    There are so many strategies can be adopted. you should do comment postings on forums and on different sites with the keyword and with the site page you have assumed to be ranked up.

    Google has its own algorithms for website rankings,for getting high ranking on Google you should do the following

    Here is the list of important Google SEO ranking factors to consider:

    1. Age of Domain: Age of URL is very important. If you just bought your domain a few weeks or even months ago you have a long road ahead of you. If your website has been online for several years, chances are you have an established business.

    2.Domain Hosting:
    Where is your site hosted? Find out through your hosting company what continent or country your site is hosted in. This can often times play a large role in search rankings. Always use a reputable hosting company.

    3.URL Structure:
    Make sure your URL structures are very clean. There should not be any random strings of characters at the end of your URL’s. This is part of the onsite search engine optimization process as well.

    4.Content: Content is very important. To start make sure you have text on all your important pages, then make sure it is good text consisting of your targeted keywords spread throughout naturally.

    5. Internal Link Structure: Make sure your inner pages are linked correctly. Visitors should have easy made pathways connecting to your other pages from every page of your website.

    6.Keywords: Make sure your website is optimized using your keywords. This means any alt tags for images, meta page information and existing content at the very least of things.

    7.Outbound links: Make sure the websites that you link to are 100% relevant to your business and industry. If you sell animals toys but you are linking to a site that sells shoes that is not very relevant and over time could really impact your rankings.

    8.Inbound Links:
    I know this was a list of my top 10, but I felt I had to mention inbound links. The key here (speaking as a white hat SEO person), don’t buy or exchange links. Market and promote your business online to build visitors to your website over time. If you do, then the relevant links will follow!

    Google has a different way of ranking a website. Unlike Yahoo and Bing, There are different factors that need to be considered in order to rank in Google.

    Google is using a ranking algorithm completely different the ones powering Yahoo and Bing. They still are sometimes known as favoring websites with strong on page scores and optimization items while Google likes websites which are powered by backlinks and at the same time contents. Your website might also be in a filter called Sandbox.

    It is like a hidden and invisible filter which blocks websites from getting top ranks very quickly. Your websites need to gain trust and ranks gradually, in the course of time and you can facilitate the process by providing contents for your readers or visitors and building strong one way links for your site, coming from authority sources.

    Keep building links. Bing and Yahoo are stupid. Some sites in Google was ranked first page in the past but dropped ranking to second, Yahoo and bing still gives the site first page ranking.

    Yahoo and Bing I think do not index sites frequently like Google or recalculate their ranking algorithm often than Google so just keep building quality links and you will be there.

      I would suggest just using the Google Adwords Keyword Tool... Searches are searches are searches... What's being searched for in Google is being searched for in Bing and Yahoo!

      Just cut the search numbers in half!! Well, probably not that much, but their search volume is SUBSTANTIALLY less than Google's...!

      CHEERS!

      Considering I have many 1st ranking sites in Yahoo, the traffic that yahoo and Bing sends to me compared to Google I would not waste my time and only focus on Google.
      The rest will eventually rank your site.

    Your site is most likely sandboxed by Google. I had sites like that before when I would rank #1-2 on Yahoo/Bing but rank like page 30 in Google. It comes up later on.

      I completely agree. I have 1, 2, 3 spot rankings in Yahoo!/Bing for terms that rank 2,3,4,5 in Google and the traffic of both Yahoo! and Bing combined for these terms doesn't equal the Google traffic.

      I've found that Yahoo! Bing are quick to rank then drop ya a$$!! LOL!

      That's a bold conclusion for how little info was actually given. His sites are young - first of all. We don't know how competitive his niches are, we don't even know if he's been doing a good job on his On- and Off-site SEO.

      I've found that for younger sites in Google, they have a tendency to dance around A LOT and fall off the map and come back if you're aggressively building backlinks. Then after a period of not building backlinks the sites start to fall into place and come back to life.

      Check your Google webmaster tools (make sure sitemap is submitted) and look at crawl errors and malware... Google doesn't like that sh*t. Also, if you feel your site does not deserve to be where it is at, then submit a Site Reconsideration request. I have before and they actually work.

      CHEERS!

      P.s. The Sandbox is a joke. If you get that penalty you're doing something MAJORLY wrong that Google doesn't like - maybe sh*t code is hidden in your HTML/CSS/PHP script somewhere?!
