How do you get your rank up in Google™ ??

I've read a blog that talks about the basics of SEO but I'm not really sure If I understood it correctly so I need the experts here to enlighten me on this.

//ecommercehacker.wordpress.com/2009/10/13/the-basics-of-seo-for-affiliate-website/

the blog discusses some important points namely:

1.) Planning the Keywords carefully
2.) Generate Keywords
3.) Research Keywords

How do you get your rank improved in Google™ ? Is there an easy shortcut ?

Thanks!

Yes, those are important. Besides the keyword research and on site optimization
a large part of it has to do with getting backlinks.

Use the search function on the forum and you will find a lot of threads on that and WSO's that are specifically about outsourceng backlinks.

Your site won't usually do very well unless you get these backlinks.

Also, something that is wildly underestimated among the SEO "laymen"--internal link building. Brad from Stompernet had his website cemented at the top for some very competitive search phrases through the internal link building, and most SEO agents know that if you have the time to invest, internal link building is one of the most powerful SEO tools around.

  I use the All-in-one SEO Wordpress plugin and that seems to have helped a lot. I have a niche site that is ranked #1 for its main keyword. It's ranked on page one for several other keywords. I only have 173 backlinks. I've only published two ezine articles. I think the main thing has been the SEO plugin and original content. Seriously, I think original content is the deal maker.

First thing to do is to determine how you want to make money online. Whatever the product, service or market you want to use you then create great content surrounding it. thats where the keywords come in.

Using Google's keyword tools you can figure out how people search in search engines for your chosen product, service or market. Along with your content you want to have backlinks to your site that stand out as recommendations of your site. Many of those links should includ a link using the keywords you discovered that people use to search for your product service or market. Like this

Warrior Forums

Those stands as recommendations for your site when someone is searching using those keywords. Theres a whole lot more and that might be simplistic to some but thats where you start - Content and backlinks.

The basic of it is to fave the on-site SEO factors setup on your page. This is stuff like meta-tags and site decription. Then the rest i buidling backlinks, getting sites to link to you in layman's terms.

One of the simplest ways is to find low competition relevant keywords, use those keywords in your page titles and on your pages, and create one way inbound links using your same keywords as anchor text.

I created a site in February that I was using to test SocialBot and RSSBot. It was a short test, and I haven't done anything with the site, or created any links in months, but it's still #4 in Google for the primary keywords. The ranking in Google is all based on text links, primarily from social bookmarking.

  If that were true, I wouldn't be ranked at all. I've done some social bookmarking, but not a ton.

  Note that I read John Rogers was saying:
  
  (1) his ranking is based entirely on having backlinks with the correct anchor text; and
  (2) his backlinks have been based on socialbookmarking (although the backlinks could have been from other sites to get a good placement as well).
  
  Whereas I think you read his post as saying:
  
  (1) his ranking is based entirely on having social bookmarks.
  
  Note the difference.
  
  In definitely helps alot if you can get get your exact keyword phrase in your domain name (not on a page, in the actual domain). I've been able to rank pretty quickly with very little backlinking.
  
  That being said, for competitive words/searches, building backlinks with keyword anchor text is the battle you have to win. I'm not talking getting 500 links from link farms from places like white label associates.
  
  Thanks

I suggest you find keywords based about what you are already an expert on, who cares what the competition is because you can always kick the competition down.

You can use the following:

* Web 2.0 Sites
* Bookmarking Sites
* Installing a 2nd Blog on Your Site
* Submitting Rss Feeds
* Doing SEO on Page
* Bookmarking Your Bookmarks
* Bookmarking Your Blog Post
* Submitting Properly Written SEO'ed Articles

Build most backlinks to your site, but you can also bookmark your articles and interlink them if you choose.

There is a great deal more than can be done but I think you should learn the basics first ...

John's right. Keyword selection is the key. That and backlinks. SO many marketers do themselves a huge disservice by not really digging in and learning all they can about proper keyword research. If you start off on the right footing there, everything else is SO MUCH EASIER!

SEO has SO many factors that you can probably get some good advice on this forum but it's going to require some extensive research. If you have a website up at the moment, you may want to check out websitegrader.com and get some tips directed to your site or just google 'website seo score' and see what else is out there. It's kind of hard to imagine what could be graded, but Google factors over 100 things when deciding how relevant a site is for a keyword... and while people have a pretty idea what a lot of those things are, nobody (aside from Google) can tell you everything factually.

I know this isn't overly helpful, but seriously.. SEO is a HUGE topic.
