Basically you want to concentrate on your SEO, on page and off. Contribute to your site with good quality content and then add quality diverse backlinks.

Just remember if it is a new site, it will most likely take 2-3 months to rank well for your primary keyword you are targeting, assuming you have done the other steps efficiently and correctly.

There is plenty of good information located on this forum, just search SEO and backlinking techniques.

Yes link building is the way to go.
Also bear in mind, QUALITY LINKS all the time...spammy links like comments or profile links wouldn't do you any good

hey,
If you target a particular keyword which is user friendly and perform proper SEO techniques to promote it then that keyword will show high rankings in about a month.

rsplajit,

Yes linkbuilding is an important aspect of ranking a website high in google. But also consider things such as ON page seo (try to have 2000 words on your home page with dropping your keyword in a few times.) Have your title, url and description optimized. Also, high PR services and the such like build my rank and authority link network and others work very well.

Hope that helps!

I would focus on getting high PR backlinks. This seems to work well for me rather than going after thousands of low quality ones. When it comes to backlinks, quality always beats quantity.

Yes, linkbuilding is an essential part of improving your site's SEO. You should definitely research exactly what goes into making a site rank higher in Google through SEO as it is definitely not as simple as just building links. Hope this helps!
