Search engines like Google have the tool known as page rank under which websites are ranked from one to ten depending upon the site's popularity and other characteristics. The higher ranked websites gets the more hits than the low ranked site. For example, there would be difference of thousands of visitors between the sites having ranked four and the site which is ranked five by the search engine. The site which is not visible on the initial result pages of the search engines could lose its potential customers to competitors.
