What do you need to get top
rankings on Google? What's the secret sauce of
success? There are many ingredients in the mix,
but here are three of the most important that you
need to concentrate on.
1.) Keyword relevant copy and content.
Whatever the keywords you want to get found
under, be sure that you have enough copy and
content about those specific word. Which would
give Google a reason to rank you in the first
place. If for example, one of you priority
keyword is "computer training software". Create a
separate page or section for this keyword (at
least a few paragraphs) using the keyword in the
headline, the first sentence, the last sentence as
well as wherever it makes logical sense in order
to achieve the keyword frequency and "density"
that search engines are looking for.
Additionally, by including on this specific
keyword page either articles, pdf files or news
items about your keyword, will help you improve
your chances of a better ranking. Give google a
reason to rank you at the top. He with the most
relevant copy wins .so make it rich and deep.
2.) Can the search engines read and "crawl" all
the pages and content on your site?
Probably the biggest surprise to most marketers
is that the search engines are unable to either
navigate or read most of the content on their
website. If they can't read your copy, then it's
not surprising that you're not getting the
rankings or traffic to your website that you
aspire to.
As search engines basically read html, sites
which are either "dynamic", or created in other
formats such as cold fusion, asp or php often
can't be read by the search engines. Even if they
can read the content on your site, they often
can't navigate it properly or just bounce "off the
walls" as there are no specific links or site map
on the site to tell the proper sequence or where
to go next

your pages are being seen by Google.
3.) Links... why they are so important?
Link popularity is one of the most important
factors search engines use in determining where
you will place in the search engine for your
keywords, and phrases, as it helps them to
determine how important or popular your site is.
In essence the search engines are saying" we're
going to give top ranking to sites that have a lot
of other important and relevant sites linking to
them."
Link Building is the process of finding
related/relevant websites and placing a link to
those websites on yours then asking them to link
back to you, i.e. link building is done through
link exchanges or reciprocal links; the process by
where both websites link to each other and bring
mutual benefit to each site.
How many links do you need to have? It depends
on the individual product category you compete in
and how many links your major competitors with the
top rankings have. At a minimum, you will at least
need 25-30 relevant links.
Linking is critical not only with your search
engine placement but it helps stabilize you
positions in the search engines and delivers
traffic directly from the sites that link to you.
In Summary, successfully implementing the above
3 strategies either through your own efforts or
through employing search engine promotion
specialists will deliver the "triple punch" and
the knockout punch you need to get top rankings on
Google and the other search engines as well.
