==One amazing example==

Here's an example we've noticed in December 2006:
The Church's listing on Centiare was authored only as recently as [[December 9]], [[2006]]. We noticed that the Centiare listing had jumped to #1 or #2 for the Google search results above, as soon as [[January 4]], [[2007]] -- less than one month for the '''Power of Centiare''' to impact the Church's SEO. Note, also, that the Church's own website comes up much lower in the search results.

Additional proof of these search engine optimization (SEO) results can be found by trying these search queries at Google:
* [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%E2%80%9Cheating+oil%E2%80%9D+Hunterdon+Somerset+NJ+&btnG=Google+Search “heating oil” Hunterdon Somerset NJ] -- -- A Centiare listing ranks #2 out of 448 results
* [http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&q=Littleton+graphics+stationery Littleton graphics stationery] -- -- A Centiare listing ranks #1 out of 25,600 results
* [http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&q=%E2%80%9Clargest+commercial+printers%E2%80%9D+Orlando+Florida “largest commercial printers” Orlando Florida] -- -- A Centiare listing ranks #2 out of 62 results
* [http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&q=Florida+stone+crab+scientific+video Florida stone crab scientific video] -- -- A Centiare listing ranks #1 out of 121,000 results
The “stone crab” article in Centiare took its author about 10 minutes to create, and it now comes up first out of 121,000 Google search results. Imagine what careful, dedicated authors of encyclopedic content on Centiare could achieve.
