Ted my point is that an online brand is going to beat out a brick and mortar brand. Most brick and mortar brands feel like they are supposed to put up a website so they do. A web brand is all about being online. Very few Brick and Mortar companies care about seo that much. I mean Nike hired one of the biggest names in SEO but obviously did not put much priority in the term shoes because I know that person could have got it for them. If you build a real online company and put priority on SEO you will beat out anybody even a company 100 times bigger than you. Now if you have an affiliate site it is going to be real hard.

Most people that complain about ranking have trash websites. People think they can sell stuff out of the back of a truck and compete with a big box store.
