    Not quite so easy.

    It took me 2 decades to learn SEO and, really, "learn" is misleading: since the SEO game changes with such rapidity, only a rare few, we're talking constant practitioners, can really develop even close to a complete mastery. Truth be told, SEO just isn't the B all and end all that it used to be. And with only so many hours in the day, I devote myself according to where that time is best spent (some of which is indeed on SEO).

    I'd recommend taking part on this forum: SEO on WF. A fantastic resource for a complete beginner and we have a ton of knowledgeable folks who are generally only too happy to help those in need.

    Cheers! - Tom

    The very first thing you can do is embrace realistic expectations about what a newbie can expect from his/her marketing efforts in relation to the search engines.

    Always appearing on the first page of Google SERPs is unrealistic.

    There is a SEO section of the Warrior Forum where this thread belongs: Warrior Forum Search Engine Optimization.

    For a start, there is no software that will rank your site. Software just help with the process that you need to follow to help rank your site.

    Secondly Only Google knows what it uses to rank a site.However, they are also giving out the basics you can use to rank your site like optimizing your content, building natural links etc. But there is no Guarantee that by following all that your content will automatically bust to the first page. In most cases it does but again that takes a long time.

    Are you prepared to take that chance of waiting and relying on Google for traffic when you can put that same amount of effort and start getting traffic almost immediately with strategies like

    Taking action on targeted niche forums
    posting comments
    posting videos
    Sharing content on your targeted niche on social sites etc.

    This depends on you keywords and competition. However, it's very unlikely that you'd be able to do something like this if you think there's an app for that.

    You didn't tell us your keyword, so we can't really help to evaluate that. But you can use the Google search and see for yourself. What kind of sites take the first ten spots? Have they been running for a decade and are authorities in the niche? If your keyword is easy enough ("long tail") you may actually have a fair change.

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    unfortunately there is no quick solution. You can possibly rank#1 for a "self made" keyword. You say: I want to rank for Dentist Salt Lake City, Utah 32478.

    Its very possible to rank for a keyword like that and make you look good, lolz. look into that. for instance, the same dentist could have a brand: Utah Clean Dentistry LLC, you might be able to rank easily for a page optimized for "Utah Clean Dentistry LLC 32478".

    either or, if your new to internet marketing, your in the best place. I would suggest you keep reading and watch videos online to see how people gain results.

    Eventually you will learn that SEO is overwhelmingly fascinating, and that its the fundamentals of web competition, however in terms of satiety you are better off looking for something more instant, like PPC marketing, affiliate marketing, or even telemarketing, or mobile marketing at that.

    Thanks to all for your valuable contributions. Unfortunate, no one has answered my question or perhaps, I did put my question rightly.

    Here is it.. if I make a search on Google.com.ng using a certain keyword the search result usually show my website at the first page of Google.com.ng. If I make same search with the same keyword directly on Google.com, my website does not appear at the first page. What can I do to correct that?
