI case study,
Look for a good return on investment, and a company that understands business, marketing, technology, and the internet extensively because they will be able to generate more sales and leads.
At this point, there are A LOT of different levels of Montreal SEO Companies out there. The biggest companies AREN’T ALWAYS the best bang for the buck, but there is much less risk associated with your investment. I hope you research and find a Montreal SEO company that you are comfortable with, which provides you with an amazing ROI.
How SEO Web Design Impacts Search Engines
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
An SEO web design is a concept for a site which uses great architectural design principles based on the Internet. The design should be able give out the information that the user is seeking and at the same time be easily navigable. This is part of search engine optimization because the SEO web design should also be able to satisfy robotic crawlers and spiders in their quest for information regarding the website and other data.
SEO Web Design and Site Optimization
Search engine optimization is more than just a trend nowadays. It is used and applied by almost all sites on the internet that aims to make money and become well known. Among the many strategies of optimizing a web site, SEO web design is one of the topmost priorities.
The impact of the design of the site on search engine robotic crawlers or spiders can help raise the ranking of the site. This is where SEO web design comes in. There are many ways to make the web site more attractive to robotic visitors and human visitors alike. Actually, spiders and crawlers from search engines do not mind the over all aesthetic value of the site. All these robotic crawlers need is the information it can get from the site. The tricky part is how to put relevant information in the site in order for the crawlers to properly index the site due to its relevance. SEO companies who specialize in optimizing web sites must also know how to put a site in front of others in order to bring it to the attention of the Internet users. The search optimizers who will handle your site must be able to know the right strategies to place the web site ahead of others in its field through accepted methods of optimization.
SEO web design is a competitive area where website architects work hard to come up with ideas and designs that are aesthetically appealing and relevant at the same time. There has to be consideration for ease of getting around the website, being appealing to a wide range of visitors and finding the right place for the website. Making a visually appealing site is easy with the many technologic advances available today, the problem with these advances are that they are sometimes quite tricky to use thus making your website difficult to navigate in. SEO web design should be easy to use and friendly to both human and robotic browsers.
Easy navigational access can be done by making the pages of the site easy to navigate to and having easy to understand and use button or labels to click on. The pictures and images on your SEO web design should be just the right size and scale to enable users to see them promptly after clicking instead of taking a very long time to download. Waiting for images and other graphics to load can be off putting for most visitors and will eventually lead them to another site which is more optimized and easy to view. Even robotic spiders and crawlers will give up on a site which is not easy to navigate and get into.
The overall appeal of the SEO web design should not only be focused mainly on the niche that it is targeted on but also for Internet users who might have stumbled onto the site. SEO web design should have a universal appeal even for the most specialized type of sites on the Internet. Some webmasters or website owners could opt for specialized SEO web designs and these can also be done with the targeted audience in mind. It will also benefit the site if it is indexed as it should be. You might want to have a specific SEO web design which is built around the entire concept of your site and this can add to the ranking if you are quite specific with what you aim to sell or market. If you are marketing a specific product or information, SEO experts can focus on this product or information and build the SEO web design around it.
Another aspect of SEO web design that needs to be considered is what your competition is doing. The saying, ‘know your enemy’ is the key here. You do not want to have the same boring marketing strategies as the competition. Why? Because it is a good idea to keep abreast with what they are doing and how well they are doing in this field. There are many site optimization tools that can help analyze and determine what is needed for the site. Hence, in regard to SEO web design process, content is one of the prime needs and tools of making the site rank high during searches. Finding out or identifying the right keywords to integrate into the site can be crucial in making the site among the top ranking ones. Keyword search tools and having keyword rich content and titles can help to optimize a site efficiently.
SEO web design experts should also bear in mind that there are web strategies that may be unacceptable for search engines. Using these underhand or black hat tricks to perpetuate a site in rank can cause the search engines to ban the site and also the SEO web design company that did the search engine optimization work for it no matter how well the SEO web design is.

Keyword Tricks Each SEO Company Should Grasp
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
When it is really important to be viewed at their top ten result pages of search engine , importance of keyword phrase is vital for every SEO company. There is no limit to the number of keyword phrase, hence, it is not possible to take account of every possible keyword. But, SEO companies can take account of the popularity of keywords that can be considered as truly prospective. One the other side, a keyword which is not so popular but drives selective and right group of customers to a site should not to be taken lightly as well. So, use of keywords during search engine optimization depends upon different factors, different classes and quality. Before, you get baffled with when to give a keyword importance and when not, start taking following considerations.
