BIG NEWS!
Google Ranks James Ranka Music page #1!
The most important page within this site is called "THE Secret". It's ranked #1, page 1 in Google. THE Secret is a must read.
I paid $5,000 for my first indie music website in 2003.
For years, I wondered why my websites were not being seen in keyword searches that should have revealed an organic (free) listing in the 3 major search engines, Google, Bing and Yahoo. I waited and waited for my beautiful music website to appear, and it NEVER did.
Sound familiar?
Totally frustrated, I invested $1,000s in books, videos and online training learning how to beat the search engine ranking odds and I quickly discovered I was completely in the dark when it came to the business of how search engines rank websites. (BTW, most indie musicians lack this secret as well.)
I quickly discovered my website contained a TOTAL absence of 3 little words that will make or break ANY music website marketing efforts. The term is Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is James Ranka's Music's specialty and is the most overlooked arsenal in the indie music marketing ranking battle for top spots.
- SEO is a process of researching keywords and keyphrases
- Discovering right niches for your pages
- Creating winning meta tags
- Researching page keyword richness and percentages... so much more!

My SEO study began 6 years ago, and I am now consistently getting indie music and corporate websites ranked highly and quickly.
Listen closely, if your website is not getting traffic, there are reasons... and they all revolve around SEO, or the lack thereof!
SEO is a combination of science and art and is the one item most indie musicians totally ignore. Think about it, you spend thousands of dollars on an interactive site, chock full of beautiful images and flash animation. And you know what? Your site is never seen. In fact, without proper SEO content, your investment would have been better served with a new DAW, or a new instrument.
"PROPER SEO IS A NECCESSITY FOR SUCCESSFUL MUSIC WEBSITE MARKETING AND I HAVE THE NUMBERS TO PROVE IT!"
Take the advice of one who knows. As an indie artist, you should spend more money on an expert SEO copywriter, like myself, than you spend on website design. YES! You read correctly... design and your site's appearance is key, but doesn't it make sense to you that if your website can't be found in Google, Bing or Yahoo, the most beautiful site in the universe is useless?
