Ric, your site does rank. It is a very good website.

To highlight my point about the limited value of Alexia, have a look at Rics site. It has a terrible Alexia ranking, however it actually ranks number one in Google Australia's World Wide search for the terms "Strategies for Business Excellence" and "executive wisdom".

This looks like a site that has been quite well optimised, with a page rank of 3. I would say that compared to most small business operators Ric is a very active internet marketer. Far from lazy. You can see this by the 170 incoming links that he has generated to his website. He is also running an active blog.

Sorry to harp on, but all the Alexia ranking tells us is that none of his visitors have the Alexia tool bar. 90% of people don't and most of the people who do are programmers and web designers, not the majority of business owners that are Rics target market.

Sorry to use you as an example Ric, hope you don't mind :-)
