Some Sierra Madre News Net Search Engine Results
Sierra Madre News Net has worked very hard to ensure that we rank near the top with the major search engines.  Below are tables which reflect the results of a recent search on five top search engines using different criteria.  We are proud to say that we scored in the top ten on almost every search we ran.   And since Google now powers the Search Engines for AOL and Earthlink, our outstanding results on Google ensure users of these ISPs can find the News Net site.....Shouldn't your business take advantage of our visibility?

When people are searching for Sierra Madre, they are finding the News Net.  Why not use a page on the News Net as a "gateway" to your existing site?  Could your business website benefit from traffic attracted by our positive search result placement?  Call us today and get a web page on our site. 

The searches were conducted on July 10, 2008.   We reviewed the top twenty responses to the following criteria, and were quite pleased in almost every case.  A Sierra Madre News Net web page, or one of our associated pages ( mtwilsontrailrace.com, sierramadre4thofjuly.us, and sierramadrewistariafestival.com) was located in the following positions when we entered the criteria in the search engine.  We did not include our sister website, SanGabrielValleyMenus.com results, but in many dining searches, SGVMenus.com was ranked at the top of the search results, as well.  BTW, it appears Lycos and Alta Vista are powered by the same search engine, based on the results.

Scroll further down the page and you'll see search results from May 21 and May 22, 2003.  As you can see, we've remained at the top of the search engines for five years now.  FYI - Pioneer Days was removed from the 2008 list because it is basically defunct.
