For the Gods of Google to accept your site, you must do more than offer up a golden cow. Here are the Ten Commandments to follow. Sinners will face purgatory with a penalty or be sent to hell with a lifetime ban.


The First Commandment - Thou Shalt Have Fresh Content

The easiest way to accomplish this is with a daily blog. One to three paragraphs of original content related to your site.


The Second Commandment - Thou Shalt Do Keyword Research

For each of your daily blogs, go to the Free Keyword Researcher on our Free Biz Tools page and identify a keyword string of 2-4 words long to title your blog.

Use the Keyword string in your blog content 1-3 times.


The Third Commandment - Thou Shalt Submit Daily Blog to Social Bookmarks

The exact keyword string that you identify for you blog's title will be used in each submission. Change up the description for each submission.

Here are the angels of Google that will help you ascend in the rankings and find a home in Google Heaven:

The Fourth Commandment - Thou Shalt Use the Site Name in the Title

The Google Gods want you to be true to yourself and not try to trick your fellow man.

The best way to accomplish this is to use it in the second half of the title. Ex: The Ten Commandments of Search : Sta.rtUp.biz


The Fifth Commandment - Though Shalt Have Links from Directories

Identify the keyword string that you want your index page to rank for and use it in the title of your submissions. Also, only do a couple of submissions each day.

Here is a list of PR4+ directories that have free submission. The $299 Yahoo directory submission is also a good move.

The Tenth Commandment - Thou Shalt Not Forget about Google Images

Google images accounts for a large amount of traffic and should not be ignored. On each daily blog, you should have an image that is clickable. Remember that Google images shows a bunch of thumbnails and not your blog content. Then use the keyword string to name the image, alt tag, and caption.



Although I may not be Moses, this list just may save the soul of your website.

Great post. I should not read posts like these before turning in for the night. They inspire me to take action until I find myself up until 3 a.m.!

I have been there many a time.

I read through the above information and it all sounds good but I need more guidance on how to apply it. Can we talk further about it?

WOW, I liked this as it brings a picture to my mind helping me understand a bit better, unfortunately the picture is clear but the language (SEO) is foreign (in my mind). Not that I haven't heard the term SEO before, I've heard it plenty, just never could fully understand it effectively.

When I first created my very first web page, www.ourjourneytolife.com it was on the top 3 pages but has now taken a back seat so it seems. I have many new additions on it, the latest being /kids.html and /VisionBoard.html which I thought was good for a "newbie in creating web pages" but I don't see my page listed anywhere despite all the blogging I've been doing in many of the social networks I'm in. Yet when my name is googled, it shows up, but none of my pages.

Can you advise what am I doing wrong? Thanks

PS
Also how do I use RSS? I've read and read but it still hasn't sunk in to my level of understanding. Thanks again

Today has been an enlightening day.Powerful and enriched. A lot of information to take in all at once. However, I will be re-visiting this post and following the great steps. Thanks so much for your effort and time in these instructions.

THANK YOU. This may be the greatest list anyone who wants to "go Web2.0/PR2.0" could ever have and I'll probably be working for weeks just to get our site in play. I thought I was on top of my game with http://marketpowerLLC.com and in many ways I may be, but other than Digg and Delicious I didn't even know some of these CATEGORIES existed, much less the sites. You are "beyond guru" and should blog at SEOShootout.com (if you don't already).

Good afternoon. I have communicated with you before and appreciate suggestions you made about optimizing our web site to get some kind of page ranking. I have done a LOT of the suggested items, I have added content and links to the page, and I am still not seeing any type of page rank. One thing I did notice is that Googlebot's last successful access to my home page was August 18, 2008. Could the ranking not change simply because I have to wait until Googlebot successfully accesses my web page again? If so, is it normal for a span of a month to go by without being accessed? Any additional information you can provide would be appreciated!

All this information is great and a wealth of knowledge on how to get SEO Rankings. It is quite a bit to digest but what he has broken down is very important stuff and getting ranked. I have been blessed with some friends who actually explain this stuff via webinars where you actually get to see a visual while they explain it to you. They teach SEO for a penny a day and you definitely see results after applying what you learn. I definitely like how you have broken down things here in this discussion.