Begin with fragmenting your prospective market in three divisions –
1. Geographical location of prospects – When your site offers area or region specific services, for example, real estate services, then your SEO company should suggest area specific keywords. Narrow down which type of people or people from which geographical location can make use of your services. Bringing traffic is not all, prospects must be interested in your site. Therefore, your SEO team should use name of locations your service is limited to in order to get potential leads.
2. Level of service expected by prospects – Your SEO company must know level and quality of products or services expected by your consumers from you. For this, discuss what type of customers you are looking for through SEO solutions. For instance, if you are delivering high priced and high quality email marketing services that are intended to cater to premium business class people only, let your SEO people use more specific keywords. Use ‘valuable email marketing’ instead of plain use of ‘email marketing’ to avoid unnecessary traffic of people seeking inexpensive service.
3. Position in purchase cycle – Tell your SEO company whether you want to be just the source of information of a product or a place to buy, or if you want to be a location for both type of service – in brief, discuss with SEO specialists about your position in a purchase process. Through right selection of keyword, your nature of service can be clarified. If you give information on real estate of Geogia, use ‘Georgia real estate info’, ‘ Georgia real estate news’ etc., but, if you want property buyers to view your site, keywords like ‘Georgia real estate agent’, ‘cheap Georgia real estate’ will bring you the right traffic you want. Discuss these three points with your SEO company to make them understand your nature of business and business objectives to help you get more leads than mere and insignificant traffic.

SEO ROI & the Conversion Rate Dilemma
November 16, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
What do legitimate search engine optimization firms charge? Like most things involving the Web, prices are all over the place but if the price is extremely low you can be assured that the quality of the service will match the price.
If you do a search for SEO pricing from reliable search engine firms you will find that although prices vary greatly fees of $2,500 per month on an annual contract ($30,000 per year) are not uncommon. Of course some firms will charge less and others will charge a great deal more depending on where they are located, the size and condition of your website, and exactly what services you want them to provide. Are SEO Costs Worth the Investment?
So what do you get for your $30k ante? Legitimate SEO companies will provide things like target market analysis, keyword analysis, content massaging, code modifications, link implementation strategy, and metric analysis.
And what happens when Google changes their algorithms? Well you guessed it. You have to ante-up again and the addiction continues. Search engine optimization has become the crack-cocaine of Web-based businesses.
Keep in mind search engine optimization’s main goal is to increase your visibility and ranking in search engines which assumes more traffic to your website; but the leap from visibility to traffic to sales conversion is higher than you think. The assumption that better search engine visibility and more traffic automatically generates more sales is faulty logic.
Even if increased search engine visibility produces more traffic to your site and even if your website contains genuine content; if the presentation of that content doesn’t engage the viewer quickly and if it doesn’t hold the visitor’s attention for two to three minutes with a compelling and even entertaining presentation, then your chances of converting that visitor to a customer are minimal. How Much New Traffic Is Needed to Pay for SEO?
Let’s say your search engine tactics actually work and they not only increase your search engine ranking but also drive tons of traffic to your site. With realistic conversion rates at about 2-3%, how much traffic do you have to bring in to actually pay for the SEO expertise.
Based on a $30K annual investment in SEO and a 20% Net Profit you must generate $150,000 in new sales just to pay the SEO fees. And at a 3% conversion rate and an average sale amount of $100 per transaction that translates into 50,000 unique new visitors per year to your site just to pay for your SEO strategy, and you still haven’t added one cent to your bottom line. You can do the math. SEO Investment Break-Even FormulaSEO Generated Unique Traffic Break-even = SEO Cost / Conversion Rate x Average Sale x Net Profit Percentage. Determining Your Conversion Rate
Every business has a different Average Sales Amount and generally speaking it is safe to assume the higher the Selling Price the lower the Conversion Rate. In order to figure out what your Conversion Rate is you have to do a little more calculation. Lets say a company brings in a total of $150,000 in Web-Sales and attracts 25,000 Unique Visitors per year and has an Average Sale Price of $395.95; their Conversion Rate would be 1.5%. What’s your Conversion Rate? Conversion Rate = [(Total Web Sales / Unique Web Traffic) / Average Sales Price] x 100
To test the formula, we can check the original example where we have a given Conversion Rate of 3% to see if we arrive at the same rate:
CR = [(150,000/50,000)/100] x 100]
Conversion Rate = 3%The Meaning of It All
After calculating your own numbers, different readers will come to different conclusions. People seem to be mesmerized by complex statistics and bean counter analysis but the hidden meaning behind all the number crunching and mathematical machinations seems clear: if you want to make more money from your website the trick is not where you appear on a search engine or even how many unique visitors you attract to your site, but rather how many of these visitors you convert into customers. If you have a marketing budget it should be spent on conversions; and conversions are not the primary concern of search engine optimization. What you really want is a strategy that will increase conversions. How Do You Increase Conversions
MarketingExperiments is a research group lead by Dr. Flint McGlaughlin that studies and analyzes these kinds of Web-related issues. In a recent study entitled “Optimizing Your Landing Pages”, they came up with a formula for determining conversion probability. Here’s the copyrighted MarketingExperiments formula: Conversion Probability = 4(Level of Motivational Matching) + 3(Clarity of the Value Proposition) + 2(Effectiveness of the Incentive – Level of Sales Friction) – 2(Conversion Process Anxiety).
