It turns out that it is getting much harder to achieve a top ranking in the Internet search engines. Some of the reasons why are discussed below.
More Web Sites
The number of web sites being added to the Internet is increasing at an enormous rate. All of these new web sites are being added by the major search engines, which in turn adds that many more web sites for you to compete with in the search engines. A few years ago, a specific keyword search may have produced 50,000 matches in a typical search engine. Now that same keyword search term may return 250,000 matches. So just by the shear volume of web sites being added to the search engine, it has become that much harder for your site to rank in the top of the search results.
More Web Content
In the past, search engines could not read much of the content on the Internet that was dynamically generated, such as database driven web sites. But now search engines are getting smarter, and are able to read such dynamic content. This means that the search engines will read massive amounts of new information from these dynamic web pages, which they previously could not read. As above, all this new information will compete with the information on your web site in the search engines. So, again, it will be much tougher to get your site to the top of the rankings.
More SEO Companies
Years ago, only a small percentage of web sites took search engine optimization seriously and truly optimized their sites for the search engines. So, if you knew what you were doing, you had a pretty good chance of getting ranked very well in the search engines. However, today the story is different. There are thousands of companies that specialize in SEO, and a large percentage of web sites do now optimize their sites for the search engines. The result is that you are now competing with many more qualified web sites than in the past.
Conclusion
The growth of the number of web sites, the new content being added to the search engines, and more SEO optimized sites has made search engine optimization a much more difficult task than in the past.
