Are there any successful seasoned internet marketers that can tell me tips to getting to the #1 spot of a search engine. I know it can be a while but any tips would be appreciated. Other than going after long tail keywords, low competition keywords. I'm looking for a strategy to get to #1 google.

    If we had that secret #1 ranking sauce, we'd all be rich. Best advice I can give you, is don't put all your eggs in the Google basket, they can and will come back and bite you in the ass.

    I agree with Alex, don't pin all your online hopes on Google because they often times make changes that wipe entire businesses out overnight. Make sure you also get good at paid traffic techniques so you don't have to depend on a #1 ranking.

    Attaining a #1 spot in Google for very competitive keywords/niches can take a very long time which is why most of the guru's will tell new marketers to go after the long tail. If you really know your niche and can post very timely and quality information then you may be able to break into a non-long tail niche. Be warned, however, that it will take a lot of work and even then it will take a long time. If you're new to IM and are bent on going after SEO/Google then go after the long tail keywords.

    It takes a lot of work and money. Even then nothing is a guarantee when it comes to SEO. I would instead spend that same time and money mastering paid advertising. It's much more reliable and much more scalable.
