Basics of Search Engine Page Ranking

That said there is so much too getting a good ranking I could easily write a thousand page book, but here's the condensed version.

• As many backlinks as possible from high authority sites as possible,
• High quality; keyword rich content on your site which is updated often with keywords ‘emphasised’ in bold, italics or made into links.
• A favourable domain name (keyword)
• Favourable page title (keyword)
• SOE optimized page code (HTML), meta tags, locality tags, page descriptors
• Submit page and sitemap to google
• Submit your site to social bookmarking sites,
• Write high quality articles for article sites
• Submit press releases and Squidoo pages
• Submit site to search engine friendly directories

Depending on your targeted niche or topic you could need 70 to 150 quality backlinks to get on the first page of a Google search, also if you have a blog its best if you concentrate each post on single keyword. Use social bookmarking sites to create backlinks to your sites, but be selective, the best strategy is to initially submit to the top 4 or 5 bookmarking sites at first, more is not necessary better.

The aim of the game is a good mix of high quality backlinks adding numbers over time! If you create a large number of backlinks at one location the Google crawlers will get suspicious and you run the very real risk of being the victim of a Google slap which means Google will dump your page to the bottom of the pile, it pays to be patient!

Well good luck and I will post some more top tips for ranking on Google real soon.
