Search Engine optimization is a science all its own. The key thing is to decide what the keywords are that you want searchers to find you with. Use these keywords liberally in the text content of your site, the titles of your pages, and the keywords meta tag. Then get similar sites to link to you. You must have extensive content that relates to your keywords. Be creative with it and watch your ranking improve.

Hi Stephen,\n\nWhen you publish your site with Yahoo!, we automatically submit your site to Yahoo! Search, but unfortunately this doesn't always mean that your site will beat out other sites in the search results -- there's a lot of competition out there, and many sites jockeying for the same top spots.\n\nThere are several things you can do to make your site easier to find, from adding keywords to your pages and sending out email newsletters to signing up for a "pay-for-placement" service like Yahoo! Sponsored Search, which is aimed at small businesses and can be very affordable. Visit the Promote tab of your Web Hosting Control Panel for a look at some available services, or check out our help center for more ideas!\n\nPromotion tools: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/webhosting/promote/ \nSearch engine overview: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/sbiz/searchengine/\n\nGood luck!\n\nJen\nYahoo!

There is a whole cottage industry to "get you to be the first in a search engine"... It is called Search Engine Optimization (SEO) or Search Engine Marketing (SEM).\n\n- Do not under any circumstances hire a company that guarantees the first position.  Such claims are certainly will get you banned from the largest and most important search engines.\n\n- PPC or pay per click programs may drive traffic to your site, but will not "raise" your site within search engine listing.\n\n- Surprisingly studies have shown that the first position is often ignored!  If you get on the top of the first page, "above the fold"( you show up without having to scroll down), you are gold!\n\nSearch engine positioning depends very much on the search engine, and what type of algorythm they use to rank web sites.\n\nThe primary factors in most engines are content and authority.  Content refers to articles and documents which are unique and specially related to the key phrase or word to which you want your site to be on top.  Authority refers to how well your site is linked - that is how many good sites within the same topic, link to you.\n\nYou might want to revisit "why" you want to be high on that search engine list...  To drive traffic? If that is the case, then concentrate on the root, which is getting more traffic to your site and not solely on position in a search engine.  Advertising in that case makes more sense.\n\nThe de facto authority on this information is WebmasterWorld.  This site provides detailed discussions on various search engines and how to promote your site.

There are some ways:\n\n1. Post in forums. If your site is about link exchange, search for link exchange forums in Google, get a forum account and post actively there. Include your signature with a link to your site.\n\n2. Submit your site to Google Sitemap. This way, Google will crawl your site faster increasing your chances of appearing on Google Search Engines.\n\n3. Join TrafficSwarm to get some traffic by reading other people's website first. In return, they will go to your site. Check out http://www.wanginternet.com/traffic\n\nFor various ways to make some money online, see http://www.wanginternet.com

First of all, you need to submit your website to the different search engines. You can do that by the following links: \n\n(1) Yahoo Submit :\nhttp://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request\n\n(2) Google Site Submit :\nhttp://www.google.com/url?sa=X&revid=754385775&qpos=0&upos=0&oi=revisions_inline&q=http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl\n\n(3) Other search engines :\nhttp://www.addme.com/submission.htm\n\nTo improve upon your ranking in the search results, you also need to get links from other websites. You can tell your friend sites to link you up. Also if your site has good content, websites may link you up, thus helping in imporving your page rank.

work on getting your website ranked higher on the search engines.  List yourself in open directories and get a lot of others to link to your site.\n\nAdvertise your site if it's within your budget. Plug your site whenever you can - like you did here.  Add it to your signature on your outgoing emails.  Radio interviews and articles can help too.  Send out a press release and see who you can pay to pick it up.

Go to Guru.com or Elance.com and bid for SEO projects.\n\nI also suggest you hang out in forums such as Webmaster World http://www.webmasterworld.com as there are a lot of SEOs out there. That will help you continue to sharpen your SEO skills and find out what others are doing with regards to canonical problems, getting out of Google sandbox, optimizing for Google Big Daddy changes and other issues with search engines

OK.  There are two things I can think of.  First, make sure to submit your site to the Yahoo! search engine.  The link is http://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html?fr=FP-tab-web-t.  The second is that you just recently added your site and so..it takes a while to get into the system.  I know someone who is fairly Internet savy and he says it takes about a year to start getting hits on a major search engine.  It looks like Yahoo! may have ways you can pay around that, though.  You may want to hit the Google search engine, too, since a lot of other searech engines will piggy-back off of it.  You can try contacting other websites for links, though, and that might get you some traffic until then.  When you do put your site in the search engine, remember to add META-tags onto your website to get more hits.  I can't remember off of the top of my head how to do them just now, but if you type it into a search engine, you should be able to figure it out.