I already have a headache, but here’s how they explain it in more digestible terms: “… the highest performing Landing Pages are those that match exactly the Motivation of the customer. After Motivation, the clarity with which you express the Value Proposition is the most important factor in determining whether a customer buys from you or not.”(c) Copyright 2007 MarketingExperiments, LLC, You can visit the MarketingExperiments website for more details on their research.
I prefer an even simpler approach to increasing conversions: feature a website presentation that resonates with the needs of a qualified audience and compels action by providing a solution to those needs. Repurpose that presentation in affordable and no cost venues that drives even more meaningful qualified traffic to your site. Easy to say but hard to do, or is it?
What you need to determine is exactly what needs your audience craves and how best to engage their attention long enough to deliver a story that positions your offering as the missing ingredient required to fulfill their desire and ambition. The Answer and The Future
The answer to delivering this kind of presentation on your website is video that features professional presenters delivering focused, well-crafted messages that motivate action and embed in your visitors’ memory. If done right, these videos will resonate with the emotional and psychological factors that trigger human desire and motivation. Like it or not, it is the future of Web-marketing.
Google, Yahoo and all the other search engines understand that the Web has become a far more sophisticated delivery platform than it used to be. Methods are in place to delivery not only video, audio, and multimedia, but also to index and tag it for relevance. For when all is said and done, search engines are in the relevance business. If they can’t deliver relevant, meaningful results they are out of business, and no search engine optimization trick, scheme or formula is going to stand in their way.
Those who truly understand the shifting momentum of this reality are already adapting to this new Web-video paradigm – the question is are you?

Should You Outsource Your SEO Professional Writing?
November 11, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Most Internet Marketers ponder the question on whether SEO can be effectively mastered on their own or if it is better to outsource to a SEO writing company. There is no clear answer to this statement; if you have a talent for writing SEO articles, then by all means, stick with what you know. Your results and the effectiveness of those articles is what counts. You can achieve really good results writing your own SEO content, but there are more people who fail writing their own search engine optimization copy than we have seen succeed. Statistics also show that SEO companies have a higher achievement rate when it comes to getting the most results from SEO copy; increase in traffic:
If you are considering doing your own SEO professional writing, there are a couple of things to consider; Since SEO takes time to achieve the results you want, you will need to have a great amount of time to dispose. Since most Internet marketers don’t have the time to run multiple websites, market online and create effective SEO articles, it would be more pliable for them to outsource the help.
Even if the Internet Marketer was able to finish a good SEO copy, they will have to keep up with the ever changing trends of SEO. Google likes to change their rules every couple of months, so you have to do the research in order to learn new keyword density and other rules.
Many would find this almost tedious to participate in monitoring campaign process, industry trends, products, stats and conversion rates, along with writing effective SEO articles. Most Internet marketers don’t have a problem outsourcing their SEO needs because they know the investment will be returned (with the write content company).
Writing an effective SEO copy does not just involve the article itself; but there are other elements involved such as; sales, IT, marketing, product/services and much more. Once all of this is incorporated, then the perfect SEO copy can be created.
The leader of your SEO project should also act as project manager, who are able to address of these departments into an effective article with substance and the ability to hook in a potential customer.
Who will be held accountable for the results?- I am sure you have heard of those SEO companies that never deliver on their promises. Finding a good content writing service offers many good incentives that benefit the client. How many revisions are included with each article? This is why it is good for clients to know the basics of SEO before jumping head first into outsourcing their article writing efforts. In conclusion, it is best to outsource your article writing efforts in order to get the best return for your efforts.

Reciprocal Links – Good for SEO & Google Ranking?
