With a lot of my potential clients, the first words out of their mouth when building a site is “Can you make my site #1 on Google?” This question is extremely annoying to me… how can I respond in a professional and honest manner?

Interesting, but how to deal with a client that tells you: "My competitor from my hometown is first when you write the word -plumbing- how can I be the first?"
Excellent, concise and useful explanation from "the horse's mouth". I am going to post this on my blog, as it is a common question I get from clients.
how can i show the client that there has been an improvement their website rankings without they keeping track of it themselves.

thanks for the link to Google SEO tips
this video will be a very big help for me on explaining it to my superiors as well :)) — now they can all believe that even Google says that no search engine optimizer can guarantee a client #1 position, especially to super annoying clients that wants to rank #1 on all their targeted keywords yet have lame, poorly-structured website/s. thanks for the vid!
I get asked this a lot too.
What does google think about Cufon text, does it hurt SEO?
extremely useful video !!!!
perfect!
When I hear this question, I usually answer: "Yes, I can. But what for?" So, your's is a good explanation at hand that perfectly explains that being #1 for "kroklowafzi semememi" (a german fun poem of Christian Morgenstern, not fictive) or common terms like "XP not booting" is pretty much of a difference. And being in the top 10 for about hundred related queries – single term too – is almost impossible. Why? Customers don't believe the worm has to taste the fish, not the fisher.
Thanks again you guys! I can simply play this video for my clients, instead of having them wait to ask me!
