Hey myfirstwebsite,

Alexa is a site that provides website traffic ranking data. They estimate that there are roughly 56 million sites on the web and assigns a traffic rank to websites.

So if your traffic rank is 10,000 that means there are only 9,999 sites that get more traffic than you on the web. You'd be in the top 1%. So the lower your number the better.

SBI!'s claim to fame is that over 60% of their customers have sites that rank in the top 3% in terms of Internet traffic. And I'd like to point out there are no tricks that SBI! uses to help customers rank high, they just teach the basic principles of building search engine friendly websites, and as a result their customers tend to have higher trafficked sites.

If you think about it, there is no other web host (not GoDaddy, not anyone) who can claim over 60% of their customers get that kind of traffic. That's because other hosts don't help with search engine optimization. They just give you the space to build your site and you're on your own.

But I want to make it clear that SBI! is not some automatic guarantee to the top of the search engines, BUT it arms you with the knowledge and help so you structure your pages in a way that the search engines favor.