November 10, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Introduction – The link phenomenon
One of the important factors in ranking well on search engines such as Google is ensuring that you have a number of links pointing from other websites to your website. Website links can be a confusing thing, there are many terms used to describe them including one way links, reciprocal links, backlinks, inbound links but to explain what I’m talking about here – lets say you own ACME Shoe Sales, and you are on another website say www.great-aussie-footwear.com and you see a link that says “Visit ACME Shoe Sales” and you click on it – and it takes you to the ACME Shoe Sales, then this helps the ranking of ACME Footwear.
This type of link is called an “inbound link” to ACME, or confusingly, is sometimes referred to as a Backlink for the ACME website. These backlinks or inbound links tell Google that someone else thinks that your website is worth linking to. If lots of people think your website is important enough to create a link to, then this tells the search engines that your website must be important.
So how do you get these links to your website?
Well, there are many ways to do this including posting messages to forums with links to your website, listing your business in online directory websites, getting business partners to link to you, paying people for links (a risky practice these days), and “Reciprocal Links” where you agree to link to someone if they link to you. Many people still exchange links with others hoping that they will rocket to the top of the search results because “their cousin who’s an IT guy told them that was how to get ranked on Google”.
Reciprocal links – will they help?
The answer is yes and no. A few years ago, reciprocal linking alone would get you ranked well on the search engines. The problem was that everyone figured this out and so many professional SEO companies abused the practice and setup massive reciprocal linking programmes – have you ever got one of those spammy emails from people asking you to link to them if they link to you? The practice is still alive and well.Give the disproportionate number of links that various websites ended up obtaining by the practice, the search engine companies caught on that most of this was an artificial practice, and they started to discount the value of links pointing to websites where that website linked back to the linking partner.
So they wont help?
The answer is yes, and no. There are two benefits you get from a link from someone else’s website that points to your website.
* a) Referral benefit
* b) Ranking benefit
Referral Benefit
By this we’re talking about the fact that if someone is on the other website, and they come across your link and they click on it – well they arrive at your website. If the place they found your link was on a site that is somehow related to your business (if you sell shoes, they may have been on an othopaedics website, or an price comparison website showing differnt footwear available for purchase in your country) then they may well be interested in shoes and so this could be a valuable website visitor. If they found your link on an online gambling website and clicked on it by mistake – well clearly there is limited benefit you receive from their visit.So typically speaking, referral benefit is strong when the link comes from a related website that is not competetive in your field (if you sell pillows, think bedding websites, if you sell tyres, think car websites etc)
Ranking Benefit
Ranking benefit is what we discussed earlier where the search engines will recognise this link as a vote of your websites importance and give you weighting / ranking for this.
So back to Reciprocal Links – will they help?
The answer is yes and no….but this time, we’ll try to answer the question I promise! If a website owner approaches you who has a website that is related to your industry but not competetive to your business, and you think that people on their website may be the right sort of target audience who you’d like to have come to your website, then by all means exchange links with them. Forget about the search engine ranking issues – if this business attracts people who are the sort of people who would buy or deal with your organisation (ie same area, same interests, same product category) then having a link from their site to yours has enough inherent value to exchange links. Same applies to whether a link should go on your website. Are your visitors going to find it interesting? Will it add value to their experience of your website? If so – go for it.
If a website from an overseas website approaches you but you don’t sell to overseas customers, or if a website from an unrelated industry approaches you, then don’t exchange links in the hope they will deliver strong rankings. On the issue of ranking, there is still much debate in the SEO industry about whether any rank is achieved from exchanging links. My personal view based on our SEO experience is that a small number of link exchanges with high quality “authorititive” websites in your industry will help to some extent. Be careful though, as linking out to a range of useless link partners who have sites filled with thousands of spammy links could actually hurt your rankings. If the person asking you to exchange links fits this category don’t do it.

10 SEO Tips To Boost Your Organic Ranking
November 3, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Search engine optimisation is a term the experts use when they adjust different elements of your website to make it easier for the search engine spiders to find you, to improve the relative ranking of your website compared to other websites and as a result to boost the number of customers visiting your website.
Your organic ranking is your natural ranking on search engines. The higher you appear on search engine listings, the more people will visit your website.
While there are many hundreds of factors search engine optimisation (SEO) companies’ work with, here are the top 10 tips to boost your organic ranking.
1. Clean navigation.
Some of the most important factors in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) are clear navigation paths throughout your website. This serves two purposes:- you want your customers to be able to find what they are looking for using as few clicks as possible and you also want search engine spiders to be able to find their way to all of your pages. By making sure your website is easy and logical to navigate around, you will make it easier for search engines to find you (and all of your sub-pages).
2. Clear internal page links.
Unless each page is cleanly and logically linked to other pages within your website, you will reduce your rankings. If a page is not linked to any other page, generally the search engines will not be able to find it, index it and rank it. You also need to consider adding and submitting a site map to the major search engines to assist them index all of your pages.
