There's hope for the 'little guys' in the 
search engine ranking game, even if they 
can't tell the difference between the title 
and keyword meta tag! 

You can achieve high rankings for important 
keywords simply by applying certain rules 
that stand the test of time and even 
technology...and the number one rule is 
really to... 

...Help the search engines provide relevant 
search results! 

How do you do this? I'll reveal the 
'secrets' soon. 

While I'm far from being an SEO (Search 
Engine Optimization) expert and am just 
sharing experiences here, I've achieved 
some phenomenal results by following these 
basic rules and without resorting to 
'tricks'. Importantly, these are rankings 
that last.

I'm not suggesting you shouldn't learn 
about SEO or use genuine software that 
helps, in fact you should.

For example (at this time of writing), here 
are my rankings for 
http://www.Marketing-Make-Money.com in 
Yahoo alone (remember these are extremely 
competitive keywords): 

'Make money online' | rank: #1 of 33.9

How did I achieve such incredible rankings 
without being some SEO guru or even 
obsessively optimizing my site? 

Recall the number one rule? It's to help 
the search engines provide relevant search 
results. 

Now I honestly believe there are only two 
MAIN things which support this rule and in 
the process, reward your website with the 
high rankings you desire. 

These two things are Keyword Rich Content 
and Targeted Back Links which we'll talk 
about later... 

Here then are 7 powerful secrets you can 
use to model your website after to explode 
your high search engine rankings! 

Step 1: Determine Highly Searched Keywords 

Determine highly searched and targeted 
keywords/keyword phrases related to your 
site and put them into a list. Here're the 
tools to use: 

http://instantmarketingsecrets.com/keyword.htm : compares results of keyword searches 
from Overture and Wordtracker and displays 
them side by side. 

http://smtek.info/cgi-bin/keywordtool.cgi : 
allows you to find relevant hot keywords 
with a single click...very cool very useful. 

http://www.goodkeywords.com : excellent 
software to find targeted keywords in 
Overture and various other engines. 

Step 2: Register Keyword Rich Domain Names 

While there've been contrasting arguments 
about whether having keywords in your 
domain helps, I strongly feel it does. The 
same goes for dashes between words in the 
domain. 

Use these to source for domain name ideas:

You can also register your domains for 
peanuts per year here:

Step 3: Use Your Targeted Keywords In Your Copy 

Use the list of keywords in step 1 within 
your website copy, especially in the title, 
headline and first paragraph. The important 
thing is to make them flow smoothly within 
the context of the copy so prospects will 
not find it weird. 

Step 4: Insert Keyword Rich Relevant Content 

Next, build up your site's content with 
relevant topics containing your keywords. 
Don't worry, here are some ways to get 
instant content: 

- Posting suitable articles that contain 
your keywords. These can either be your 
own or from article directories like 
http://www.ezinearticle.com , 
http://www.goarticles.com or 
http://webpronews.com 

- Posting newsletter issues in an archive 
online if you write any 

- Do reviews and commentaries on related 
products and services in your market as 
content 

Step 5: Aggressively Acquire Targeted Back Links 

This is the second most important (some say 
it's the first) factor to note after 
targeted and relevant content. 

Get as many good quality incoming links 
from other sites as you can, believe me, 
this will really make a huge difference to 
your rankings. These links should come from 
sites in your market and preferably those 
with high PageRanks of 5 and above. 

Use http://www.webmasterbrain.com/prog/ to 
search for sites with top rankings in 
Google for your specified keyword/keyword 
phrases. It also reveals their individual 
PageRanks next to their listings. 

An excellent resource to check PageRank can 
also be found at http://rankwhere.com. 

Alternatively, you can download Alexa 
toolbar from http://ww.alexa.com as it also 
shows Alexa traffic ranking for any site. 
This is very useful for seeking high 
traffic link partners. 

If you are looking for mind-blowing linking 
strategies and tricks, the best guide I've 
ever seen must be "Power Linking 2: 
Evolution" at:

Step 6: Hand Submit Your Site To The Top 
Directories and Search Engines 

There's no point in using those 'submit to 
millions' services as only a few search 
engines really matter. 

Using those services may actually cause 
your site to be penalized by these major 
engines. 

In fact if you've done enough important 
reciprocal linkings, you don't even need to 
submit your sites as spiders which crawl 
your link partner sites (already indexed) 
will pick up your link easily. 

However, if you must submit, do it by hand 
at these directories and search engines

Step 7: Tune Your Site For Maximum Optimization 

The final step would be to constantly 
monitor and analyze your website traffic 
against rankings. This is so you can review 
and tweak for further improvement in your 
rankings. 

I hope this article will prove highly 
useful to you. Do not be scare away by SEO, 
it's simple once you follow the above 
system. While these steps are not 
everything you can do, it'll be enough to 
get your site ranked very well for the 
targeted keywords you chose. 

Again, remember the number one rule of 
giving relevant content and establishing 
good back links. Help the search engines 
provide relevant results for their 
customers and your rankings will 
automatically skyrocket to the top!