Hi Jerry, I could have gone on lenght on answering your query. I am still astonished over the insignificance given to external links in JazzMoney's answer. At the first part, one need's to understand the meaning of page rank. You can study a detailed article on it at http://www.webworkshop.net/pagerank.html . \n\nIn short, here's an example. There's an election and  several candidates have stood up. Its natural that the guy with the most votes wins. Analogously, whenever a external page links to your website, it casts a vote for your website. So, when you search for a relevant keyword for your pages, the results come as per the no of links that you have collected.\n\nTo get more links, you can ask some of your friends who have website to put link to your website. The more the links, the higher is your rank in google results. An alternative is to start your own blog on 3-4 websites, and in each blog, put a link to your website. Indeed, if your site has quality content, mpressed visitors start linking you, specially the blogging community.\n\nAnother important part is that who links you. For example, if you get a link from a website which already has a high page rank, you automatically get a better rank. For example, if you get a link from microsoft.com or cnet.com, which have a highest page ranks, your rank shoots up automatically.\n\nGoogle rank is composed of many other factors, but the only factor it misses out is the popularity by visitors who go to the links directly. Yahoo does a good job by keeping that into account. If you carefully see the link that are seen in the Yahoo search results, a similar vote is also casted by clicking on the link in the search results. It could be possible that your website has huge no. of visitors who come through searches, but small number of links. Then its Yahoo rank would be high (more accurate), but google rank would be low. There have been many such interesting cases, so don't just consider google as your only target. Why google does not keep this 'click popularity' feature is because it takes a certain delay of time( for registering of vote on Yahoo and forwarding to the actual link), which Google does not want to take. \n\nThings You Should Never Do In Life:\nNever try to promote your site commercially from spamsters. Some of their sites are banned from google database. And if they give a link to your website, your page rank drops down drastically, and even might get removed from the search results. Also, do not link to their websites.\n\nThis is the solution to crux of your problem. You can read further on such search engine optimizations at the following sites :\n\nhttp://wolfram.org/writing/howto/3.html\nhttp://www.ssw.com.au/SSW/Standards/Rules/RulestoBetterGoogleRankings.aspx\nhttp://www.netmechanic.com/news/vol3/promo_no16.htm\nhttp://us.ecademy.com/node.php?id=58077\nhttp://www.paramountwebmasters.com/improve_my_rankings_on_google.php\nhttp://www.graphic-design.com/Web/increase_rank.html

Long answer short : Follow three steps :\n\n(1) Put good content on your blog\n(2) Register it to search engines\n(3) Convince other sites to link more.\n\nExplaination :\n\nI could have gone on lenght on answering your query.

Well, first of all, if you just set up your website last week you can't expect to already be in the top 1,000 in any search engine.\n\nThere are millions and millions of sites on the internet and to break into the top 100,000 would be a major feat after years on the internet.\n\nNow, keep in mind that you can 'buy' your placement on most of the search engines but if you are like most of us, who wants to spend money.\n\nSubmit your site once per month to the major search engines, go ahead and submit it to the less known engines about once every two weeks.\n\nWhat ever you do - don't waste your time placing ads on free for all (FFA) websites as you will get nothing more than junk email in return for your efforts.\n\nResearch and find all the free directories you can to list your site based upon the kind of business site you have.\n\nMake sure you have proper key words in your meta tag on the home page of your website. (HTML codes)\n\nBe patient - promote your site when ever and where ever you can on the internet. You should spend 70% of your time promoting your website. (70% of your time on the computer that is - don't forget you have a life, more than likely another job, etc.)

Ok this is a very hard task, but you need to start by adding your website to http://dmoz.org/ it's free and if they approve you then you know that your website is going to be submited to major search engines like google, yahoo, msn, etc.\n\nYou need to optimize your website for search engine. It's called SEO or Search Engine Optimization. There are so many articles about that. In summary, you need to choose good keywords and the keywords need to be found in your pages. Use good page titles that describe your pages. Also keep your web pages updated since crawlers only crawl your website when they are updated. Don't use spamming because search engines use very complicated algorithms that will detect that and then you will never be able to recover your site reputation again.\n\nI hope that I answered your question,\nhttp://thingsicando.com/kinan