3. High quality inbound links.
Links to your website from high quality (higher ranking) websites that are directly relevant to your site content is a great strategy to boost your rankings. Links from government and education sites are particularly useful strategies to boost your organic rankings when they are relevant to your content.
4. One theme.
Search engines try to determine what your website is about in order to rank it and to know for which search terms to show your website in the results. One way they do this is to work out what is the overall theme or topic of your website. You will get the best organic results if you have one clear overall theme or topic for your website rather than trying to cram in lots of totally different parts of your business under the one website banner.
5. One theme per page.
Each website page stands alone. The best rankings come from dedicating individual pages to a specific theme. For example: large fitting wedding shoes rather than just wedding accessories.
6. Use words instead of graphics of words.
If you are using a word as a heading or sub heading on your page, the temptation is to make it look beautiful by making it a graphic jpg or gif. This is costing you rankings. Search engines read words and not images. If your word is an image it will be invisible to the search engine. You also need to ensure any pictures you use in your website have ALT tags present to ensure people with visual disabilities can also read your website. These ALT tags can be read by the search engine spiders.
7. Headlines.
Following on from the previous point, at the top of the page you need to have a clear headline that describes the content of that page in a Heading tag. This headline needs to be keyword rich and located at the right place on the page for maximum results.
8. Keywords are critical.
Keywords are the words people type into a search engine to find you. You need to know the most common keywords people use to find sites such as yours and make sure these keywords are reflected in your web copy. Determining the correct keywords is an art form as well as a science.
9. Copy is king.
The words you use on your page are critical for search engine success. You need to ensure your keywords are naturally scattered throughout your page rather than artificially added to the end of sentences or standing alone in your text. You need to walk a fine balance between interesting and enticing copy for your reader and optimised copy for the search engines.
10. Don’t double up.
It is important to have fresh and different content on each page of your website. If you double up on the information you will cost yourself rankings.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) does not have to be difficult, it just needs to be worked at on a regular basis for maximum results.

Your organic ranking is your natural ranking on search engines. The higher you appear on search engine listings, the more people will visit your website. While there are many hundreds of factors search engine optimization (SEO) companies’ work with, here are the top 10 tips to boost your organic ranking.
Some of the most important factors in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) are clear navigation paths throughout your website. This serves two purposes:- you want your customers to be able to find what they are looking for using as few clicks as possible and you also want search engine spiders to be able to find their way to all of your pages. By making sure your website is easy and logical to navigate around, you will make it easier for search engines to find you (and all of your sub-pages).
Unless each page is cleanly and logically linked to other pages within your website, you will reduce your rankings. If a page is not linked to any other page, generally the search engines will not be able to find it, for more detail go to: www.greatseosecrets.com.index it and rank it. You also need to consider adding and submitting a site map to the major search engines to assist them indexes all of your pages.
Links to your website from high quality (higher ranking) websites that are directly relevant to your site content is a great strategy to boost your rankings. Links from government and education sites are particularly useful strategies to boost your organic rankings when they are relevant to your content.
Search engines try to determine what your website is about in order to rank it and to know for which search terms to show your website in the results. One way they do this is to work out what is the overall theme or topic of your website. You will get the best organic results if you have one clear overall theme or topic for your website rather than trying to cram in lots of totally different parts of your business under the one website banner.
Each website page stands alone. The best rankings come from dedicating individual pages to a specific theme. For example: large fitting wedding shoes rather than just wedding accessories.
If you are using a word as a heading or sub heading on your page, the temptation is to make it look beautiful by making it a graphic jpg or gif. This is costing you rankings. Search engines read words and not images. If your word is an image it will be invisible to the search engine. You also need to ensure any pictures you use in your website have ALT tags present to ensure people with visual disabilities can also read your website. These ALT tags can be read by the search engine spiders.
Following on from the previous point, at the top of the page you need to have a clear headline that describes the content of that page in a Heading tag. This headline needs to be keyword rich and located at the right place on the page for maximum results.
Keywords are the words people type into a search engine to find you. You need to know the most common keywords people use to find sites such as yours and make sure these keywords are reflected in your web copy. Determining the correct keywords is an art form as well as a science.
The words you use on your page are critical for search engine success. You need to ensure your keywords are naturally scattered throughout your page rather than artificially added to the end of sentences or standing alone in your text. You need to walk a fine balance between interesting and enticing copy for your reader and optimized copy for the search engines.
It is important to have fresh and different content on each page of your website. If you double up on the information you will cost yourself rankings.
